Metz was the band leader of the McIntyre and Heath Minstrels. OriginsOne history of the song reports: "While on tour with the McIntyre and Heath Minstrels, their train arrived at a place called 'Old Town'. From their train window, [Metz] could see a group of children starting a fire, near the tracks. One of the other minstrels remarked that 'there'll be a hot time in the old town tonight'. Metz noted the remark on a scrap of paper, intending to write a march with that motif. He did indeed write the march the very next day. It was then used by the McIntyre and Heath Minstrels in their Street parades."[1] An alternative suggestion is that Metz first heard the tune played in about 1893 at Babe Connor's brothel, known as the Castle, in St Louis, Missouri, where it was one of the songs performed by the entertainer known as Mama Lou (or Mammy Lou), with pianist Tom Turpin.{{cn|date=February 2019}} And yet one more version is Metz and his Minstrels were in Hot Springs, SD, where Joe Hayden worked at the Evans Hotel. Hayden had the song from his "growing up" days in New Orleans, and he and Metz sat down and wrote the first version of "Hot Time" for a re-dedication ceremony for the local Chautauqua Park and Entertainment Center. The tale is part of the 2015 book And The Wind Whispered.{{cn|date=February 2019}} According to a 1930s newspaper report, Mama Lou's original lyrics went: "Late last night about ten o'clock / I knocked at the door and the door was locked / I peeked through the blinds, thought my baby was dead / There was another man in the folding bed....".[2] Metz heard the tune, copyrighted the music in his own name, and had it incorporated into a minstrel show, Tuxedo Girls, with revised lyrics.[3][4] The dialect and narrative of the song imitate those of African-American revival meetings.[5] In popular cultureFilms and musicals
MilitaryThe song was a favorite of the American military's around the start of the 20th century, particularly during the Spanish–American War and the Boxer Rebellion.[7] The tune became popular in the military after it was used as a theme by Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders.[8][9] MusicBing Crosby included the song in a medley on his album Join Bing and Sing Along (1959).

At all events, the frolicsome tones of this unpretentious popular song are the most intimately associated of any, with the already dimming recollections of that 'whirlwind campaign'." 8. ^{{cite book|author=Tucker, Spencer C.
