New Featured Unknown/Underrated Song--"The Kid Is Hot Tonite" by Loverboy

We recognize this as a great song today, but back when it was the second single for this rock group from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, it only reached #55.  Loverboy was one of the top groups of the 1980's, though they were very unappreciated on the charts.  Hint:  We'll be featuring several other of their songs in this feature of the site.

"The Kid Is Hot Tonite"

by Loverboy

Words and Music by Bernie Aubin and Paul Dean

We just heard of a brand new wave
And we hope it's here to stay
Well have to wait and see
If it's half of what they say

We heard he opened up a brand new door
Well you know that's what Im 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?

CHORUS:
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 it's gonna drive you mad
Well have to wait and see if it's the best you ever had

And we just heard of a brand new wave
We heard it's headin for an early grave
Well have to wait and see if there's anything we can save

(repeat chorus)
