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

Track six on [*MÖB*](/albums/mob/), body-weather comedy after [*Sunlight*](/songs/sunlight/) chose the sun and before [*Underwater*](/songs/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*](/songs/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*](/songs/tired-of-the-sunshine/) when light becomes burden.
