Du'ers, I need your help to identify a song.

I heard it at my gym but couldn't hear well enough to make out most of it.

It was on a CD with other songs from the early 60's.

It kept using the phrase "red hot," as in:

"something something something red hot,"
Ditto,
Ditto.

It had a tempo like a Little Richard song, but it wasn't him.

Red Hot
Mötley Crüe
Lyrics
Fight for the black shark
See what evil brings
Can't you see we're out for blood
Love from a shotgun
License to kill
Can't you see we're out for blood
The kids scream in fright through the night
Loving every bit with delight
And we blow out our minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth
Red hot red hot
To the top we are
Red hot
Shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood
Songwriters: Mick Mars / Nikki Sixx / Vince Neil

covered by Red Hot Chili Peppers (of course), and I think Eric Clapton did it more recently.
