SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:10 Min.
From 1980’s Fame film soundtrack, Irene Cara performs this tune written by Michael Gore, Lesley Gore, & Robert F. Colesberry. The song is performed onscreen as an impromptu lunchtime jam session by students in the High School of Performing Arts’ cafeteria.
REVIEW:
Given the cafeteria-inspired lyrics, Irene Cara’s charismatic vocals somehow transform “Hot Lunch Jam” into a relatively catchy tune. In part, its up-tempo rock melody syncs well with Cara’s performance. Though it is the least memorable of Cara’s three solo tracks, this song retains an innocent charm.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
