“Red Hot” <\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n
The Friday Night Cat Fight takes on one of the most rockin’, hot burnin’ rockabilly sides of all-time, “Red Hot.”\u00a0 But the tune didn’t start out as a rockabilly barn burner.\u00a0 It began as a cheerleader’s chant “Our team is red hot,” which was turned into a mid-tempo R&B tune by its writer Billy “The Kid” Emerson.\u00a0 He cut his original for Sun Records in 1955, the same label that would issue Billy Riley’s immortal version in 1957.\u00a0 Also in ’57, the great Bob Luman cut a cover of “Red Hot” for Imperial Records.\u00a0 We round off this week’s competition with Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs 1966 stab at it, which went to #82 on the national charts.\u00a0 Then in 1977, Robert Gordon took the tune back 20 years to its rockabilly glory with his rendition, which hit #83 nationally. <\/span><\/h5>\n
So, which version of “Red Hot” is TRULY RED HOT?\u00a0 You decide.\u00a0 Listen to the Cat Fight Podcast and then vote for the one you dig the most in our online poll.<\/span><\/h5>\n
