“Hot Hot Hot” began as a soca song written and recorded by Montserratian musician Arrow in 1982. Its repeated “feeling hot, hot, hot” chorus became internationally familiar through party play, covers, and sporting celebrations; Buster Poindexter released a prominent cover in 1987. Online, the refrain remains useful because its meaning is immediate even without context. Creators regularly apply it to heat waves, vacations, dancing, spicy meals, workouts, and humorous reactions to anything described as hot.
