Guitarist, D. Boon, wrote "Corona" following a trip to Mexico on Independence Day in 1982 with his fellow Minutemen bandmates. The band fell asleep on the beach and when they awoke, they saw a Mexican lady collecting their empty beer bottles, which she could then return to the distributor for a very small cash reward. Moved by what he saw, Boon wrote this song for the Mexican people living in poverty.
An instrumental version of this song was used as the theme tune for both the Jackass television series and film franchise.
The song title derives from the Mexican beer of the same name.
