Very early color clip filmed in Santa Barbara (where the El Paseo Restaurant is now) during Fiesta.. the cowboy that rides up on the horse with guns a blazing is Leo Carrillo who the Surf Spot also known as SECOS is named after. They sing the original version of La Cucaracha (the cockroach) with the lyrics mentioning Marijuana or Marihuana yet thrown in the words Santa Barbara etc, ....SPANISH.. La Cucaracha, La cucarach, ya no puede caminar porque no tiene, porque le falta marihuana pa'fumar... ENGLISH The Cockroach, the cockroach, can't walk anymore because it doesn't have, because it's lacking Marijuana to smoke.. (this is also where we got the slang ROACH for the small butt that is left of a smoked joint.. since way back when Cucaracha was also slang for marijuana.
