had a hot dog stand in the middle of nowhere in the high desert of new mexico when this was a hit. it gave me encouragement, till after a few years i realized, it would take a whole lot of hot dogs to make a million. but i got a million memories.
When I first heard this I couldn't get a handle on it at all. Many listens later I am convinced it's a work of unalloyed genius....musically, lyrically and vocally. Thank you Captain for your ineffable talent.
That's how all beefhearts songs are. His band is literally incredible. What's crazy is him and Zappa both went to highschool together, both never touched drugs, and both produced the most odd music of our time. You either get it or you don't, welcome to the team who gets it
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.
I played high school football. In my Era there was no song being played as we got ready to exit the club house.its funny when I was in high school trout mask was huge for me and my buddies.the dust blows forward and the dust blows back.add a little frownland for Colo r.
"Everything's wrong - at the same time it's RIGHT! The truth has no patterns for me tonight." For those who haven't been there, it's time you ventured.
I played this for my punk rock friends in high school and they HATED it! To me it was part of Beefheart's three Virgin Records releases. After seeing Beefheart on SNL c.'80-'81(?), I ran out and got 'Doc At The Radar Station' immediately! I had to go to NYC from Boston to even find a copy of 'Bat Chain Puller'! I even liked 'Ice Cream For Crow' and listened to it endlessly when it came out. So everybody: ''Open up another case of the punks!!
In proportion to their achievements, this band, alongside Swans and Coil, is the most underrated band in history. It pisses me off to no end that The Vliet of the Fleet himself couldn’t crack into mainstream success despite his consummate songwriting talent.

This is in heavy rotation on sirius XM Phish radio. Been a Beefheart fan for a minute, but probably wouldn't be here right now if not for Trey giving this masterpiece a shout out,
I had heard Spotlight Kid, Clearspot, Trout Mask Repilca ETC., but when this album came out... it spoke to me... in a weird eclectic way... like pouring honey on a steak... ya know?
I fell in love with this song as a tween in a tiny Canadian village in the early 2000's. Haven't listened in probably a decade. Now realize this song taught me everything about how to _really_ party.
Well, it is a cat's job to trip out. The song is magic - the flow just works, and mandatory listening for anyone who finds the Captain a wonderful breakout from charted bilge.
I'l b here 4ever, if you ever need a voice of reason, a family member who is not here bcuz we r related by blood or DNA, yet, rather, music, kindness, beauty, rythym & rhyme, & a drop of blood that can't b shared with anyone!! 🍓

I'm glad that somebody finally wrote a song about this subject.
😂😂😂😂
I don't know what the subject is,is it about having a good time 🤔
hahahaha , I'm dead !
Such an underrated comment lmao
"like 2 flamingoes in a fruit-fight(?)"
This has been my ring tone for years. It blows their minds.
Great Bows 🙇🙇♂🙇♀.
Parents: Talk to your kids about Tropical Hot Dog Nights before their friends do...
Chris Krug Haha! Absolutely!
Children, warn your nurses about the TROPICAL HOT DOG NIGHT.....
Sorry it took me a decade to tell you that is a funny comment
This crazy song is hypnotic, I play it every day, I can't stop.
35 years later and this still holds up as a gem
It’s honestly wild this song is 45 now.
Greatest song ever written
Very might well be. Like nothing else in the world.
It may be. It's just so damn strange, but undeniably brilliant
Yes you are correct, you win!!
had a hot dog stand in the middle of nowhere in the high desert of new mexico when this was a hit. it gave me encouragement, till after a few years i realized, it would take a whole lot of hot dogs to make a million. but i got a million memories.
Amo tu comentario. Espero tengas suerte con los hotdogs y ánimos :))
I worked a brat cart for a good lil while got plenty of good memories from those long evening to nights
The songs about dicks dawg
This song is very informative. I have a much greater understanding of the behavior of flamingos for having listened to it.
When I first heard this I couldn't get a handle on it at all. Many listens later I am convinced it's a work of unalloyed genius....musically, lyrically and vocally. Thank you Captain for your ineffable talent.
Genio
He was a real first-class effer, if there ever was one.
This song is on the soundtrack of living your perfect life. Like stepping out of a triangle, into striped light.
😍
Epic observtion
One of the most clever musical compositions of all time. Simplistic on the surface but with an incredible amount of density in the background.
@@Tokelanddiaries agreed
That's how all beefhearts songs are. His band is literally incredible. What's crazy is him and Zappa both went to highschool together, both never touched drugs, and both produced the most odd music of our time. You either get it or you don't, welcome to the team who gets it
One day a dj in Ibiza will play this and the room will erupt
@@mattconway2420 Beefheart verifiably smoked weed and did psychedelics. Not to detract from his genius, but...
Abso-bloody-lutely!
Love the Capt.
JaneR
Thanks vinny
It's like somebody dropped mescaline before covering a Jimmy Buffet song.
Nice
Great analogy!!!
Haha
Thank you Binyot.
The official music video for this song is Luigi riding a platform in circles over an abyss and getting burned continuously
ah and i already wondered where the hell i found a song like this
@@Dinofly4 what stream was it
my eighty year old grandmother quickly became confused as I played this song and danced a wacky jig in the living room.
Joey Dimaggio good for her; i'm doin' her dance right now and it is truly wacky but totally psychotropic
+Joey Dimaggio I think you have a pretty cool Grandma !
+Anne Wistaff Why, thank you ANNE
+Joey Dimaggio I like you !!
; )
In a couple hundred years he will be the one they talk about.
As far as popular music, totally agree.
Robert Reynolds It'll be about him, FZ and Beck Hanson.
and not just in this galaxy either.
If you've listened to any of "safe as milk" you wouldn't be saying his vocals are forgettable. The man was a musical savant.

