She Was Hot
She Was Hot' is the second single from the band's 1983 album 'Undercover'.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the song is notable as both original Rolling Stones pianist Ian Stewart and his replacement Chuck Leavell perform on the recording [which first began in late 1982].
A memorable video was produced for the song, featuring actress Anita Morris who semi-comically tempts each member of the band. The video version includes the complete second verse ending with "Grab a cab, grab a cab, and baby, come right by".
The Rolling Stones resurrected 'She Was Hot' for the 2006 US leg of their 'A Bigger Bang' tour. A performance of the song was captured for the 2008 concert film and live album 'Shine A Light'.
Its B-side 'Think I'm Going Mad' was an 'Emotional Rescue' outtake, only available on this single.
The same artwork ['girl on a candle'] was used worldwide, except for North America which used a 'Monroe visage' designed PS.
The British limited shaped picture disc edition of 'She Was Hot' is famous for it was the first picture disc of the kind ever pressed.
Parallely to the 7" release, 12"s were pressed in Germany and USA but both contain the album standard track [an unofficial extended long version can be found on the internet though].

And I think I'm going mad
Life goes by so fast
Time whirls by so fast
You think I whine so
All the women come and go
Think I'm going madThink I'm going crazy
All the highs and lows don't mean a thing to me
Don't give a damn
This season that'll pass
Think will be my last
I know my mind's afloat
Sometimes I feel so young and sometimes I feel so old
Yeah you want to see, you want to see all the things
And I'm thinking, they say that your crazy
They say that your insane
I think.... and I think I'm going crazy
And I think I'm going mad
You ought to see my shaking hands
I think I've been drinking lots of cups of coffee
I think I've lost my head
I think I should be sacrificed
I think I should be put to rest
Save yourself
And I think I'm going mad
Think I'm going now
Think I'm going crazy

New York was cold and damp, TV is just a blank
Looks like another dead end Sunday
What about an early night? Monday never feels so bright
Ooh the sheets feel cold and lonely
Who wants to brave the pouring rain for a glass of French champagne?
Well, grab a cab, grab a cab and, baby, come right by
And she was hot as she kissed my mouth
She was hot as I wiped her brow
She was hot, she pinned me to the ground
She was quick, she knew her way around
She was hot and she tore my clothesShe was hot, she had no place to go
She was hot on a cold and rainy night
Detroit was smoky gray, nothing like the good old days
I've got a fever that I'm fighting
I don't need your company, leave me in my misery
I can take the rebound just like lightning
And she was hot in a '50s dress
She was hot, her lips were flashing red
I was lost in her burning flesh
I was hot, I was dripped in sweat
She was hot in the Detroit snow
She was hot, she had no place to go
She was hot on a cold and rainy night
And she was hot and I had the blues
She was hot - honey, where were you?
If you were in my shoes
You would be excused
She was hot, you can never wait
She was hot, never hesitate
She was hot on a cold and rainy night
I think I'm going off the rails riding down the pleasure trail
Always take the passion where you find it
Honey when you're young or fresh and you need the touch of flesh
Go take the treasure where you find it
And she was hot in the melted snow... She was hot in the molten glow
She was hot, she got it in the blood
She was hot like a dam that's burst
She was strong, she was strong and true
She was black and her eyes were blue
She was lost and she took a chance
She's just a brief romance
Down the avenue, into the lost bayou
Into the tall bamboo, into the human zoo
I wish you all the best, I hope we meet again
In a cold Chicago night
She was hot
She was hot, hot, hot

Following 'She Was Hot', a reissue of the original 1971 single 'Brown Sugar' [c/w 'Bitch'] was released almost worldwide [but North America] to promote the compilation album 'Rewind 71-84'. The single was dressed in a new picture sleeve [SUGAR 1] and also issued as a shaped picture disc, yet it did not make it to the charts.
