Its Hot Dog, Jumping Frog, Alberquerkee! - Mad Lyrics........love it, 80s songs sound like a confident world!

[othyization]

What is this? This is rubbish! We should be listening to firm young melodies, kicking tunes, thumping bass... God I sound so stupid!

[jhodgski]

Were those real hot dogs?

[Iamthebomb763]

LOVE THIS

[Iamthebomb763]

TUNE!!!!!!!

[Salgandarin]

[J4M1570]

80s y u awesome

[Ilpoxi]

This is one of the strangest music videos. And I was watching it late summer -88 when I was 13.

[CorvusCorone68]

@Ilpoxi the 80s had some REALLY strange musical groups

[ajaxrobinson]

Go on then, I'll have a half. Just a half.

[196319631963ful]

[196319631963ful]

[darkofheartness77]

Does anyone remember this song on SPACED, during the house warming party?

[elysiancinnamon]

@darkofheartness77 Exactly the reason why I looked up this song :)

[xanya]

my daughter sings 'hot dog, jumping frog , outdoor cooking '

[superwhites06]

@xanya Where do I send the bill for a new laptop? I've just spat red wine all over it. Brilliant.

[edenonearth1974]

this song is great but their earlier song When Love Breaks Down is possibly one of the most awsome songs of the 80s

[bluejeckett]

@edenonearth1974 nah this is better, love breaks down isnt that unique

[redthumb11]

hotdog! jumping frog, Albuquerque.....i think they are references to elvis(king of rock n roll)?

[alfieedog1]

must have a wee member if you take a frog

[Donksn]

@alfieedog1

Nah! Wrap elastic sellotape around em to stop them splitting...

FFS! I like Burds who dress up as Frogs! My Wife has 5 Kermit the frog costumes coz she knows what it does for me.

[MiffMeisterGeneral]

Wow brings me back! Those were the days *sigh*. Awesome song.

[HLGFreeman]

Albert Kerky I'll be quirky. For years I misheard ... who'd have though Albuquerque ?!! Such a fun song. Always cheers me up. I was 10 when this was released.

[BACHELORD42]

my name is GAY and it' s a pride for me lol. I love this song, at about many years then i was young.............

[darrentiansutton]

how gay is that video!

[MRTIMWINN]

"You were never fleet of foot, hippy." - guilty as charged

[morlader]

The frog has just been on the Chris Evans show on Radio 2

[Donksn]

Thumbs up if you want to shag the frog

[TheFunkadelicFan]

@Donksn Your kind make me sick.

[Donksn]

@TheFunkadelicFan

Why! Are you not capable of shagging a frog?

[TheFunkadelicFan]

@Donksn Bridget Bardot, maybe.

[Donksn]

@TheFunkadelicFan Eeew, that is sick.

[ed728i]

[thenorthfacetrek]

Orthodontics required....

[jazz4]

My dad used to sing this back in the early 90's whilst shaving, but he always sang "Almond Cookie" instead of 'Albuquerque'. I think he knew the lyrics, he was just trying to be annoying.

[jepson74]

winter as well,,fake summer..look at the trees ..no leaves..cool band still,,.

[emailpaulday]

I cant remeber yesterday but I remember this video and I was 5 when it was released

[Bitchflakes1979]

Hot dog, jumping frog....albuquerque : )

[stevemanda1]

i love this song and I want a frog mask like that! This vido is so cool. My brother was just randomly looking through vids and saw this with his friend and showed me and I showed my friends and they showed theirs. The End peace out out hot dogs! (From Albert Cookie! :D)

[SuperPhilipG]

@stevemanda1 There is no band as fresh and as unique as this one!

[porridgepistol]

whats the girls name.

[zuluteam01]

Hot dog jumping frog i want cookie....haha i thought those were the lyrics for years haha!!...great song btw!

[J4K31]

@zuluteam01 I think every kid in every disco in every primary school at the time thought those were the lyrics :P

[xoxEmeraldCity]

@zuluteam01 agreed but its actually hot dog jumping frog albuquerque

[2bsom1]

@zuluteam01 are they not?

[theblueproject]

@zuluteam01 ha, your lyrics make more sense at least... ;)

[CorvusCorone68]

@zuluteam01 i think the last bit might actually be Albuquerque

[BilboBaghead81]

@CorvusCorone68 could you spell Pedantic please. K thx. And if you really want to push your ability, try Pernickity. They mean the same thing. Sorry I just find people who correct others over spelling in a patronising way desperately need to feel superior in one way or another. Sad really. Cheer up! Stop condescending. If you want to patronise so much, have kids.

