Actually there's a Mexican or Mexican-flavored version (or two) of this I really want to find for my CD swaps... One is by the guy who did the gay cowboy song, "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly..."

And I don't mean Willie Nelson or Pansie Division. They covered Cowboys but didn't write it.

Ned Sublette! That's who. Somebody LimeWire it for us, eh? Or I will later. GRITS and/or Cowboys. Cowboys is a hilarious masterpiece.
