Gorilla, 1975
Written by James Taylor
A shaker, conga, and some salsa-infused vibraphone give this wistful country-rock song an appropriately Latin tinge. David Crosby and Graham Nash provide backing vocals. The song is a paean to Mexico, painted as a sweet-sounding paradise with "a sleepy señorita with her eyes on fire." The joke of the song is that the narrator admits "I've never really been / So I don't really know." It's little wonder that laid-back tropical jokester Jimmy Buffett covered it.
