"They're Red Hot" is a song originally performed and written by blues musician Robert Johnson. Notably, it is one of very few songs recorded by the bluesman that is not based around twelve bar blues. It is based on a common ragtime chord progression. Unlike some other Johnson songs, only one recording of this song exists.

It was also performed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their 1991 album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik". The band reportedly recorded this song outside of The Mansion on top of a hill at two in the morning.

The song has also been covered by Eric Clapton, featured on his 2004 homage to Johnson, "Me and Mr. Johnson". American jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson recorded her own version on her album "Belly of the Sun". However, the song appeared under the title "Hot Tamales". Richie Kotzen has his version of this song on his "Bipolar Blues" album. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain performs a version of this song on their DVD "Anarchy in the Ukulele" under the title, "Hot Tamales, They're Red Hot".
