"The Kid Is Hot Tonite" is a song by Canadian rock group Loverboy. It was released in 1981 as the second and final single from their debut album Loverboy . The song is interpreted by some to be about up-and-coming fellow Canadian singer/guitarist Bryan Adams. While not as big a chart success as their debut single "Turn Me Loose", the song still reached number 20 in Canada and number 55 in the United States. [1]
Record World said the song has "winning guitar/synthesizer strains and a smashing chorus hook." [2]
