Bruh this is one of those songs that sounds like he wrote it in his sleep…. And in that category , this is lower in the list… definitely not top shelf of that category……

If Prince was making music like this in the 80's, none of us would've be here today and prince would have never been famous.

La la la, hee, hee, hee...

The playing on that is other worldly compared to Hot Summer.

Out of the songs of the album, it sounds like it belongs on 20ten. It is slight, but fun and catchy like some of the songs on 20ten.

I don't know how anyone could compare Hot Summer to La, La, La, He, He, Hee. That's like comparing Hansen's Mmm Bop to Mozart's Sonata No. 11.

I suppose the edit version of L,L,L,H,H,H might come across as slight. But the full length version has layers and layers of greatness. Once you hear the full thing you realize the edit is just the intro, slowly building into what ultimately becomes a funk masterpiece in the fully realized song.

or Shake.

I remember him doing Hot Summer as a bit of a call and response chant back in 2010. It was... eh... fine. Not exactly the highlight of the gig.

Damn, I hadn't thought of it but it kinda dores remind me of Shake. Which might explain why I don't like it much.

"Hot Summer" is a total earworm, and my ironic fascination with it actually turned into genuine enjoyment.

One of the very few good songs on the album. Uptempo and fun. Reminds me of the songs they used to play on the Saturday morning cartoons in the early to mid 1970s such as The Archies, Scooby Doo, and Jose and The Pussycats.

his worst attempt at being Pop since Dinner with Delores

If Morris Hayes didn't touched it, how more original Princy would it be ?

It's actually kind of a rip off of Cream, but that's cool.
