Hot Child in the City
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hot Child in the City" A pop - rock ode to teenage girls on the loose. It was recorded by Nick Gilder and it went to number one both in Canada (October 14, 1978 ) and in the United States (October 28, 1978). He won 2 Juno Awards in Canada and a People's Choice Award in the US.
After seeing young girls on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard, it inspired Gilder to write this song, he explained, "I've seen a lot of young girls walking down Hollywood Boulevard with their pimps. Their home environments drove them to distractions so they ran away, only to be trapped by something even worse. It hurts to see that, so I tried writing form the perspective of a lecher - under the guise of a little, innocent pop song."
