"Tijuana Taxi" #38 2/5/1966

Herb Alpert said this Top 10 easy listening hit was based on an actual wild cab ride he and a friend took through Tijuana to attend a bullfight. Our clip today is one of those Scopitone films that were a precursor to music videos. Seriously, they were made for jukeboxes with little projectors inside. Not sure, but I believe it was filmed at Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California. On a 1-10 scale this video is around a 12 on the Cheez-O-Meter.
