Whether the piece was Ernest Gold's 'Theme From Exodus' or Bob Dylan's
'Lay Lady Lay', they put their inimitable stamp on everything they
recorded. Growing up in the '60s and '70s, their music was as often
played as the hit vocalists of the day were.
No, I just chose that name when I decided it was not really safe to
use my real name on the Internet, so why not adopt the name of my
idol?

Their version of 'Tico Tico' was the best.
I don't recall F & T's version. Many back then to jumble up, like Ray
Coniff's and Montovani.
My fav Tico is by Los Indios Tabajaras.
I don't care for the sung versions. Carmen Miranda's version is OK, but
it's damn had to sing all those notes! The Andrews Sisters version is
more accurately sung because it is mucho slowed down, and even "swung" in
a verse or two.

F&T's version is REALLY fast without being too jumbled. It's as if
they drank way too much coffee or something.
It's also quite percussive, almost to the point of being cartoonish.
You can hear it here:

Now that I've just heard it again, it sounds like something Esquivel
would have done.
Agreed - the F&T version does sound a little like Esquivel space music.
For the Indios version, let's see if this link will work:

Ooooh. Very cool. Thanks! I tried to download and save it but it cuts
off early.
I'll seek it out elsewhere.

A decent bio is at:

Their biggest hit is "Maria Elena" and made the US Top Ten.
Yeah, I remember them (and their regalia) but I hadn't heard their
take on 'Tico'.
