“Tequila” by The Champs (f/ Tommy Avallone)

If you're like me, the first time you heard The Champs' "Tequila" was probably when Pee-wee Herman danced on a bar in the 1985 film Pee-wee's Big Adventure. This week’s guest, Tommy Avallone, is a die-hard cinephile and prolific documentary filmmaker. His latest documentary The House From... is currently streaming on Fubo and Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort channel. Since Pee-wee’s house from the iconic Tim Burton movie is heavily featured, we thought now was the perfect time to discuss this single-word hit song!
