Re: Listen to full version of Got The Hot's on Youtube!
Got the Hots sounds like it was written as he was coming out of his "Off the Wall" phase. It could easily be a B-side to a song from that album.
That said, it's easily the weakest out of the otherwise amazing bunch of Thriller outtakes leaked so far (Nite Line, Hot Street, Carousel, etc). It's fairly obvious why it was left off the album. However, there is some killer potential buried in this otherwise dated and unpolished song. The lyrics are pure early-MJ, some of his delivery is amazing ("ROCK it, BaaaBAAAY". Sends me off the edge every time), and the chorus is perfect.
Worth it for the MJ completist, but one of his more underwhelming outtakes.
But hot DAMN if it isn't catchy. There's some hot stuff in here.
