HOT NUTS
The signature song by Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts was “Hot Nuts”, with a chorus that went: “Nuts / Hot nuts / You get them from the peanut man / Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah / Nuts / Hot nuts / You get them any way you can.” Between the choruses are couplets typically about women they have known (sample: “See that girl all dressed in pink / She’s the one who made my finger stink”), and the band had an endless supply of lyrics that could make any word seem dirty. Even though there is nothing particularly offensive about their name, the Hot Nuts, their appearances were usually advertised on the radio as simply “Doug Clark”.
