WMG and YouTube have censored my own remix of this great tune. Nobody was going to download my version which was remixed in such a way that it sounded as if it were coming from an empty tin of plums at the bottom of our deepest oceon, and yet, greed is the ruler of the land and it was censored..... I thought it was a good way to beat the automatic WMG censorship. To remix it yourself using whatever devices you can get your hands on is indeed a waist of time.
Please do not write to me asking what the hell is going on, it's all here and explained, but alas, some people can't read or don't bother and write to complain. Please do not be that person if you have read this.
If you do write, then you either have something non negative to say or you're a comedian. Comedians are always welcome.
Rant over.

This is from the album "Shiny Beast", originally released in 1978.

Lyrics

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

  • What a weird cool random juxtaposition of music and images. At first I was thinking "where the hell's the Beefheart tune?", but I love Debussy, so I stuck around, and yeah ... nice job, truly beautiful.

  • @kurt52073

    Glad you liked it.... there is another version of this video with the music but (and a big BUT indeed) with 2 other layers of sound/noise to beat the automatic censorship

  • That's stupid; I wouldn't have bought ANYTHING labelled Captain Beefheart before I heard his great music on the tube; it could have been a great way to promote his music to younger generations. Zappa's estate could use youtube instead of fighting this free marketing!

  • Larry

    You are absolutely correct

    Musicians today are coming around to that fact - Particularly ALL the R&B artists

    Hopefully more will learn to stop looking to Sony as their personal Jesus

see all
