In 1966, Herb Alpert, president of A & M Records as well as a million selling recording artist, cut a deal with Paramount to produce an animated short set to the beat of three of his Tijuana Brass songs.
"Mexican Shuffle" was also used by the makers of Clark gum for an ad campaign (found at The Land of Whatever).
"Spanish Flea" was co-opted by Chuck Barris for use on the original Dating Game.
"Tijuana Taxi" completes the set, though the "Double Feature" title emphasizes the last two.
The Oscar winning duo of John & Faith Hubley and their staff animated the video.
