Buster Poindexter & His Banshees of Blue was a musical project fronted by David Johansen, formerly of the New York Dolls, under the alter ego Buster Poindexter. The group, which came into prominence during the 1980s, was renowned for its fusion of lounge music, calypso, and big-band jazz. Their most well-known hit was the cover of Arrow's "Hot Hot Hot", which became synonymous with Poindexter's suave persona and the band's lively, tropical sound. The band’s unique style brought a fresh wave to the music scene, carving a niche in popular culture.
