Anyone heard Pitbull's new single "Free Free Free"? The chorus is a blatant copy of "Hot Hot Hot".

And another part of it sounds very familiar....just can't put my finger on what song it mimmicks...

From what I'm seeing, there are no claims that say it does not sound like Hot Hot Hot:

'We regret to inform you that Pitbull has once again been rifling through his Ultimate 80s Summer Hits playlist. This time the wheel of summertune stops on Arrow’s Hot Hot Hot (you know it, it’s the one that goes “hot hot hot”), except Pitbull changes “hot hot hot” to “free free free” so let this put to an end any debates that still rage over Pitbull’s genius.'
 
Most of his hits are just repackaged tunes. In a way it's brilliant... He somehow captures nostalgia as well as a short attention span at the exact same time. The formula is super simple: Familiar Melody or Pattern + Simple Lyrics = Hit Record
 
Just grabbed the video. Fun song and a really obvious infomercial for his annual Caribbean cruise and a brand of vodka. There's a rift or two that reminds me of Richie's "All Night Long" but other than that I consider a cover of Hot Hot Hot.
 
Doesn't have the same oomph I'm used to with Pitbull songs. I like it enough to buy it (cause I'll likely need it) but not my fav, for sure.

Somehow, I missed free.K from Pitbull a few years ago. Now THAT's a video I can get behind! (ahem) LOL

You missed it because it never got any traction with crowds. I think I played it once, and it flopped. And I never got asked for it, so I never tried it again.
