INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY.
A pair of radio professionals are standing outside the recording booth sipping iced coffee. An athletic young man is waiting patiently in front of the microphone inside the booth.
CONNOR, THE INTERN: So…what did you say his name was, again?
PRODUCER: Victor Cruz.
CONNOR: Are you SURE it’s not Odell Beckham, Jr.?
PRODUCER: Yes. I am very sure. That was really embarrassing, by the way.
CONNOR: It was an honest mistake. YOU were the one who said he was a hot young receiver for the Giants.
PRODUCER: Yes, well that was an honest mistake too. How was I supposed to know he was exiled to the Bears?
CONNOR: I dunno, maybe pay attention to NFL news?
PRODUCER: Ugh, it’s too hot to pay attention to the news. Are we ready?
CONNOR: Yeah, we’re ready.
PRODUCER: [punches talkback button] Okay, Vic, we’re ready to go here. All set?
VICTOR CRUZ: Sure thing.
The PRODUCER counts down using hand signals.
VICTOR CRUZ: Hey folks! I’m Victor Cruz, here to host this week’s Request Line. Some of you might remember me as the Giants’ leading receiver during the 2011 season, when we won the Super Bowl over the New England Patriots. Others might remember me for…um…turning down a chance to display my signature touchdown salsa dance on television’s Dancing With the Stars. I’m also known for…oops, my producer here is telling me to get things moving…[the PRODUCER is decidedly not making any kind of signal that would suggest this]…so let’s start the show. As you folks undoubtedly know, I like things SPICY. So today’s theme is: things that are HOT. Hot food, hot women, hot salsa, hot weather…you say the name, you know I’m game. I’ll get us started with a classic from the Lovin’ Spoonful.

Music videos really have come a long way since the 80’s, but I always appreciate randomly lighting your instruments on fire.

It’s a really underrated aesthetic.

And now for my favorite music video. The only way it could be better is if they cut out the 2 seconds of Michael Moore’s dumb face.

Why yes, I did just get distracted for the last twenty minutes watching both heist scenes from Heat.
Just the heist scenes?
Is it on a streaming site? My downloading is busy with all of Angel because Netflix is an asshole.
Nah, just youtube.
I got distracted checking my you tube music list. Nothing related to the list

Summer is hot. Norah Jones is also hot.

Love that flick.
I went with this cause it fit the theme best, but there’s a LOT of good music on that soundtrack/score.
And if you ever want to hear some of the best sound design ever, man, that armored car heist scene…
Here comes a TRIPLE shot of Fever, starting with the unconventional:

The riot inside moves on with a Cornell DOUBLE SHOT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1mexmK6bDY
OK last one. Strong candidate for best salsa number ever: Richie Ray (piano) & Bobby Cruz (mic) – Sonido bestial (Beastly Sound). Which prompted many of us to ask “Who da fuk is this Stravinski fella?”

Per the rules of the theme, making it a Jimi DOUBLE SHOT

Ooh, that’s a clever twist on the theme!
I have my clever moments.
But not often.
I’m presuming that just mass posting Red Hot Chili Peppers over and over would eventually be frowned upon.
So I won’t. Probably.
