The Hot Dog Song

"The Hot Dog Song" is a song associated with the dance Mickey and the gang do at the end of every episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Every character has a different dance move they do to the song.

It is performed by They Might Be Giants. It echoes Mickey's first spoken words in the 1929 short The Karnival Kid. Extended versions of the song have been released 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.

The song got a re-introduction in 2019 with the third season of Mickey and the Roadster Racers, now renamed Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures.

Trivia

• When dancing the Hot Dog Dance, the characters have unique dance moves:
  • Mickey swings his body back and forth while swaying his arms and kicking his feet out.
  • Minnie's dance is similar to Mickey's, except that she swings out her arms while kicking her heels.
  • Goofy flaps his arms like a bird while squatting up and down and kicking out his legs. Clarabelle mimics this dance whenever she joins in on the Hot Dog Dance.
  • Pluto squats up and down while leaning from side to side.
  • Donald swings his arms back and forth while hopping on his feet.
  • Daisy sways her arms side to side and leans to the opposite side.
  • Clarabelle puts her arms down in a place like a penguin and quietly marches in place. She also mimics Goofy's dance at times.
  • In some episodes, the recurring characters in the show would also join such as Pete, Clarabelle, Ludwig Von Drake, Mortimer Mouse, Chip and Dale and Toodles (who permanently joins the gang in the dance on Season 4 and onwards and leaves with them after he flies out the Mouskedoer).
• The dance is referred to as the Mouskedance in Season 1, the Hot Dog Dance for the rest of the show, and the Yumblatz Dance (the Martian word for a hot dog) for episodes set on Mars.
• During the interruption in Season 1, Mickey would give a short recap of the Mousketools used in the episode. From Season 2 to Season 4, the recaps were moved to the end credits, so instead either the protagonist of the episode would thank the viewers for joining their adventure, or Pluto barks along with the tune.
• In Season 1, the characters do a pose, then do their dances (it's dancing to the closing theme) as the credits roll, making it the last of the celebration. It is followed by the WDTA/Playhouse Disney logos.
