Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes! We continue our song-by-song review of The Rolling Stones' 1983 album, Undercover with a look at the album's second single, "She Was Hot".
Released in January of 1984, the song is a Chuck Berry-style rocker that takes the listener on a wild musical journey across the United States, detailing romantic encounters from New York to Detroit to the Bayou along the way. The accompanying video features the late Anita Morris sending the band into various states of lust and was deemed too suggestive for MTV (the band resubmitted a (slightly) toned down version for eventual broadcast). Somewhat forgotten after its initial release, the Stones revived the song for their live shows in the early 2000's and gave it a featured spot in Shine a Light, Martin Scorsese's 2008 documentary about the band.
We also discuss some of the history behind the song's creation, and review the single's B side, "Think I'm Going Mad".
