1 25 Hot Hot Hot RESOURCES P CD2 track 2 (perormance) and 24 (backing) Inormation This calypso tune is an ideal show-closer and crowdpleaser. A avourite o wedding bands and ootballers everywhere, it was a hit or Alphonsus Cassell (aka Arrow), as well as or the singer David Johansen in his Buster Poindexter persona. It s a high-energy song all about celebrating! Starting Warm up the body to a calypso beat, perhaps using the backing track. Start with the shoulders, rolling them back and orth, then let shoulders and arms bounce. Rotate wrists and shake out hands. Now turn the upper body rom side to side, then rotate your knees, alternating rom let to right. Finally, standing on tiptoe, stretch high with arms above the head, then lop down like a rag doll and slowly roll downward until your upper body is as ar down as it will comortably go. Hold and relax. Then slowly roll upward and shake it all out. Clap the rhythm o Hot hot hot against a stamped crotchet/quarter-note pulse (approx. a = 20). Try clapping only two out o the three notes: the irst then the last; the irst then the second; or the second then the third. Establish a bright, energized vocal tone on a single note, and sing Hot hot hot in rhythm keep it tight and clean. Divide into three or our groups. Starting at about a = 87, and working up to a = 20, build up this drum-kit exercise part by part. 4. Shaker or hi-hat. shih k tih k etc. 4. Tom-toms t. t.. k dn k dn dn 4. Hand claps r r. Foot stomps Now, using call and response, chant the lyrics o bars 54 6 over this backing. Teaching and rehearsing Start by setting a party mood! Have some o your group perorm the drum-kit exercise above, and teach bars 54 6 call and response style. Teach the opening olé s in the same ashion, building part by part. Speak bars Once the rhythm is solid, teach the notes or each part separately then sing it together. Sing in a bright belt with minimal vibrato to create an island sound. Next, speak bars 25 9, with the upper and lower parts as separate groups. Then teach the notes or each part separately as beore, and sing it together. Teach bars and 66 end in the same ashion. Give the triplets (bar 66 onwards) a stretched eel to keep them rom becoming too short. You might want to try singing with a Caribbean accent. For ideas, listen to the recordings suggested below, or to the CD demo. Add in bars 46 6, learnt earlier, and sing the whole piece. Ideas Get perormance ideas by listening to the original recording by Arrow, as well as the amous version by Buster Poindexter. Although basically the same song perormed in the same style, David Johansen puts on a character Buster Poindexter whereas Arrow is simply being himsel. What similarities or dierences do you notice? What could you incorporate into your perormance? Invite your group to party during the instrumental sections: shout, dance, and maybe even start a conga-line! Listen to the CD or ideas. Listen out Check that the song doesn t rush, and ensure that the rhythm and words are clean and precise e.g. in bars 20 (and similar), 22 3, 33, and Be wary o over-singing. Your singers should aim to achieve an energetic party vibe by maintaining a precise and punchy sound rather than shouting, which can damage the voice and aect blend and precision. Perhaps ask singers to check their voices or any pain or hoarseness during or immediately ater rehearsal. Listen or any louder, more conident voices sticking out. Perorming Create a party spirit! Maybe even parade your conga-line through the audience and invite them to join in! Hot Hot Hot
