Tampico (song)

Tampico (song)

"Tampico" is a popular song, written in 1945 by Gene Roland and produced by Stan Kenton. The song gave June Christy a top-ten hit in 1945, peaking at #6 on the Billboard charts.

The song takes a satirical look at the Mexican city of its title, suggesting that at the time, Tampico, Tamaulipas, had become more American than the U.S. itself, and that many of the souvenirs which could be bought there had been manufactured in the United States.
