Tequila Claus
Story Behind the Song
"Tequila Claus" is a comedy built entirely around one beautiful misunderstanding. Santa shows up to his first posada in Puerto Vallarta and keeps hearing the whole bar cheer for someone named Don Julio. Assuming Don Julio must be some respected local gentleman, he politely asks to be introduced.
Of course, every time the name Don Julio gets shouted, a shot of tequila lands in front of him, and out of pure politeness Santa drinks it. Round after round, he keeps drinking and keeps looking for the man he is supposed to meet. As the night wears on he is dancing with no rhythm at all and slowly losing his composure, still searching for Don Julio. By the end he is sprawled on a couch, finally realizing the Don Julio he was chasing all night was the tequila itself. The locals christen him Tequila Claus, because now his eyes light up every time he hears the name.
It is the most tongue-in-cheek track on Navidad En Vallarta, and proudly so. Every holiday album needs one song that is pure party, and this is mine. Pour one, laugh a little, and let the night run long.