Man,Malcolm you have good taste !
That is beautiful. I think the Captain would dig it!
And here I thought I was the only one.
I played high school football. In my Era there was no song being played as we got ready to exit the club house.its funny when I was in high school trout mask was huge for me and my buddies.the dust blows forward and the dust blows back.add a little frownland for Colo r.
I like the title track.
"Everything's wrong - at the same time it's RIGHT! The truth has no patterns for me tonight." For those who haven't been there, it's time you ventured.
That surprise at the end when we hear Don' s actual voice...pure genius!
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!
hahaha YES!!!
Like two flamingos in a fruit fight!
i always thought it's "two flamingos in a foo fight". :P
From the Bat Chain Puller album. BCP the song is based on the sound of windshield wipers. The Captain is willing to be inspired by anything.
Yes! You can hear the high-hat (reversed?) that sounds like the shloop of a wiper. The Capt. drove a beat up old SAAB, they had crazy wipers.
Wow - this is undeniable. If this doesn't make you feel good, nothing will.
I played this for my punk rock friends in high school and they HATED it! To me it was part of Beefheart's three Virgin Records releases. After seeing Beefheart on SNL c.'80-'81(?), I ran out and got 'Doc At The Radar Station' immediately! I had to go to NYC from Boston to even find a copy of 'Bat Chain Puller'! I even liked 'Ice Cream For Crow' and listened to it endlessly when it came out.
So everybody: ''Open up another case of the punks!!
Whenever an out-of-touch DJ says no of the tunes you suggest aren't dance tunes, tell him to play this.
MagnumPineapple27 AND HOLGER CZUKAY
This song was played at my son's wedding reception. The DJ said it was the most fun he's ever had at work. 🎼🎵🎶
ESP the dj at the strip club
Thanks Vinny for introducing me to this
In proportion to their achievements, this band, alongside Swans and Coil, is the most underrated band in history. It pisses me off to no end that The Vliet of the Fleet himself couldn’t crack into mainstream success despite his consummate songwriting talent.
Its like steppin out of a Triangle into striped light
At his most wonderful, the greatest rock band ever
I always play this and frownland when I introduce people to Captain Beefheart. It's great to see the look of udder confusion yet joy
going through my dads AMAZING VINYL COLLECTION, played this song & blew my friends away, back in the day.
the 90s
This is one of Red Vox's best songs.
This is probably my favourite song from Blood Bagel 2
Vliety pleaz
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS TRACK
God I miss the Captain ...
Ahhh, the amazing Magic Band.....tropical hot dog pay day....
Tropical hot dog day-day....love the Captain!!!
Tropical Hot Dog Night
Like two flamingoes 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 flamingoes in a fruit fight
I don’t wanna know ‘bout wrong or right
I don’t want to know
- I’m anywhere tonight
Tropical Hot Dog Night
Like two flamingoes 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?
Yay; Yay
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
I luv this song but what is the subject? Anyone tell me what you think,thanks
@@kevinparker9692 its about a tropical hotdog night
young girls love the monster tropical hotdog , and they get to be the monsterbun that houses the ho
tdog @@kevinparker9692
It’s about getting laid duh. Getting young girls to come out and meet the monster tonight. The panting between lines. Obvious
This is in heavy rotation on sirius XM Phish radio. Been a Beefheart fan for a minute, but probably wouldn't be here right now if not for Trey giving this masterpiece a shout out,
phish sucks
thank you vinny
This song makes me wanna cry tears of joy
This beefheart fellow sure has a way with words...like taking a perfect cannonball into the alphabet soup of creativity....heh heh...
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
you know binyot is losing his mind when you hear this on stream
This album is Don's masterpiece!
Agreed!! I think so as well!!!
It's the perfect fusion of weirdo Beefheart and accessible Beefheart.
Shiny beast best beefheart album ever
