"Pistolero"
Song

Pistolero is a song released by electronica band Juno Reactor, and recorded on their fifth album Shango.
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 Goa Trance 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 is subsequently included on the film's soundtrack release. It also featured in Jet Moto 3 and Sugar & Spice and is the background music of the Israeli TV Spanish Football League Matches.
