DOUG CLARK'S HOT NUTS
 
 

Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts,  also known as Doug Clark and his Hot Nuts, The Hot Nuts and, since the death of Doug Clark in 2002, Doug Clark’s Hot Nuts, is a rhythm and blues, rock and novelty band that has played party and club dates for more than fifty years.  Starting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, they became famous on the college circuit in the southeastern United States in the early 1960s for their risqué song lyrics and jokes, and for allegedly performing in various states of undress.  Their signature song was “Hot Nuts”.  Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts influenced contemporary artists such as Too Short, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Toy Tiger.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
It is fair to say that Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts are a North Carolina institution. With original bandleader Doug Clark’s death in 2002, the band is now known as Doug Clark’s Hot Nuts.
