"Song of the Day"

March 24, 2025

"Hot 'n' Nasty" is the sixth single by English rock outfit Humble Pie.
Released in 1972, the song appears on their fifth studio album, Smokin'
and peaked at #52 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Stephen Stills
guests on "Hot 'n' Nasty" by adding his backing vocals that were
over-dubbed on the slow-burning and then dynamic R&B song, after he
strolled in after recording his own sessions in the studio next door.

Smokin' is the fifth studio album by English rock band Humble Pie,
released in March 1972 through A&M Records. It was the band's
international breakthrough, peaking at #6 on the US Billboard 200
album chart, and hit #20 in the United Kingdom. The album was
Humble Pie's first following the departure of guitarist
Peter Frampton, which placed singer and co-founder
Steve Marriott as the band's de facto leader.

Roll it Baby

Burnin' (Who that?)

Hot 'n' Nasty

Hey Joe, don't forget to shake it
While you're sleepin' on that bed
You know it really makes it
Look at me shake a leg, no.

I got my head in a cloud
I'm gonna stand up and shout
I wanna sing out loud
Oh, got to do it with the feelin'
Now you gonna hit the ceiling.

(Do you get the message?)
(Do you get the message?)
(Do you get the message?)
(Do you get the message yeah?)

Hey boogaloo, I really love you
Look what you've done to my head
Take all my time, take all my money
But most of all you take all my bed.

I got my head in a cloud
I wanna sing it loud
I'm gonna stand right here and shout
You got to do it with the feelin'
Well, you gonna hit the ceiling.

(Do you get the message?)
(Do you get the message?)
(Do you get the message?)
(Do you get the message yeah?)

Don't forget to shake that thing.

Do it with the feelin'
Then you gonna, then you gonna hit the ceiling
Hot 'n' nasty, hot 'n' nasty
It's hot 'n' nasty, so hot 'n' nasty...
