The Mexican è un brano musicale dei Babe Ruth del 1972, originariamente pubblicato nel loro album First Base (1972), e uscito sotto forma di singolo nel 1973.

Descrizione

The Mexican venne scritto da Alan Shacklock e registrato durante l'estate del 1972 agli Abbey Road Studios assieme alle altre canzoni contenute in First Base. Il brano è un'aperta critica al film di John Wayne La battaglia di Alamo (1960), accusato dalla band di essere pieno di inesattezze storiche e di aver ridotto il ruolo dei messicani che sconfissero le truppe texane al ruolo di "cattivi" senza un lato umano. La canzone presenta un ritmo incisivo, un basso funky e mette in luce gli interessi di Shacklock per le sparatorie del cinema western e la musica afro-americana.[1] Il brano interpola la colonna sonora di Per qualche dollaro in più scritta da Morricone.

Un campionamento del brano venne utilizzato da Afrika Bambaataa e i Soulsonic Force nella loro Planet Rock (1982).[2]

Formazione

  • Alan Shacklock – chitarra, organo, percussioni
  • Jenny Haan – voce
  • Dave Hewitt – basso
  • Dave Punshon – tastiere, pianoforte elettrico
  • Dick Powell – percussioni
