Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Tropical Hot Dog Night Lyrics






Tropical hot dog night
Like two flamingos in a fruit fight
Ev'ry colour of day
Whirlin' around at night
I'm playin' this music
So the young girls will come out
To meet the monster tonight
Tropical hot dog night

Like two flamingos in a fruit fight
I don't wanna know 'bout wrong or right
Yeah, I don't want to know
I'm anywhere tonight

Tropical hot dog night
Like two flamingos in a fruit fight
Like steppin' out of a triangle
Into striped light
Striped light, striped light

Tropical hot dog night
Everything's wrong, at the same time it's right
The truth has no patterns for me tonight
I'm playing this music so the young girls will come out
To meet the monster tonight
Meet the monster tonight

What do all you women do
When the men get tropical hot dog payday?
What do you do on tropical hot dog day day?
Hey, hey
Step out of a triangle into striped light
Turn around and step back into striped light
Tropical hot dog night

I'm playin' this song
For all the young girls to come out to meet the monster tonight
Meet the monster tonight
How would you like to be the lucky girl
The lucky one?
To be the monster tonight
Ow, to be the monster tonight
Oh, everything's wrong, at the same time it's white!

You get to be, you get to be with me
And also to be the monster tonight

  8. a.... ....

    How good is this song, I mean really

  9. N.... R....

    All I hear is Trout Mask Replica when I hear their music now.

    N.... R....

    That's understandable considering it's his most critical release. A close second is Doc At The Radar Station which is my favorite of all.

  10. a.... j....

    Perfect song

  11. p.... ....

    I'm glad that somebody finally wrote a song about this subject.

  12. A.... ....

  14. S.... H....

    Like two Phillipinos in a boot fight

  15. C.... L....

    Let me just say this: yum

  16. M.... O....

    One of the most clever musical compositions of all time. Simplistic on the surface but with an incredible amount of density in the background.

  17. f.... l....

    oh my god is this about a pineapple hot dog pizza .........no way

  18. M.... w....

    Don't sleep on Coati Mundi's version!

  19. L.... C....

    LIKE STEPPING OUT OF A TRIANGLE

    STEP OUT OF THE TRIANGLE

    - CAPTAIN BE ART

  20. R.... S....

    Meet Ze Monsta

  21. A.... E....

    Avant garde beatnik brilliance howlin' at da moooooon...

  22. M.... ....

    Vinesauce Vinny brought me here.

  23. J.... H....

    Purchased upon release. A highly anticipated release. A damn great release.

    J.... H....

    Same here. I still remember that day like yesterday.

  24. Z.... D....

    um, synthesizer on my beefheart track?

    Z.... D....

    the marimba adds SUCH a nice vibe

  25. C.... J....

    Terrible Wendy el capitán , al orégano

  26. M.... ....

    amazing song
    i rate it 19/20▲

  27. C.... K....

    Beatles, Bowie, and Beefheart.

  28. S.... T....

    Genius.

  29. P.... W....

    Like stepping out of a triangle!

    P.... W....

    Striped Light! (these guys are doing physics in poetry)

  30. S.... H....

    Like two Phillipinos in a boot fight.

  31. R.... O....

    This beefheart fellow sure has a way with words...like taking a perfect cannonball into the alphabet soup of creativity....heh heh...

  32. J.... H....

    Anticipated its release and purchased it right then. A pure classic.

  33. B.... W....

    Idk what

  34. N.... P....

    perfeito!

  35. S.... O....

    This song is on the soundtrack of living your perfect life. Like stepping out of a triangle, into striped light.

  36. N.... ....

    I'm gonna booglarize you baby

  37. R.... ....

    I rate this 19/20

  38. g.... g....

    nice mate

  39. D.... C....

    The sound kind of reminds me of Vampire Weekend

  40. P.... ....

    19 people stepped out of a square as opposed to a triangle

  41. W.... ....

    Seriously folks, YouTube music quality does this no justice. Buy it and play through good speakers.
    It's at least 2.5x better! Oh yeah!

  42. a.... ....

    I have no idea how did i get here. Great song but confusing!

  43. M.... T....

    I used to play this in the locker room before football games - LOUDLY.  Something about it felt really URGENT and just made me wanna play a violent, collision game.  Don VV would probably be mortified. But once you write a song and put it out in the world, you run the risk of a goober like me interpreting it as I will...This and Apes Ma were my favorites on this record.

  44. P.... T....

    this is not a video

  45. a.... b....

    genius- genius - genius

  46. O.... S....

    Φυστικοβουτυρο

  47. L.... I....

    It's like somebody dropped mescaline before covering a Jimmy Buffet song.

  48. W.... H....

    Thanks to the music gods that Don and Frank knew each other from high school. What would the world of music be w/o the Zappa/Beefheart influence. Pretty bland I dare say....

  49. F.... C....

    Wow - this is undeniable. If this doesn't make you feel good, nothing will.

  50. G.... P....

    Vinny brought me here.
    19/20

  51. R.... G....

    I tryed so hard when i was a young boy...hated every second of it and sound of it...now? Im 56 and cant stop 🎶 listening to the beef

  52. N.... S....

    The Master would approve!

  53. c.... ....

    Sounds like what gravel would sound like, if it had a voice

  54. K.... D....

    My party music. Always.

  55. M.... D....

    MY WEDDING SONG!!!!!!

  56. U.... C....

    beenyort pls

  57. c.... ....

    i've been singing this all morning, including during my morning walk with my dog. maybe this will make people stay away from me. THANKS BRAINYOT!

  58. I.... C....

    So. Good.

  59. D.... ....

    He's shit talking the mudcrab!

  60. D.... P....

    but what does it mean

  61. T.... ....

    Vinny sent me

  62. J.... R....

    ****) MAD DOG SEAL OF OH YOU DATED HER TOO (****

  63. J.... ....

    Merci, Barnyard

  64. Y.... G....

    Captain Beefheart’s singing sounds like barf, and I mean that in a good way, this is the coolest shit ever.

  65. M.... W....

    Be sure to have good headphones when you hear this amazing track! (Lots going on with the synths and bass.)

  66. G.... M....

    And also to meet the monster tonight...

  67. T.... ....

    Is the monster his penis?

  68. T.... D....

    I played this album for my grandmother too and she was just as confused by it, though that may have been caused by her Altzimers.

  69. 1.... ....

    Almost radio ready!

  70. p.... ....

    vinesauce

  71. N.... ....

    the national anthem of vinny going insane while trying to get that one last dorito

  72. N.... d....

    Reminds me of the Fall and they remind me of Captain Beefheart.

  73. G.... B....

    Georgia State U and Georgia Tech each had radio stations in the 70's that would play this and other assorted alternative artists. Miss those days.

  74. T.... G....

    The Captain uses his lyrics as an artistic canvas not as any kind of intellectual composition. It's not what it means, it's how it looks.

    It's been two weeks already?

    he mentioned it for literally one second on that stream.

    J.... ....

    He also mentioned it at cry of fear part 1, i guess he really likes tropical hot dog day day

    J.... ....

    As I watch his streams I notice him talking about this song over and over, like almost one short second per stream

    J.... ....

    What kind of trash bags have you been opening?

    J.... ....

    The literal almost-end of the "Triforce Piece" run brought me here.
