Hot Dog! - They Might Be Giants

Hot Dog! - They Might Be Giants
2:28
Disney's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, 2006
Written by by John Flansburgh and John Linnell

Is this a TMBG song for kids?  Yes, but so what?  I unironically love their ostensibly "for kids" album No!.  Is this song genuine Disney fare, referring to Daisy [Duck] playing coconut drums, and "so long for now from Mickey Mouse"?  Yes, but it's impossibly infectious.  I can't get enough the enthusiastic way John Flans sings "Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog," and the bopping trombone, and the accordion.  It's all great.  "We're splittin' the scene / We're full of beans."
