Trivia

Although the song title is "My Red Hot Car", the actual vocal sample in the track says "I'm going to fuck you with my red hot cock". This can be heard more clearly in the "(Girl)" version of the track. The title was supposedly changed for censorship reasons.^{[citation needed]}

Samples: Drum breaks used in the track include Jimmy McGriff – "The Worm", The Winstons – "Amen, Brother" and Lyn Collins – "Think (About It)".

Song usage

Miss Kittin used "My Red Hot Car" on her mix album A Bugged Out Mix.^[2]

It's also played during a scene in the film Any Way The Wind Blows.
