Wikipedia article
"'Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off'" is a song written by Gary Hannan and John Wiggins and recorded by American country music artist Joe Nichols. It was released in August 2005 as the first single from Nichols' album 'III'. The song became Nichols' second number one hit on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Songs chart in late 2005.
One of the song's co-writers, John Wiggins performed with his sister Audrey in the mid-1990s as the country duo John & Audrey Wiggins.
Content
The song's narrator discusses how a woman close to him carelessly misplaces her clothes when she drinks tequila, a problem that does not seem to be triggered by other alcoholic beverages.
Music video
A music video was released in October 2005 and directed by Stephen Shepherd. After Nichols ushers his grandmother out of the house, he proceeds to throw a wild pool party during which copious amounts of tequila are consumed. The video contains a plot twist at the end where it is implied that the song lyrics may be referring not to a significant other, but rather the grandmother.
Critical reception
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a negative rating, saying that it was "mind-numbingly inane." In his review of the album, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic discussed the song favorably, saying that while it has a "silly name and would seem like a throwaway novelty, it is genuinely funny". He also said that Nichols "delivers it with sly humor and a low-key swagger that shows more character, as a vocalist, than he did on his previous albums."
Chart performance
The song debuted at number 59 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Songs chart on the week ending August 6, 2005.