This song is the definition of good
Amazing amount of music crammed into a tiny space.
Good Old Captain Beef. I just love ‘em. Musically, pulls me in, every time. Jane Russell
is it really 35 years? christalmighty!!!
brilliant. A genius.
Classic album.
MY WEDDING SONG!!!!!!
amazing song
i rate it 19/20▲
Step out a triangle...into striped light. Beefheart in this form is like an acid trip for the ears. Genius.
the national anthem of vinny going insane while trying to get that one last dorito
I bought this ringtone. It’s the most positive optimistic thing to hear when someone calls.
Don does West African pop!
That change at the end, from high screech to pure deep barrotone oozing class..."also be the monster tonight" God Don you were a one off
Anticipated its release and purchased it right then. A pure classic.
Maybe I'm taking the title too literally but this song makes me want to throw a luau and grill up some Hawaiian style hot dogs on a summer evening.
Yeah it's a sexual innuendo
Surprisingly lyrical in its structure considering how avant guard it is.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Everything is.
This song reminds me of my childhood memories.
This song gives good head tonight. Monster
Purchased upon release. A highly anticipated release. A damn great release.
Same here. I still remember that day like yesterday.
You said the same comment two years in a row. It's time for another it's been two.years Joseph
I had heard Spotlight Kid, Clearspot, Trout Mask Repilca ETC., but when this album came out... it spoke to me... in a weird eclectic way... like pouring honey on a steak... ya know?
very good sir. honey on a steak.
I fell in love with this song as a tween in a tiny Canadian village in the early 2000's. Haven't listened in probably a decade. Now realize this song taught me everything about how to _really_ party.
this is one of the songs in the world
indisputably
Here because of a dance party on Friday nite.Thank you Mark.D.J.& Laura Lee..My favorite Texas Trio✌💘
I love how the Sax is so detached from the rest of the song, love this.
Almost like each musician has their own song to play?
Trumpet
@@kyleandrews9500 I will take your word for it, TY for the correction ....
My cat's eaRs prick up with this. And it colors my mind with a ocean wave o coconut rush bat mombo, yall...
Well, it is a cat's job to trip out. The song is magic - the flow just works, and mandatory listening for anyone who finds the Captain a wonderful breakout from charted bilge.
“MY EARS STICK UP WHEN I HEAR THAT SOUND” - Don would love this!
Am I wrong that this could be a great pop song in 2016? Catchy hook, fun, short, dirty lyrics?
+Adam Casey It will always be a great pop song.
It'll be a great pop song in 2106 and beyond
Replace the singer with someone half his age maybe. Pop is all about the tweenies now.
Lol, it's about 30 years old
It will always be a great song (timeless) Way beyond pop I think , but really who cares what it is ?
The captain truly original music a genius i love it .way ahead of his time. Beautiful and real.
LIKE STEPPIN OUT OF A *TRIANGLE*
I showed her the Monster tonight!!
Nothing good can come from a tropical hot dog night.
it’s hard not to smile listening to this
My party music. Always.
Feels like I’m stepping out of a triangle!
genius- genius - genius
A bubble of delightful, manic bliss that must be engaged regularly in order to keep the S.S. Psyche righted.
How was this not a top 40 hit?
Also, it was great to hear the Captain. He was one of a kind, for sure.
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.

PJ Harvey was inspired and wrote a song from her perspective- Meet Ze Monsta . I recommend checking out her live version.
Can't get out of my head!
Almost radio ready!
Love this album that I just recently discovered!
1 thumbs down. Someone had a bad tropical hotdog dayday
maybe it was a Hard days Tropical Hot Dog Night?
yuccablossoms maybe they had three tropical hot dog night in a row...just too much.
contactkeithstack I did that once... never again
Maybe they turned round and the light wasn't striped
I just laughed my ass off man. Thank you.

This song has everything I need.
Good song; good painting!
Sounds like what gravel would sound like, if it had a voice
An exalted state of mind.
