"im pretty sure the drink "tequila sunrise" was named after this song"

Actually, the drink is the reason they almost rejected the title. They were considering another title because it was so cliche, and the drink was so popular then, but Henly mentioned seeing it as "You've been drinking straight tequila all night, and the sun's coming up." rather than the drink.

They kept the title.
