Actually, it was a reference to Spade Cooley, renowned in the 1940's and early '50's as the "King of Western Swing." The point was, Cooley's music was incompatible with the mambo, and Norton was actually referring to his and Ralph's losing the "National Raccoon Mambo Championship" because of the music switch. You can find out more about Mr. Cooley, his career, and his rise and fall, here.
