Song by Robert Johnson |
"They're Red Hot" is a song originally performed and written by blues musician Robert Johnson. Notably, it is one of very few songs recorded by the bluesman that is not based around Twelve Bar Blues. It is based on a common ragtime chord progression. Unlike some other Johnson songs, only one recording of this song exists.
It was also performed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. The song was also covered by Eric Clapton, featured on his 2004 homage to Johnson, Me and Mr. Johnson. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain have also regularly performed a live version of this song.
