The Hot Dog Song

"The Hot Dog Dance" is the dance Mickey and the gang do at the end of every episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Every character has a different dance move he or she does to the song.

The song is titled "Hot Dog!" and is performed by They Might Be Giants. It echoes Mickey's first spoken words in the 1929 short The Karnival Kid. The song has been released in an extended form on at least two different albums: Playhouse Disney: Music Play Date and Disney Junior DJ Shuffle. The version on Playhouse Disney: Music Play Date runs 2:27, while it was shortened to 1:43 for the DJ Shuffle version.

Lyrics
They Might Be Giants: Hot dog!

Synthetic voice: Hot dog!

They Might Be Giants: Hot dog!

They Might Be Giants and Mickey Mouse: Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog Now we got ears, it's time for cheers

They Might Be Giants: Hot dog, hot dog, the problem's solved Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog!

Grab my boots and a sandwich Let's start a parade Get the coconut drumkit for Daisy to play

They Might Be Giants: Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog We're takin' off, we're dancin' now Hot dog, leapfrog and holy cow Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog

They Might Be Giants: Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog It's a brand-new day, what you waitin' for? Get up, stretch out, stomp on the floor Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog

They Might Be Giants and Mickey Mouse: Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog We're splittin' the scene, we're full of beans So long for now from Mickey Mouse

Mickey: That's me!

They Might Be Giants: And the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Mickey: See ya real soon! (Season 1) Aww, thanks for stoppin' by! (Season 2-present)