[Flynno82]

Looks like Michael Flatley on the diving board..LOL

[therobster1975]

whos albert turkey

[mcurran456]

when i was a kid i always thought it was I want cookie

lol

[rotherhams602xq]

i love this song!! reminds me of school days!! lol! dnt like the vid so much tho.. =o/

[HallingsaLegend]

Albuquerque NOT Almond Cookies hahaha

[ROCKSOLID19]

This video says NEVER SMOKE SMACK!

[MegaWelshie1]

This reminds me of my son. When he was about three he always used to join in with the Chrous. He's now 21 and whenever I play it or he hears it on the radio he always says "come on ma, they're playing our song". ......

[fuckoverload]

Fuck Sony.

[basehead617]

[Cullyy1989]

[jellydonut456]

I love Cars and Girls and When Love Breaks Down. They are works of genius but I hate to say it this is garbage ! Dancing hotdogs ??????



[SuperBenmatthews]

Where can i get one of those fantastic hotdog costumes, very tasty number

[youngmick2]

Paddy took the lyrics off Inch and Padger reading mags out loud in a hoose in

Co.Durham-told you's this before.Pure pisstake alroond Mac, timeless.

[duncanbe81]

Wow, ...this is really synonymous with the musical talent found in Albuquerque. There's a reason this song didn't list on a top 1000 chart.

[emsez]

@duncanbe81 they're not from Albuquerque, also "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", peaked at number seven in the UK Singles Chart.

[riveredagain]

one word... QUALITY!

[vaj99]

This video is hilarious!! its so witty and clever!!

[MrThreescoops]

[jessrosemay]

@dazzlerby i have amazing skill; but honestly thats my father in that suit!

[pathogensmusick]

This is easily one of the funnest, wackiest songs & videos of all time. One of my dream's is to give coffee to a bunch of young kids & put them in a room with tons of plastic balls of all colors while we all dance to this song full volume.

[dieeser]

@pathogensmusick maaaan, that sounded like michael jackson

[2546steveo]

i have to only hear this on the radio and the video springs to mind well them dancing hotdogs!!!

[loyalmyrmidon]

Spaced.



[jessrosemay]

You see that frog; Thats my father!

[dazzlerby]

@jessrosemay I don't believe that frog is your father, how do you type with your webbed fingers??

[SnakeEatersz]

What is this? This is rubbish! We should be listening to firm young melodies, kicking tunes, thumping bass... God I sound so stupid.

[notagent47]

Fuck off with the fucking adverts!

[6140stormee]

wtf is this!

[mikebozart]

you're too trippy, hippy.

[mimidec67]

[jonacornley]

@mimidec67 it is deeply lame, but i hold high memories of my dad when listenin to this shockin song!

[roasthunter]

Completely forgot about this song until I heard another prefab sprout song on the radio. Takes me back :)

[DudemanSwede]

VERY important lyrics! You've gotta  LOVE 'EM! :-)

[TheOgo1971]

wow brings back a lot of good memories this song i must ov bin around 16-17 wen it came out and i still like it

[sablepoot1967]

Love this song,very catchy tune, and they are from Durham, like me...(The original Durham City, in England) lol x

[mango2005]

He is so cute.

[danielkidd85]

This is such an 80s video

[supahdave1987]

I only know this song because of Spaced and found myself singing along to it. I too thought it was about cookies....

[Context81]

I just love it when he screams 'Hot Dog!' in a really high pitched voice before the chorus. And when the statue sings it. I always thought the lyrics were meaningless but it's actually quite a sad song!

[sorenc3612]

Thought he sang "hotdog jumping trough, i wan't cookie".

[mancminx2]

when i was a kid, not that long ago, this song was blasted all over holiday parks every summer, ah the memories, too catchy for its own good love it

[MamboJambo55]

Soooo gutted this isn't an awesome song about cookies; but it's still brilliant !!! Thank you, Jessica Hynes, for bringing this song into my life.

[koolchicify]

braitnicho: of course it is!! a brilliant funny send up by a brilliant man

[braitnicho]

Excellent video but it is a piss take you know?

[erectacocky]

Hot Dog, Jumping Frog, All my Cookies!

[XoXstarsweepXoX]

She was the first female singer whose voice would send shivers down my spine when I was younger, still not sure what it was about it but sexy as hell back in the day (still makes me smile)
