Too Darn Hot

Too Darn Hot

"Too Darn Hot" is a popular song written by Cole Porter for his musical "Kiss Me, Kate" (1948).

The song gained new currency in 2004 because of two films that came out that year. The first was the Porter biopic "De-Lovely", and the second was the movie "Kinsey", which used the tune because Porter mentioned the Kinsey report on American sexual attitudes in the song's bridge.

The line was censored in the 1953 MGM film of Kiss Me, Kate, which changed it to 'According to the latest report'.

In Ella Fitzgerald's recording on her album "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook" (1956).
