What's your favorite Baja song?
So, I wonder how many songs have places in Baja in the lyrics. Here is a song all about the cowboys of Baja. When the gals in my little neighborhood
get together with their ukuleles, this is the first song they want to sing. I think they are all secretly in love with Arturo.
The other thread about the cowboys of Baja made me think of this one;

Here's one that the gals ask me to play over again.
"Mexican Moon" by Concrete Blonde.

The lyrics don't include Baja, but it deserves mention.

I remember that one, "Wish I was in Tiajuana," and it made me think of Border Radio by the Blasters.
But it has no mention of a place in Baja though, so disqualified....

No Baja places mentioned in it, but I really enjoy James Taylor's 'Mexico' when I cross the border!

Warren Zevon's "Carmelita"
I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park

It probably won't make a 'favorites' list, but I can't help but think of "The Tijuana Jail", by the Kingston Trio.
You may need to jump in the way back machine to find it!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

When he says, "I've never really been, so I don't really know," he loses me. It ruins the song.

With mention of 'mountains and Cortez Sea' this one gets close enough to Loreto that we'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Cool song.
