Can someone help me ID a song?

[Oeditpus Rex]

Alarcojon's "STONERS" thread made me think of it. Haven't heard it in... gawd, 30 years, and all I can remember are bits of the chorus:

Yeah, we're goin' south (south)
Gonna get some Acapulco Gold
da-da da-da da-da da-da
da-da da-da da-da da-da
da-da da-da da-da da-da
of Acapulco Gold

If this helps, it was kind of... I dunno, sort of old wailing Westernish. Only song I can think of with a similar sound was that Monkees tune "Magnolia Sims."

Any ideas? :shrug:

1. I do not recognize it

anything about acapulco gold being bad ass weed?
never mind that was just a saying:
no stems
no seeds
that you don't need
acapulco gold
is badass weed...

2. That's from a Cheech and Chong bit

It was the jingle to a commercial being recorded for Acapulco Gold cigarettes. The celebrity spokesman was Ashleigh Roachclip of the Jefferson Hairpie, who blew his lines because he was stoned.

"Every time I lay some of this Gold on one of my friends, they light it up and they just take one toke and they look at me and they say, 'Roach, this weed's so muthafuckin' baaaad.'"

"Hey, you can't say that! That's not right!"

"Hey, man, what you want, now? Good grammar or good taste?"

It was on the first album, btw. :7

3. Acaculpo Gold

ACAPULCO GOLD
Me and Marty took a honeymoon,
Below the border 'neath the silvery moon,
I was eighteen and he was twenty two,
Now we're just a-doin' what the young folks do
We're goin' south, south, to get that
Acapulco Gold
Ain't nothin' it can't fix,
Old dogs can learn new tricks,
When the streets are lined with bricks
Of Acapulco Gold
We'd just 'bout decided to cadge the whole thing
But then we thought that we ought to swing
You know the southland's got the keys,
Curin' them cotton pickin' sniffles and sneeze
refrain
Zig zag polly wolly diddum woddum doo
Hey diddle diddle twenty three skidoo
Me and Marty sure had fun
Acapulco Gold for everyone

Now if I can find the artist... and the holy grail would be an MP3. :bounce:
