Hot Dog!
[Disney] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Now we got ears, it's time for cheers
Hot dog, hot dog, the problem's solved
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Grab my boots and a sandwich
Get the coconut drum kit
For Daisy to play
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
We're taking off, we're dancing now
Hot dog, leapfrog and holy cow
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
It's a brand new day, whatcha waiting for?
Get up, stretch out, stomp on the floor
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
We're splitting the scene, we're full of beans
So long for now from Mickey Mouse
And the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
The song Hot Dog! is the opening theme for Disney's children's television show, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. The lyrics of the song have multiple interpretations, but mainly it's a fun, catchy tune that welcomes the viewers to watch the show. The first verse, "Hot dog, oh no, hot dog," may represent the show's theme of problem-solving for kids. It's like saying, "Oh no, there's a problem, but don't worry, we'll find a solution!" Then, the chorus "Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog" sets a positive and upbeat tone for the song, inviting everybody to join in the fun.
The next verse, "Now we got ears, it's time for cheers," implies that the viewers now have Mickey Mouse ears, and so do the characters in the show. The line "the problem's solved" could mean that the characters have solved the problem and can now celebrate. The other verses talk about getting ready for a parade, playing instruments, and dancing. The last verse, "It's a brand new day, whatcha waiting for?" encourages viewers to start their day with energy, positive vibes, and an eagerness to learn and explore.

Great video, production and presentation. Your choices are perfect. I love your inclusion of Billy's on 93rd and CPW. Billy is a terrific person and his product is tip-top. You basically have to bore a hole in his hand for him to accept a tip.
I'm pretty much a mustard and sauerkraut guy, but that Shake Shack Shack-ago dog is compelling. I live way too close to there.
Gray's Papaya is a staple and superb. You had their "Recession Special", which is a bargain for $6.45.
I'm so happy that you didn't include Papaya King...perhaps because they moved across Third Avenue and are renovating. It used to be great, but in the last two years has become inedible. Their dogs are salt bombs, tough and overly chewy. And they're really expensive. If visiting Manhattan, stay away.
McSorley's is genius. Thanks for including. I've been there way too many times, and I'm not much of a drinker. I go there for their hot dog, atmosphere and history.
Thanks again for the whirlwind tour. You guys are the best!

Joe and Harry - Great vid, and Joe, you picked out most of the iconic dogs in town (NYC). As to Gray's Papaya, when I was a kid, there were dozens of those places, all over Manhattan. Papaya Mike's, Lilly's Papaya, etc. It was a franchise chain, all being nearly the same, but each a little different (personality). They used to make what are now called smoothies, and you could watch them blend the fruit for your drink, right as you ordered it. Smoothies and dogs were inexpensive for the market, and certainly by today's standards.
Yeah, that McSorely's mustard is hot. A waiter there told me it was the horseradish in it, and Harry was right about it being hot as Wasabi. Nearly all Wasabi sold here in the States, and probably the UK, are a paste of powdered horseradish with green food coloring, and not true Wasabi powder, which is not only far more delicious, but expensive as well. From what I know, most UK mustards are just mustard powder and water, which is basically what you get at a Chinese take-out in the States, being very hot in its own right. Colemans is the market leader here in the States also.
Gray Poupon Dijon has white wine in it, while the 'supposed' original Dijon mustard, Maille, does not. I just finished a bottle of each (just last night), and Gray Poupon wins hands down. It's the only mustard I ever eat off a spoon, spread on nothing else, and want more of. BTW, only buy mustard in a glass container, as when in a plastic bottle, it picks up the leeched taste of plastic. Any and all mustards, even Gray Poupon.
Real sauerkraut's tang comes from the 'sour' of fermentation, not vinegar, same with true pickles, and just as with sourdough bread, where the yeast is fermented. The only commercial kraut I know of (and can be found in just about any supermarket), is Boar's Head, sold refrigerated and in a plastic bag. The ingredients do not list vinegar. Making it at home, is very easy to do, just like making pickles or a sourdough starter, for making sourdough bread is. For pickles, it's usually 'half sour' aka New dill pickles that are the ones truly fermented. Just read the label. If it has vinegar in it, it's probably never been fermented at all.
As to toppings, if you want ketchup, have ketchup, but the Council is correct. It's mostly kids that do that. Personally, I don't, but nor do I care if anyone else does. Sauerkraut and mustard is standard, or mustard and relish, or onions, usually just by themselves, because as you mentioned, the onion sauce is ketchup based, which btw, is also very easy to make at home. YouTube has plenty of instructional vids on making any of these things. I can vouch for them all being relatively easy, inexpensive and fun to make your own, except for horseradish, only because I've never made it, but I'm told it's easy also.

You need to have these two guys just traveling the world, trying stuff.

Trying stuff, talking a lil, going somewhere else. No dazzle, no razzle. That’s what I need.

@BrandoWord. And who thought to put a white t-shirt on a pasty English fella?!

Joe's mindset of "who cares" what you put on your hot dog makes me so happy. It's so stupid when people say how you can and can't eat your food.
Lord LOC
Who cares is the right way of looking at it yes, but the thought of a Chicago dog with those toppings makes me feel ill thinking about it lol But if someone likes it, go for it!

It’s so refreshing! Not at all what I was expecting his response would be

You should see the way people looked at me in the US restaurant I worked in when I put sour cream on a hot dog. I come from Serbia and the way I always ate hot dogs for breakfast was with sour cream and yogurt (the one you drink). They laughed at my face and teased me every time someone ate a hot dog. I was never a fan of mustard with my dogs, while the sour cream breaks the saltiness and heat just the way I like it. I recommend it to everyone!
