Singer/Actor David Johansen apologized publicly today for the existence of his one-time alter ego 'Buster Poindexter' and the song he recorded as Poindexter, 'Hot Hot Hot'.
"I really can't begin to say how sorry I am for that kidney stone of a song," a visibly shaken Johansen began from a prepared statement. "For all the weddings, parties, vacations, cruises and holidays I've ruined because of that song, I can only offer a heartfelt apology. I ask that any and all people in possession of a copy of that song — be it on tape, LP, or CD — destroy their copies as soon as is reasonably possible. I'm really begging you here, people — I can't bear the weight of this humiliation any longer, knowing that song is still out there. Do it for all of us."
The song, which contains the powerfully contemptible "I'm hot/ you're hot/ he's hot/ she's hot" sung with a repetition bordering on the satanic, has been a favorite of drunken morons, overweight paralegals, tone-deaf homosexuals and most Germans and has sat at or near the top of hundreds of music critics' "Worst Songs of All Time" lists.
"I say a mere apology is not enough," opined University of Wisconsin senior Tip Triptick, editor of the independent music magazine, Scorn, as well as programming director for the university radio station, "His actions deserve nothing short of violent reprisal. A kneecapping or nut-punching. Something permanent and severe."
