Loco in Acapulco

"Loco in Acapulco" is a song by the Four Tops, released as a single in 1988. It was written and produced by Phil Collins (who played drums on the track) and Lamont Dozier (one third of the group's Motown long-time songwriting team, Holland–Dozier–Holland), for the soundtrack to the film Buster, that also starred Collins in the title role.

It was released on Arista Records and became an international hit, reaching number 7 in the UK chart, and number 9 in the Netherlands. The song did not chart in the U.S., as it was issued as the B-side to "Change of Heart", when it was released as a single in the US during 1989. The song is about partying and having fun in the Mexican city of Acapulco. The song would subsequently appear on their 1988 studio album, Indestructible.
