In an effort to come up with kids' songs that have nothing to do with Harry Potter, I got with my buddy Aaron one day. We wrote three songs in two hours... and this is one of them. We're the children's Baldbox -- just what the world needs!
And... the song has already been banned from the Bluebird Cafe, Nashville's songwriter-mecca where I've been the MC on Sundays for three years. To quote one of the higher-ups, "Well, I was pretty grossed out... I'm certain it will be a smash hit with 10 year old boys, but I don't think you'd be setting a very good example for the other songwriters if you sang it [here]. Personally I wouldn't want to hear it... we do make [our customers] spend 7 dollars on food and drink."
Good thing she's not in charge of MarsCon! YEAH!!
Music and lyrics: SG and Aaron Raitiere
Instruments, vocals, production: SG

This isn't downloading on iTunes. I suspect it's because there's an apostrophe in the title.

Great song! Umm...why does my breakfast sausage look unappealing all of a sudden? ;-)

That was... silly. And... funny. And... classic. Great work! Still giggling.

I thought it was great, but I must appeal to a Higher Authority.

This is great...which is more than can be said for what is actually IN the hot dog.

HAHAHA!!! By far my favorite SG song!!! But this song felt like it had more endings than the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie.

You forgot to mention rats; that's what was in em on "Gary & Mike". This may sound disgusting but I'm suddenly hungry for hot-dogs. I wouldn't be surprised if a vegetarian uses this song in a vid one day

I may never be able to eat another hot dog again.

Great song, Steve, and a sound choice, I must say, playing the jaw harp in the chorus; if your song has a jaw harp in it, you know it's gonna be a hit (well at least in my mind). I've wondered wondered 'bout the inner workings of hot dogs for a while, thanks for finally dishing out the truth.

Funny stuff, Steve. Great production too.

Funny but... maybe should have a "squick" label?
