Lyrics

It's too hot outside
Oh, it's too hot outside
Oh, it's too hot outside, ah
Oo, it's too hot outside
Oh, it's too hot outside, uh
Said, it's too hot outside
Oh, it's too hot outside

Break into a hotel pool
With a swim-up bar
But they caught me in 4K
Put an ice bucket near my fan
But they melting
In the heat of the midday
Am I okay?
Can I afford to see a movie?
No

Driving down to the coast
Arm out my window
Sipping on a bana-na0na smoothie
Wanna find a brain freeze, overheat
Molten-leather car seat
Got a broken AC
Oh, lucky me, me, me

Oo, it's too hot outside
Oo, it's too hot outside
Oo, it's too hot outside
Oo, it's too hot outside
Oo, it's too hot

Too hot hot
Too hot
Too hot hot
Too hot
(It's too hot)
Too hot hot
Too hot

Driving down to the coast
Arm out my window
Sipping on a bana-na0na smoothie
Wanna find a brain freeze, overheat
Molten-leather car seat
Got a broken AC
Oh, lucky me, me, me

Oo, it's too hot outside
Oo, it's too hot outside
Oo, it's too hot outside
Oo, it's too hot outside
Oo, it's too hot

Too hot hot
Too hot
(Oo it's too hot)
Too hot hot
Too hot (rah)
Too hot hot
Too hot
(It's too hot)
Too hot hot
Too hot
(Oo it's too)
Hot

Content

Track six on MÖB, body-weather comedy after Sunlight chose the sun and before Underwater goes heavy. The hook is the whole weather report: too hot outside, stacked until it's ambient fact.

Underneath are survival bits with a money problem inside them. Break into a hotel pool, get caught in 4K, set an ice bucket by the fan but they melting, and ask can I afford to see a movie? (No.) The same verse comes back twice because the day doesn't change: arm out the window, molten-leather car seat, broken AC, oh lucky me.

Where Stories names rising temperature alongside elections and family fracture, TOO HOT is the personal-scale version: not a policy essay, just sweat on the seat. Pairs with Tired of the Sunshine when light becomes burden.
