Music video There were two music videos made for the single `` Hot in Herre '', one set in a dance club, and an alternative one shot at the St. Louis Arch. The alternative video was played on MTV Europe instead of the official one. The original video features cameo appearances by actor and comedian Cedric the Entertainer, NBA player Carmelo Anthony, and NFL players T.J. Duckett and Julius Peppers. One scene of the music video features Nelly and the club goers shouting the chorus for `` The Roof Is on Fire '' while there 's a fire actually burning in the club. Other versions `` Hot in Herre '' has been remade by the following artists : Canadian electronic artist Tiga, who remade `` Hot in Herre '' with Scissor Sisters lead singer Jake Shears on vocals, giving it a more monotone, electro feel ( this reached number 46 in the UK ). A music video was created for Tiga 's version of the song which aired in heavy rotation. The video starred puppets depicting cliche scenes from hip hop videos of the era. Widespread Panic, whose arrangement was included on their album Jackassolantern and was featured on an episode of The O.C.. Jenny Owen Youngs, whose version also had an accompanying video. The BossHoss recorded the song. In the live version of `` Jocko Homo '' on Devo 's album DEVOlution is Real : Live in Central Park, Mark Mothersbaugh briefly sings the chorus of `` Hot in Herre '' before the song 's `` O - HI - O '' breakdown. Jill Sobule did the song acoustically at a live performance in Seattle with Melissa Ferrick. Wang Chung performed the song on the television show Hit Me, Baby, One More Time. The song was parodied as `` Trash Day '' by `` Weird Al '' Yankovic on the album Poodle Hat, replacing the chorus with `` There 's somethin ' rotten here, ( say what ? ) you better hold your nose. '' The song was parodied by Mad TV in a sketch satirizing the controversy surrounding the Catholic Church and young boys.
