Spicy Hot!
by Teresa Jennings"Spicy Hot!" is a novelty song that will make you smile just from listening to it. It's perfect for classroom fun or in a performance. The lyrics extol the virtues of spicy hot food. The lines between the lyrics offer humorous commentary and the opportunity for some comedy.
The instrumental background on the recording is appropriately spicy, set in a Latin style. It includes rhythm section, winds, and lots of auxiliary percussion. You can add your own unpitched percussion to the groove, too. Cowbell, tambourine, shakers, guiro, samba whistle, agogo bells - anything that feels properly spicy would work. Let each player set up their own pattern. Add instruments one at a time, all at once, or mix and match. (from Music K-8, Vol. 13, No. 4)
