From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jam Hot (ACME Records, 1983) was the first single by New York City DJ Johnny Dynell. It became a cult classic and has been remixed and sampled many times over the years. In 1990 Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim and his group Beats International released "Dub Be Good to Me". The song features Johnny Dynell's signature "Jam Hot" rap, "tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty you're listening to the boy from the big bad city, this is Jam Hot, this is Jam Hot". The line became an instant classic and was repeated often, being used as the most common reference to the song. The song was a massive hit spending 4 weeks at number one on the UK singles chart in February 1990. It was the 7th best-selling single of 1990 in the UK.[1] In the U.S., the song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and #76 on the Billboard Hot 100. The term "Jam Hot" is now in The Urban Dictionary.
