Hot
The Regrettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For some reason you still don't know that you're going to have to let this one go
You think you're such hot shit, and everybody wants some of it
For some reason you still don't know that you're going to have to let this one go
They say you're oh so fine, like I'm the only one that doesn't wanna make you mine
You must be oh so shocked because you'll never be the key to my lock
They say you're oh so fine, like I'm the only one that doesn't wanna make you mine
To those girls you're hot like a fire
You are their only desire
But to me you're nothin much
Because I know you're just a liar
To those girls you're hot like a fire
You are their only desire
But to me you're nothin much
Because I know you're just a liar
To those girls you're hot like a fire
You are their only desire
But to me you're nothin much
Because I know you're just a liar
You think you've got a chance, but you'll never have this dance
You better watch yourself go away find someone else
You think you've got a chance, but you'll never have this dance
You better watch yourself go away find someone else
To those girls you're hot like a fire
You are their only desire
But to me you're nothin much
Because I know you're just a liar
To those girls you're hot like a fire
You are their only desire
But to me you're nothin much
Because I know you're just a liar
To those girls you're hot like a fire
You are their only desire
But to me you're nothin much
Because I know you're just a liar
To those girls you're hot like a fire
You are their only desire
But to me you're nothin much
Because I know you're just a liar
The Regrettes' song "Hot" is a powerful message to someone who thinks they're superior to everyone else, including the person they're trying to pursue. The lyrics reveal the singer's resistance to being in a relationship with this person who is arrogant and thinks they're "hot shit." The repeated lines "you think you're such hot shit, and everybody wants some of it" emphasizes the point that this person is deluded and unaware of their own flaws. The singer is not interested in being another girl who is just another "desire" for this person. The lines "you must be oh so shocked because you'll never be the key to my lock" reassert the singer's independence and confidence in her own decision.
The singer suggests that the person trying to pursue them is a liar, and not worth their time. The repeated lines "you're nothin much because I know you're just a liar" suggest that the person has probably lied to pick up girls in the past and is just using the same tactics again. The singer's refusal to dance with this person reinforces the idea that she has no interest in being used or misled. Overall, the song is a strong statement against superficiality and arrogance in relationships.

I sent this video and also Seashore to my guitar-playing buddies, all in our late 60's - - we all thought this is great stuff! Love the way you guys play and sing, and so exciting to hear some cranked up energy and passion. Y'all want to be jumping around the living room to energetic music when you get old, right?

She's awesome. Legit rocker. Why can't this type of music be what's topping the charts these days? I realize, it's not good music that's dead, it's just that the mainstream audience likes shit.

Punk had its time in the sun. Perhaps in 20 years music will cycle back to it, who knows?
