“When I come to Trenton, I’ll be doing the slower Dolls songs,” Johansen said.
That prompted his solo shows where he’ll deliver Doll cuts that the group rarely performs. Johansen doesn’t sing all of them with the Dolls. “I really just expected to do one show and that was it, but apparently there is a demand for it and we’ve had a great time being the Dolls again. The recent run by the Dolls has been particularly gratifying for Johansen. You’ll find Bill Murray in the video, and you’ll find David Johansen returning the favor, by appearing in the fun 1988 Bill Murray film, SCROOGED, in which David plays the Ghost Of Christmas Past.“I’ve had my hand in many different styles of music and it’s all been great,” Johansen said. I’ll show ya.” And then he goes into the song. “I’m playing music that’s so soft and sweet, I mean, you can sit by the fireplace and listen to it, have a little glass of wine, maybe you could even have dinner to this music. The song’s popular music video (nominated for an MTV Video Music Award) features Buster talking about his work with the New York Dolls, showing off their albums, and promptly tossing them away while he goes off on the “really outrageous clothes” he wore while with the Dolls, and how he became interested in this “refined and dignified kind of situation. Are YOU feeling hot, hot, hot? Zoinks yo.įor years, “Hot Hot Hot” was, well, a hot, hot, hot song to play at wedding receptions (I should know, I was DJing wedding receptions on a regular basis during that time), and at karaoke bars. NERDY SONG FACT: In that 12” remix of “Hot Hot Hot,” Buster Poindexter says the word “hot” 137 times. A remix of Buster’s “Hot Hot Hot” would reach No. Also “hot” on the chart that week, “Hot Thing” by Prince (from the brilliant SIGN “O” THE TIMES). NERDY CHART FACT: On the BILLBOARD Hot 100 chart dated March 5, 1988, the last week on the chart for Buster Poindexter’s “Hot Hot Hot,” The Cure debuted with their own (unrelated) “Hot Hot Hot!!!” (from their excellent double album, KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME). It would be his only time on the Hot 100, either as Buster Poindexter, or with the New York Dolls. In mid-February 1988, it just missed reaching the Top 40, spending a week at No. Nearly six months after the release of the single, “Hot Hot Hot” finally debuted on the BILLBOARD Hot 100 a couple of weeks before Christmas 1987, at No. It was a cover version of a song originally recorded by the late Calypso and Soca musician out of Montserrat, West Indies, with the stage name Arrow, who released the song in 1984. One of the album’s songs, “Hot Hot Hot,” was released as a single. Together, they played a mix of Jazz, Calypso and other novelty-related songs. For his self-titled debut album, he was joined by his Banshees Of Blue, which was the pseudonym for The Uptown Horns. Then ten years removed from the New York Dolls, David recorded the first of four albums under the pseudonym of Buster Poindexter. In 1987, Buster Poindexter, the alter-ego of David Johansen, singer / songwriter for 70s Glam Punk Rockers, New York Dolls, also thought it was hot. There are some summers Maine doesn’t even see 90 degrees! Back here in Central Maine, the temperature rose up to the low 90s, which is the hottest it’s been here in a long while, and I think the earliest 90-degree reading in history. In contrast, Miami, Florida was expected to have a high temperature of 85 degrees today. They didn’t see any snow today they were expected to have a high temperature of 84 degrees. O Lord! Earlier this week, Rangeley, Maine – located in the mountains of Western Maine (about 2 hours NW of where I’m writing this in Central Maine) – picked up 2 inches of snow.
