"Mi Burrito" is a popular Latin-American folk song, but the big band jazz arrangement is an original composition by Raymond Harry Brown. Brown composed it for his wife in 1973 when he had a rehearsal band in New York City that included his brother, Steve Brown, Steve Gadd, Tony Levin, Will Lee, Marvin Stamm, Louie Del Gaddo, Dave Taylor, Tom Malone, Sam Burtis, and others. Brown named the composition after a huge stuffed animal burro that he purchased for his wife rural Kentucky, when he was on the road with the Studio Band of The United States Army Field Band.

Brown's arrangement of "Mi Burrito" was one of 96 chosen by the One O'Clock Lab Band for their concert tour of the Soviet Union in 1976. Soviet censors, given prior approval of the set lists, prohibited the group from playing two pieces: "Mi Burrito" and "St. Thomas". The band played them anyway, without announcing the titles, and they were included in a live NBC satellite broadcast from Moscow on July 4, 1976.[3][4]
