Roger Miller Show: Baja Marimba Band

Duration:

Year Published: 1966

Creator: Roer Miller

Complete Record: Miller sings a brief introduction song wearing a tux. Then, he introduces the marimba band and we cut to a fake desert scene with a box car line behind. The band are all fake Mexicans, wearing huge sombreros and cowboy outfits. Some are sitting on the ground, and some are standing with their instruments. Eventually, other members walk on set, and it’s a mariachi band! Camera pulls out to reveal an aqueduct or half wall, and a group of girl dancers in big sombreros come on stage. They do a goofy dance, then Miller comes back on and does a short comic interview with one of the musicians. Miller takes off the guy’s hat to reveal blond hair! It’s really a British guy!
