Wikipedia article
'Pistolero' is a single released by trance band Juno Reactor, taken from their fifth album 'Shango', released in 1998.
The song opens with Spanish acoustic guitar and a female voice saying, "I hate robbing banks" followed by a blast of gun fire that introduces the beat.
"Pistolero" was done in a collaboration between Ben Watkins and Steve Stevens, guitarist for Billy Idol. The song opened up an entirely new direction for Juno Reactor.
Trivia
The voice sample used at the beginning of the song, "I hate robbing banks", was said by Anne Baxter in the 1966 'Batman' episode "Zelda the Great".
Pistolero was featured during the trailer for the movie 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' as well as the film itself and was subsequently included on the film's soundtrack. It also featured in 'Jet Moto 3' and 'Sugar & Spice' and is the background music of the Israeli TV Spanish Football League matches.
