Last time I was in Mexico, I heard an acoustic cover of The Clash's song "Spanish Bombs". It was almost as good as -- perhaps better than -- the original. I remember three things about it: a woman sang it, it was slow, and had some accordion in it.
For years, that version of Spanish Bombs has been living rent free in my head, and I can't find it anywhere on the Internet. It's been haunting me like a ghost.
If someone from Latin America or Spain knows about that song, please let me know who makes it. I need to hear it again!
