The World's Longest Hotdog
Brother Dege Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jacked up in Waco
Baby, you just don't know
Burnt out in Free Town
Free Town is where I am from.
If you come down to Freak Town
Bring your hotdog buns.
No, I can't go on dragging along
The world's longest hotdog.
Long as a slow train
High as the day is tall
Deep as the sea, baby
Cruel as the day I's born
If you come down to meat me
Bring hotdog buns.




I can't go on dragging along
The world's longest hotdog.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Brother Dege's song "The World's Longest Hotdog" talk about the singer's struggle to move on from the past, as symbolized by the metaphorical "world's longest hotdog." The first two lines describe what seems to be a state of confusion and disorientation, represented by being "jacked up in Waco." The next line references "Free Town," which may be a reference to a particular location, but also serves as a metaphor for the singer's state of being. The line "if you come down to Freak Town, bring your hotdog buns" suggests that Freak Town may be a difficult or uncomfortable place to be, but also implies that there is something worth experiencing, represented by the hotdog.


The chorus repeats the idea that the singer cannot continue to carry the burden of the "world's longest hotdog," which seems to represent his past, his emotional baggage, or some other difficult aspect of his life. The imagery used to describe the hotdog is vivid and evocative- "Long as a slow train / High as the day is tall / Deep as the sea, baby / Cruel as the day I's born." These lines suggest the enormity and weight of the hotdog, and the final line relates it back to the singer's personal history. The final verse repeats the invitation to come "meat" the singer, again using the hotdog as a symbol, before concluding once again that he cannot continue with the weight of this burden.
