Dapper Man

by The Mendozaz

Hey! We're The Mendozaz and this is our third video: "Dapper Man". It's a song that Jonny wrote while competing for the affections of a young lady who was enamoured with a particularly striking man. It's a fast one and has tons of profanity in the chorus, so we hope you'll be inspired to sing along.
