No, it’s not a statement, it’s a catchy tune by the legendary Four Tops. 1988’s Loco in Acapulco. If you haven’t heard of Four Tops, I’m sure you would have at least heard their biggest hit, the 1965’s “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) “.

Four Tops – Loco in Acapulco

Goin loco, down in a acapulco
If you stay too long
Yes, you’ll be goin loco
Down in a acapulco
The magic down there is so strong

Feel the pressure
Your back’s up against the wall
Love is in the mood
You’re just about to fall
If you’re afraid to love
Afraid to take a chance
You’d better hide your feeling
Get out or you can’t

Cause you’ll be going loco
Down in a acapulco
If you stay to long
Yes, you’ll be goin loco
Down in a acapulco
The magic down there is so strong

You will be pulling out your hair
Drowning in the spare
With a whole alot of loving
On your way to no-where
Guess a pound of knifes will cut to an inn
If you realize what a fool you’ve been
You’ll be haunted by her face
Missing hear morning brace
Memories of loving her, holding her tight, every night;
Was that the best part of your life?
Hearing her voice, softing up
Begging you to please, please don’t go

You can her voices bleeding through those warm Latin nights
Memories are lost and found
Leaving broken hearts
All over town, all over town
