iPod Essentials #9: "Hot Fun in the Summertime"--Sly and the Family Stone

Even though parts of the U.S. are under feet of snow, and it is December, it may seem odd that I would select a summertime song to discuss today, but it somehow makes sense.

"Hot Fun" is the epitome of summertime tunes. Few artists blended such complex yet pop rhythms as Sly Stone. When I hear it, I feel as though it's ninety degrees outside.

Let's hope our friends in the Midwest can download this song. It will make them feel a little warmer...at least for two and a half minutes.
