It may have been tongue in cheek, but here's the ender in my opinion: I'll never forget the opening line to the Marty Robbins song "El Paso":
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl.

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
We also have the Beach Boys:
Fell in love years ago with an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Of the heroes and villains
Sinatra (and many others):
South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love
when the stars above
came out to play
And even Elton John:
When along came a seƱorita
She looked so good that I had to meet her
I was ready to approach her with my English charm
When her brass knuckled boyfriend grabbed me by the arm
Some of those Mexican girls are very pretty, and very nice.
