    "comment": "70s British progressive rock band Babe Ruth released \"The Mexican\" on their 1973 album First Base.\n\nOriginally known as Shacklock then renamed to Babe Ruth, the group formed in 1971, disbanded five years later in 1976, then reformed 2002 for the album Que Pasa.\n\n\"The Mexican\" was more recently sampled in \"VCRs\" by JID & Vince Staples (2025). One of the most famous uses was Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force, which helped define the electro-funk sound (1982).",
