"Hot Tub! HAIIII!"

I join the music-loving world in mourning Soul Brother No. 1, the hardest working man in show business, Mr. Dynamite and the Godfather of Soul, and for a personal reason. Deb and I used to do impressions of "James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub" whenever we'd stay at a Disney World resort, because we knew we were going to be hitting the hot tub.

"We gonna get in the hot tub?" I'd start off.
"Yeah!" she'd reply
"Is it gonna make us sweat?"
"Yeah!"
"We gonna get in the hot tub?"
"Yeah!"
"Are we gonna get wet?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, well, well ..."
Then she'd let out her best "HAIIIII!"

Here's the original. You can keep your "'BLEEP' in a Box": This is the funniest thing ever on SNL.

James Brown, RIP
