Loco in Acapulco - The Four Tops

Loco in Acapulco was a 1988 hit song by The Four Tops. It was written by Phil Collins and Lamont Dozier for the film "Buster" that also starred Phil Collins in the title role. Going loco down in Acapulco, If you stay too long. Yes you'll be going loco down in Acapulco, The magic down there is so strong. Feel the pressure, your back's against the wall. Love is gaining on you, you're just about to fall. If you're afraid to love, afraid to take a chance, You better hide your feelings, get out while you can. 'Cause you'll be going loco down in Acapulco, if you stay too long. Yes youll be going loco down in Acapulco, The magic down there is so strong. You can hear voices pleading through those warm Latin nights. Memories are lost and found, leaving broken hearts all over town. Going loco down in Acapulco, If you stay too long. Yes you'll be going loco down in Acapulco, The magic down there is so strong. You'll be pulling out your hair, drowning in despair, With a whole lot of nothing, on your way to nowhere. Your search for paradise will come to an end When you realize what a fool you've been. You'll be haunted by her face, missing her warm embrace. Memories of loving her, holding her tight every night. Was that the best part of your life? Hearing her voice soft and low, begging you to please, please don't go. Don't go! Don't go! Don't go! - You can hear voices pleading through those warm Latin nights. Memories are lost and found, leaving broken hearts all over town, all over ...

Acapulco - Mexico

Acapulco is a city, municipality and major sea port in the state of Guerrero on the Pacific coast of Mexico, 300 kilometres (190 mi) southwest from Mexico City. The city is best known as one of Mexicos oldest and most well-known beach resorts, which came into prominence by the 1950s as a getaway for Hollywood stars and millionaires. Acapulco is still famous for its nightlife and still attracts many vacationers, although most are now from Mexico itself. The resort area is divided into two. The north end of the bay is the traditional area, where the famous in the mid 20th century vacationed and the south end is dominated by newer luxury high rise hotels. Acapulco is located on a deep, semi-circular bay and has been a port since the early colonial period of Mexicos history. It is a port of call for shipping and cruising lines running between Panama and San Francisco, California, United States. The tourist resort city of Acapulco is the largest city in the state, far larger than the state capital Chilpancingo. The name "Acapulco" comes from the Nahuatl language, and means "place of big reeds" or place of broken reeds. de Juárez was added to the official name in 1885 to honor Benito Juárez. The seal for the city shows broken reeds or cane. ( source Wikipedia )
