I feel like I’ve crashed on the first lap, but I’m stuck on the Cure’s “Hot Hot Hot.”

Gotta get that out of my head and get back to it. Lol.

I was also thinking of the cure, but don’t think they would be described as post-punk necessarily. though they do fit that description in terms of when they began.

Ok, after today’s hint, I’m gonna go with Siouxsie and the Banshees’ “Cities in Dust.”

Specifically, this verse:

Hot and burning in your nostrils

Pouring down your gaping mouth

Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders

Caught in the throes…

This should be right in my wheelhouse, but I don't have a good guess. My first thought was PiL since they had some songs in the late 80s with a dance feel.

Same! I tried to get "Seattle" to work, but just couldn't make it make sense in my head.
