Donna Summer

Donna Summer was disco. When looking back to the late 1970s, there is no better representation of disco music than Donna Summer. Because of Summer's connection to disco music, she has also long been associated with the gay community and the feminism. Through her embrace of sexual liberation, Summer's characterized the shift that occurred because of second wave feminism. 

"Hot Stuff" 

The song "Hot Stuff" symbolizes the experimentation and freedom that the 1970s feminist movement embraced. Women now had to freedom to express their sexuality. This also embraces the idea of women and men having more than one causal, sexual partner. Prior to the feminist movement in the 1970s, women could not freely discuss their intimate lives; however, with songs such as "Hot Stuff" this shift towards openly discussing relationships has occurred.

Recent Cover of the song Featuring Donna Summer

Waitin' for some lover to call
Dialed about a thousand numbers lately
Almost rang the phone off the wall
I need some hot stuff, baby, tonight
I want some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta have some love tonight
Wanna share my love with a warm blooded lover
Wanna bring a wild man back home

Full Lyrics

Sittin' here eatin' my heart out waitin'
Waitin' for some lover to call
Dialed about a thousand numbers lately
Almost rang the phone off the wall

Lookin' for some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
I need some hot stuff, baby, tonight
I want some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta have some love tonight

Lookin' for a lover who needs another
Don't want another night on my own
Wanna share my love with a warm blooded lover
Wanna bring a wild man back home

Got to have some lovin'
Got to have love tonight
