in the heat of the night

The phrase 'in the heat of the night' is used to describe the headiness and escape that is afforded to us by cover of darkness. It is also the title of a song that opens the film and accompanying soundtrack with a slice of real, rural backwoods gospel. One of the key lines in the song is 'In the heat of the night/I'm feeling motherless somehow,' which clearly illustrates the main character's dilemma of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
