FW: Politiquera, Pachanga, Palanca (OED? DARE? Double-Tongued? Anywhere?)

[Wilson Gray]

The OED Online reads:

"Oxford English Dictionary
pachanga, n.
[pachanga (1955-44 _in_ the title of a song by Eduardo Davidson
(1929-44), Cuban composer ...]"

Is this a typo? I'm holding the recording in my hand and the title
_is_ "Pachanga." Or am I misunderstanding OED-ese, it being the case
that, logically, "Pachanga" *is* _in_ the title of the song.
