Countrymusikeren Joe Nichols fra Arkansas, var et relativt veletableret navn, da han i 2005 udgav sit tredie album. Der var imidlertid eet af numrene på pladen, som skulle gøre Joe Nichols kendt langt ud over countryscenen. “Tequila makes her clothes fall off” var et monsterstort country hit, ikke mindst på grund af den muntre musikvideo med masser af bikinipiger, fest og et rapt, småfrækt, countrymusik-nummer med en inciterende tekst. Nummeret udløste den første gold single til Joe Nichols og var en nærmest uvurderlig reklame for Patron Tequila. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nj2700em-JQ
Duoen Gary Hannan and John Wiggins skrev nummeret på en serviet på et værtshus. Da først teksten var ved at være i hus, satte en vis betænkelighed ved emnet ind, og de besluttede at lukke sangen med “She don’t mean nothing, she’s just having fun” for ikke at støde nogen.
Joe Nichols og hans tequilapiger har lige pt 32 millioner visninger på Youtube!
LYRICS: Written by Gary Hannan and John Wiggins
She said, “I’m going out with my girlfriends
For margaritas at the Holiday Inn”
Oh have mercy my only thought
Was tequila makes her clothes fall off
I told her put an extra layer on
I know what happens when she drinks Patron
Her closet’s missing half the things she bought
Yeah, tequila makes her clothes fall off
She’ll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink
Them panty hose ain’t gonna last too long
If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on
She might come home in a table cloth
Yeah, tequila makes her clothes fall off
She can handle any champagne brunch
A bridal shower with Bacardi punch
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff
But tequila makes her clothes fall off
She’ll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink
She don’t mean nothing, she’s just havin’ fun
Tomorrow she’ll say, “Oh what have I done?”
Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost
Yeah, tequila makes her clothes fall off
Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off
Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off
