Tom Breihan's columns are generally great, but his Hot in Herre one is particular good.

“Hot In Herre” is an obvious summer record, and I have to imagine that it was conceived as an obvious summer record. It achieved that goal. I’m not sure I can properly convey how omnipresent “Hot In Herre” was in the summer of 2002. If you were partying anywhere that summer, you were hearing “Hot In Herre” five times a night. I wasn’t even going to clubs like that; I was going to, like, warehouse noise shows. At the warehouse noise shows, in between bands, they would play “Hot In Herre.” (Is that a Baltimore thing? I hope not. I hope it’s an everywhere thing. If it’s not, every other warehouse noise scene missed out.) When “Hot In Herre” came out, both Nelly and production team the Neptunes had ridiculous momentum, and anything that they did would’ve probably been huge. But “Hot In Herre” was the right record at the right moment, and I knew it was a smash the first time I heard it. This wasn’t some great feat of prognostication on my part. Everyone knew it.

If you can survive the truly terrible Stereogum UI and get to the end there's a link to a hilariously awkward video of Nelly performing the track with Taylor Swift and Haim.

The first time I heard Hot in Herre, by talented (?) Missouri artist Nelly, I think I said "This is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard in my life," but by golly, every time I hear someone say the words "it's getting hot in here" I have to resist completing the line. That's the start of a conversation with HR you don't wanna have.
