Or, like saying "that chick is pretty ugly".

Dig it, cats...

a little faulty in their music, but still good memories for me! there are better songs than this on the album....

and people say that Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat Song is silly....

pointless noise. why don't they Zip their squirrel nut mouths?

Sure - haven't you ever known an ugly hot chick? She's the one that isn't all that physically attractive, but she's just so damn cool that she's hot anyway. I've dated a couple - they make very high quality, low maintenance girlfriends.

SNZ have taken a bunch of very derivative elements and come up with something thoroughly original. And timely, too, if you ask me - right about the time Hot came out, it was just the right thing. Clearly that's born out in the way their popularity skyrocketed at the time.

For my part, I'm totally psyched to hear SNZ on RP any time, and this entire album is excellent!

haha.. see the post below.
and to add to that.. you think they are original? are you serious? man... not worth my time.

Derivatively original? Is that even possible? That's kinda like saying "I really like that ugly hot chick."

Derivative adj.-Copied or adapted from others.

Original adj Not derived from others. Fresh and unusual.

Not making fun here...just confused. (scratches head)

TAP TAP TAP

Fun!

I just can't help but adore these derivatively original whackballs.

The SNZ are just pure fun!">

Lack time to list its faults!

It's on the soundtrack for "A Life Less Ordinary" I think as well

Well. . . one usually shakes the vodka in solid cubes of ice to get it as cold as possible and then strain it into the glass with no ice. The glass however should be cold and only the merest hint of Martini or other enhancement - only enough to coat the glass.

A swizzle is not for this drink. . . ever.

Ah, the official Port-A-John theme song. ;-)

Novelty, yes, but good novelty. Quite likeable (and catchy).

and my favorite bar has my favorite martini (what I call the Mugro, of course, made with Grey Goose mandarin vodka and a splash of Gran Marnier, and a slice of orange as garnish, shaken not stirred and ice cold!),

"...Minnie...the Mooch-ah!"

I don't care what the "in thing" is. I know that I like swing and I like Martinis, so as long as my favorite station (RP of course!) has the swing, and my favorite bar has my favorite martini (what I call the Mugro, of course, made with Grey Goose mandarin vodka and a splash of Gran Marnier, and a slice of orange as garnish, shaken not stirred and ice cold!), then I could care less what everyone else thinks.

Gotta love a little SNZ!

Sadly, yes. The term "novelty act" is wrongly slapped on many multi-talented groups whose music may be jokey and eccentric.

these people are WAY too funny.....

This song was used to great effect in Contact, the Susan Stroman Broadway musical. When heard with the incredibly sexy, sensual and beautiful dancing of that show, the music was absolutely perfect.

Historically significant perhaps, but nothing that conjures up musical paradise to me. An early cartoon, perhaps. Dancing cigarettes and such nonsense.
