Description

Buster Poindexter (David Johansen) sings the hit Hot Hot Hot on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

Buster Poindexter, the alter ego of New York Dolls vocalist David Johansen, catapulted to fame with his rendition of the infectious tune “Hot Hot Hot.” Originally penned and recorded by Montserratian Soca artist Arrow in 1984, Poindexter’s cover became an enduring hit. The song’s lively rhythms and tropical flair swept listeners into a conga line frenzy, leaving them chanting “Hot Hot Hot” long after the music faded away.

The Smothers Brothers

The Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick, are one of the most iconic comedy duos in the history of television. Tom and Dick began performing as a duo in the late 1950s, playing in coffeehouses and clubs in San Francisco. Their act consisted of music, comedy, and witty banter, which quickly gained them a following.

The Smothers Brothers became a household name in the late 1960s with their variety show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. The show was groundbreaking in its approach to comedy, pushing the boundaries with political satire and social commentary. The show also featured up-and-coming musical acts, including The Doors and The Who, and introduced the world to comedians like Steve Martin and George Carlin.

The Smothers Brothers' irreverent style has made them a beloved and enduring force in American comedy.
