music & Lyrics
"Hot Fun in the Summertime" is a 1969 song recorded by Sly and the Family Stone. The single was released just prior to the band's high-profile performance at Woodstock, which greatly expanded their fanbase. The song peaked at number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, kept out of the number 1 spot by "I Can't Get Next to You" by the Temptations.[4] "Hot Fun in the Summertime" also peaked at number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Soul Singles chart in autumn 1969.[5] It is ranked as the seventh biggest U.S. hit of 1969,[6] and the 65th in Canada.
Rolling Stone ranked the song #247 on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and it has also been named in lists by Yahoo! Music and AskMen as an all-time "summer anthem."[7][8]
