We want to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you're qualified, are you gonna do it
Don't be so circumscribed, are you gonna do it
Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it
Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not
Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot til you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat til we fry
The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you won't be satisfied until you do it
Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot til you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat til we fry

Some like it hot, some like it hot

Some like it hot...some like it hot.

Robert Palmer
Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer and songwriter. He was known for his powerful, soulful voice and sartorial elegance, and his stylistic explorations, combining soul, funk, jazz, rock, pop, reggae, and blues. Over his four-decade career, Palmer is perhaps best known for the song "Addicted to Love" and its accompanying video, which came to "epitomise the glamour and excesses of the 1980s".
Having started in the music industry in the 1960s, including a spell with Vinegar Joe, he found success in the 1980s, both in his solo career and with The Power Station, scoring Top 10 hits in the United Kingdom and the United States. Three of his hit singles, including "Addicted to Love", featured music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan.
Palmer received a number of awards throughout his career, including two Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and an MTV Video Music Award. He was also nominated by the Brit Award for Best British Male Solo Artist. He died at age 54, following a heart attack.

Still enjoy it. Nay to the myopics on 80s tunes.

If you're going to play Robert Palmer, how 'bout soemthing that doesn't suck, like Sailing Shoes/Hey Hey Julia/Sneaking Sally Through the Alley with accompaniment by members of Little Feat.
History will show that both songs are classics. Just because this was a song from the 80s doesn't mean it is junk.

Actually, as noted earlier, it's Robert Palmer, Andy Taylor, John Taylor, and Tony Thompson (formerly, of Chic, which might explain how he got involved). Nile Rodgers produced it, I believe.

How about something off of Pride or Clues? Most folks have probably never heard either of them, but they were pretty progressive and experimental in their day, when tecno was new, and he was blending it with island sounds. What a tragic loss for all of us baby boomers, as well as those who may only now discover him...there is a lot more there besides Addicted to Love. : :(

*whew* So many artists I grew up listening to and reading about are now gone... I am feeling old.
