(1969)"Hot Fun in the Summertime" is a 1969 hit single recorded by Sly & the Family Stone. The single was released in the wake of the band's high-profile performance at Woodstock, which greatly expanded their fanbase. It reached #2 on the U.S. pop chart and #3 on the U.S. R&B chart. Thematically, "Hot Fun in the Summertime" is a dedication to the fun and games to be had during the summer, although it has also been analyzed as a commentary on the race riots of the late-1960s. "Hot Fun in the Summertime" was intended to be included on an in-progress album with "Everybody is a Star" and "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)"; the LP was never completed, and the three tracks were instead included on the band's 1970 "Greatest Hits" LP.
The B-side to this single is "Fun", a song taken from the group's third album ("Life") from 1968.
The track was covered by The Beach Boys on their commercially and critically disastrous 1992 album "Summer in Paradise." A video was made to accompany the song.
It was covered in 1982 with somewhat greater chart success by a funk outfit known as Dayton, and again in 1995 by The Manhattan Transfer featuring vocals by Chaka Khan.
Rolling Stone ranked it #247 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
