Time For Hoochie-Coochie :-)

The tune wins me over immeidately with its curious opening call to arms: 'It's time for hoochie-coochie.' This is a wonderful wink at Charo, the scantily clad, buoyant and bosomy 60s and 70s talk-show staple who played the dumb Latin bombshell but was actually whip-smart and an accomplishment flamenco guitarist. Charo was also a teenager married to septugenarian bandleader Xavier Cugat.
Estefan racked up a #1 hit with this both in the clubs worldwide and on US Latin radio; the tune came to my attention when I caught it on Brazilian television...
Icing on the cake: the delightful video heavily spoofs 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' with slight hints of 'La Cage Aux Folles' and 'Some Like It Hot'... Enjoy!
