Lyrics
(written by Diane Warren and The Doctor)
Here in the night
There's a perfume in the air
You can almost smell the danger
Pressed in a crowd
You can feel the heat flow
In the touch of every stranger
We're out on the town
And it's action that we're after
Keep fannin' the flame
Just a little faster
chorus:
It's gonna be a hot night
We're gonna have a hot night tonight
It's gonna be a hot night
We won't get no sleep tonight
Too hot, it's too hot
The need in your eyes
Hits me to the heart
With a shot of stimulation
Come on with me
In a moment I will see
Such a burnin' fascination
chorus#2:
No stopping it now
We got to stay in motion
We're two-foot of fire
Two-foot of emotion
chorus x2
chorus#2
chorus x3
[fade out]

Music Video
Although not officially a music video, this is the closest thing to one that there is. Laura played Jessie Cole in the Automan episode "Murder MTV" which aired on ABC on Monday March 12, 1984. As part of her role in the episode she got to sing "Hot Night" with Automan himself on guitar. Since the song was pre-recorded, with her lip-syncing to it, this isn't technically a live performance. Hence, I consider it a music video. The song is played for 2:52, with some show dialogue over the end of it, so only 30 seconds of the song is not used in the show. Unfortunately, this short-lived television series is not available on DVD.
