Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we hope its here to stay
Well have to wait and see
If its half of what they say
We heard he opened up a brand new door
Well you know that's what I'm lookin' for
Well have to wait and see if it makes you shout for more
How do you like him so far?
How do you like his show?
How do you like the way he rocks and the way he rolls?
How do you like his image?
How do you like his style?
How do you like the way he looks and the way he smiles?
The Kid is hot tonight
Whoa so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow?
The kid, is hot tonight
Whoa so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow
And we just heard of a brand new fad
And they say its gonna drive you mad
Well have to wait and see if its the best you ever had
And we just heard of a brand new wave
He heard its headin' for an early grave
Well have to wait and see if there's anything we can save
How do you like him so far?
How do you like his show?
How do you like the way he rocks and the way he rolls?
How do you like his image?
How do you like his style?
How do you like the way he looks and the way he smiles?
The kid is hot tonight
Whoa so hot tonight
But tell me where will he be tomorrow
The kid is hot tonight
Whoa so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow
The kid is hot tonight
Whoa so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow?
The kid is hot tonight
Whoa so hot tonight
But where will he be, but where will he be
The kid is hot tonight
Whoa so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow?
The kid is hot tonight
Whoa so hot tonight
The song "The Kid is Hot Tonite" by Loverboy was released in 1980 as their debut single. The lyrics talk about a new wave or fad in the music industry and how people are excited to see if it is going to be successful. They mention a new artist who has opened a brand new door and is causing a buzz, and the listener is asked how they feel about his show, image, and style. The chorus repeats the phrase "The Kid is hot tonight" and questions where he will be tomorrow. This indicates the fleeting nature of fame and success in the entertainment industry.
The song expresses the excitement and uncertainty that often come with new cultural waves or fads in popular music. It speaks to the desire of the listeners and the industry to find the next big thing and make it a success. The lyrics also address the transitory nature of fame, with the unknown future of the new wave and the artist causing excitement today, but potentially fading away tomorrow.
Overall, the song is an anthem for the music industry and its tendency to latch onto new trends and artists, while recognizing that not all of them will last or be successful in the long term.

โ@J CIf you were able to go back to the 80s as you are now, you wouldn't enjoy it. We've gotten used to all of our modern conveniences, which you wouldn't have in the 80s. What we all REALLY want is our youth back....and our hair.
Jeffrey Pedersen
In my opinion, this is Loverboy's greatest hit!
