The TV news I watch in the morning likes to point out some of these unusual “National Days.” If I can find a few pictures connecting Elvis with them, I like to put them on ElvisBlog.
This is actually a picture disc. “Hot Dog” was one of the songs in the movie Loving You. It was the song Elvis was singing when his female manager engineered a riot. I don’t know why “Hot Dog” deserved a picture disc. It was a fairly weak tune in the movie compared to the title song and rockers like “Teddy Bear”, “Mean Woman Blues”, and “Got A Lot of Living To Do.”
In the song, Elvis is not talking about food. Hot dog is a happy exclamation about how his baby is coming home to him. Hot dog is mentioned 12 times in the lyrics.
I have this book, but soon it will be available the next time I offer some more stuff from my Fuzzy room for sale.
Actually, that is not a hot dog on the cover. It is a Brat, but that’s close enough.
Have a great National Hot Dog Day.
Please let me know when you’re going to sell .please

Hi Phil
To celebrate “Hot dog day” a spécial tribute to Corky Jones aka Buck Owens and his 56’s hit “Hot dog”…..

Hi CC: Now that you bring it up, I do remember the Buck Owens song.

I have the “Are You Hungry Tonight?” cookbook too! Great picture of Elvis! But…of course! (*_*)
Hi Sandy: Have you ever cooked any of the recipes?

Hello, I love the blog but the last several have no pics visible. I see where they belong but nothing. Did something change?
Hi Michael. ElvisBlog is no fun without the pictures, but nothing changed on my blog platform. This is the first instance of this I have heard of. Is anybody else not getting the pictures?
