There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight

"A Hot Time in the Old Town", poznata i po stihu There'll Be A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight (grubo prevedeno: "Bit će veselo večeras u starom gradu") je američka ragtime pjesma koju je 1896. komponirao Theodore August Metz a stihove napisao Joe Hayden. Tekst u kome se slavi zajednički život u malim američkim gradovima i zajednicama je pjesmi dao snažni patriotski naboj za vrijeme špansko-američkog rata i veliku popularnost među američkim trupama.^[1] Nakon toga se često izvodila, a kasnije je postala popularnom borbenom pjesmom sportskih timova raznih američkih koledža i univerziteta.
