A Narco Corrido for Patricio
I have always been fascinated with Narco Corrido songs which often feature famous Mexican Drug Lords. You are not truly a heavy weight in the drug cartel until you have a Narco Corrido written for you by a band.
Which is why I wrote this Narco Corrido for my straight edge brother Patrick who we call Patricio.
Every Narco Corrido starts off with a nickname of the hero whether its “Chapo” or “Chino” or “El Chignon” – a name that perfectly sums up that person up. Well for Patrick, I chose the name “Mochilon” which technically means Big BackPack. Patrick loves to wear his backpack everywhere he goes so he is “El Mochilon”
Continental Breakfast
I always hear bands say, “Yeah, well we wrote this song in our hotel room.”. I always wanted to do that. Like a traveling song writer in a hotel. Well, I got the chance while staying at a classic Marriott Hotel.
The term Continental Breakfast is one of those expressions that always made me think I was going to get more than I actually ended up getting. It sounds better than saying assorted lukewarm fruits and stale pastries.
I wrote this song in my hotel room and created two versions. I just recorded it today and uploaded it. I first created the classic The Fred Astaire Version and then I created the Country Inn and Suites remix. Enjoy.
