BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988
“Hot Hot Hot!!!” was the fourth single released from the album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me by British band The Cure. In early 1988, it spent three weeks in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 45 on 20 February of that year. In the United States, the song reached number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100, while a remix of the track by François Kevorkian charted at numbers 11 and 50 on the Dance Music/Club Play Singles and the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales charts, respectively. It reached its highest chart position in Spain, peaking at number 8; the song was also a hit in Ireland, spending two weeks there and making number 18 on 18 February 1988. It spent three weeks on the Dutch charts, reaching number 79 there. As with many other singles, the video was directed by Tim Pope, and has been described as “intentionally ridiculous”. Filmed in black and white, it featured the band as “dwarves” dressed in 1950’s clothes.
