Salsa Tequila


"Salsa Tequila" is a novelty song by Norwegian comedian Anders Nilsen in Spanish. He doesn't speak Spanish, as he admits in the song by saying "No hablo español". To make the song catchy, he uses accordion and saxophone mixes, noting that their usage had become prevalent in many recent hits. The song is written and produced by Nilsen, and was released in 2014 on Sony Music. It was a huge commercial success in Norway and the Netherlands and has charted in Belgium. The lyric music video is directed by Galvan Mehidi.

Lyrics

Nilsen collected various habitual greetings and words and phrases in Spanish, some popular Spanish destinations, various traditional Hispanic foods and drinks, some Spanish, Portuguese and Hispanic celebrities and a few Spanish language international hits. The song sometimes repeats and mixes these phrases. For example, the term "tequila" appears in the song title, chorus and bridge. A Spanish count-off appears twice in the song, in the second verse and in the bridge.
The song is a parody of club songs, with the message that a song could become a hit even if the lyrics do not make any sense.
