Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off was released by American country singer Joe Nichols in 2005 as a single from his album III. Written as a humorous warning about tequila on a night out, the song became one of Nichols' signature hits and reached the top of the Billboard country chart. Its catchy title line survived long after radio play, circulating as a ringtone, party playlist staple and short meme clip online, where creators reuse the chorus to joke about drinks, dancing and nights that get out of hand.
