Lizzie,

What's your recipe for Cornish Dog on a stick?


olddude,

Only the first sing mentioned deals with hot dogs on that particular recording. The rest is just classic stuff off of the same recording.

HOWEVER, I can point you toward the title song of the Buck Owens recording "Hot Dog!" (Capitol C4-9113-cassette), and if THAT'S not enough to whet your appetite and you want entire CDs of songs at least in the same spirit....

The aforementioned Buck Owens song may be the only specific hot dog song on there, "El Paso Chile Company Authentic Genuine Daddy Q BBQ Blues (EMI Music Special Markets 72433-84341-2-5) was put out on behalf of said chile company and is full of songs about RCs & Moon Pies, BBQ, Chicken, Chili Peppers and Onions by the likes of NRBQ, Mojo Nixon and Tennessee Ernie Ford. I found mine at a yard sale I'd google the company about availability. Good luck.

Much in the same vein and probably more readily available is "Livin' In The House Of Blues: Barbeque Blues" (House Of Blues 51416 1388 2) chock full of goodness from the present back to the days of 78s w/ Louis Jordan, Professor Longhair, Saffire, Barbeque Bob, Bessie Smith and Slim Gaillard in the mix. Another cheap find from a library sale.

Neither are anything I would have paid list for but couldn't resist for a well spent buck or two.

....and of course, there's always "The Happy Scrapple Daddy Polka" by The Holy Modal Rounders from "Good Taste Is Timeless" (Sundazed SC 6208 on CD. The LP was on Metromedia) which mentions most kinds of sausage other than frankfurters in an orgy of Pennsylvania partying at its best. You'll either love it, or become a vegetarian on the spot.......


Bon appitit!
