This group is the absolute definition of "one-hit wonder". The band wasn't even formed until after the song was released and hit the top of the charts. The musicians had been brought together to record for Dave Burgess (AKA Dave Dupree) in an attempt to record a hit for the artist. "Tequila" just happened to be the B-side of another song, "Train to Nowhere". The album didn't make any headway until the B-side started to get some radio play. After the success of the song, the artists formed the group; however, they never found that success again.
The song has been used in more than one movie, but it's most iconic appearance by far is in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Pee Wee uses the song as a backing track to dance his way out of a beat down after knocking over all the bikes belonging to the gang in the background. He is then sent on his way with a bike of his own. It doesn't turn out well for Mr. Herman. You can watch the dance scene below.
