Love for Sale: No. 13

'Mexican Blackbird' (1975)
--ZZ Top

This is without a doubt the most socially insensitive hooker song ever written. The Texas blues-rock trio sounds like a pervy tourist board, claiming that if you find yourself in Acuna, "and you ain't up to being alone," you should procure the services of a certain half-black, half-Mexican dancer/prostitute. Because nobody knows her real name, she goes by a tag we can't bring ourselves to print.
