Loco in Acapulco
"Loco in Acapulco" is a song by American vocal group the Four Tops, released as a single in 1988. It was written and produced by Phil Collins and Lamont Dozier, for the soundtrack to the film Buster, that also starred Collins in the title role.
It was released on Arista Records and became an international hit, reaching number 7 in the UK chart, and number 9 in the Netherlands. The song did not chart in the U.S., as it was issued as the B-side to "Change of Heart", when it was released as a single in the US during 1989. The song is about partying and having fun in the Mexican city of Acapulco. The song subsequently appeared on the Four Tops' 1988 studio album, Indestructible.
