SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:14 Min.
This original pop-rock tune was recorded by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band for 1989’s Eddie & The Cruisers II film soundtrack. Cafferty handles actor Michael Paré’s on-screen vocals. The upbeat song is performed ‘in concert’ during the movie for a Canadian college gig by Eddie’s fictional new band.
REVIEW:
Exuding an ‘80s rock take on pop-swing jazz, “Some Like It Hot” comes off better than expected. In that sense, John Cafferty’s rollicking old-school dance hall answer to groups like The Brian Setzer Orchestra isn’t all that remarkable. Still, this tune’s energetic vibe is undeniably fun, making it one of Eddie II’s more entertaining tracks.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
