about

Debate has raged in contemporary circles for many years as to whether it is better to be "hot" or "cool". Hipsters - and those who can afford to casually play with time - prefer "cool". (Also drug related). Dave Graney opts for fire and heat on this controversial track. I Need To Be Hot.
Not TRENDY and certainly not COOL. Just HOT.
A bass sound straight out of a 70's reggae studio and clean guitar lines straight out of a televised marquee moon meet a swinging ride cymbal beat and a chorus of dive bombing electric guitar pick burns. And the lyric insistently states that the singer "needs to be hot - sorry to be so cold..."

lyrics

I need to be hot
sorry to be so cold
I need to be hot
you know
ttsssssssss!
I'm not talkin' about trendy
I'm not talkin' about cool
I can't afford to be cool
I need to be hot
hot
hot
you know
hot
tttsssss!
I need to be hot
get out of my way
What is my way?
toward the sun
not just the light
the fire!
I need to be hot
I need to be hot

I'm not talkin' about trendy
I'm not talkin' about cool
I can't afford to be cool
