Mendocino is a song written in 1968 by Doug Sahm , which became a number one hit in Switzerland in the version of the Sir Douglas Quintets .  In Germany it came in second place on the charts, in the United States it reached number 27 of the Billboard Hot 100 . A German version published in 1969 with a text by Michael Holm , who also interpreted the song, reached # 3 of the German charts.  The song was awarded in Germany the best-selling of the year and with a golden record.  The success brought Holm the nickname Mr. Mendocino .

Holm, who was already writing for hit-up singers like Ricky Shayne , Siw Malmkvist , Howard Carpendale, and other songs, was about to stop singing. However, he was persuaded by producer Giorgio Moroder to record Mendocino. Through the song, Michael Holm rose to become a popular Schlagerstar of the 1970s.

Mendocino was used as a filmong in High Fidelity ; there is also a Serbo-Croatian version titled Mendozino .
In 1975 Mike Krüger recorded a stupid version under the title Auf dem Straße .
