"Spanish Flea" is a hit song for Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. The song notably served as the theme tune for The Dating Game.
In the 1974 special, Herb Alpert and the TJB, Rufus specifically requests Alpert and his band play the song (resorting to charades to deliver the title). The band proceeds to play the song, with two Bossmen dancing along.
