Do you know that the famous "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes was actually a last-minute addition to his album "Partners in Crime"? Holmes finished the entire album without "Escape", but at the last minute, he didn't like one of the songs and decided to replace it. With just a few hours before the final mix, he penned "Escape", which has become an anthem for Piña Colada lovers worldwide. It's the only song in history to ascend to number one in the Billboard charts two separate times in different decades (1979 and 1980). Now that's a tune we can toast our non-alcoholic Piña Coladas to!
