No Picture † fatass Average	#1 by † fatass † at Nov 22, 1976 at 7:20 PM EST
	Mmkay, three years later, going back to the first comment, alot of southerners yell HOT DOG when something good happens. It's like the cool way to say yeehaw. So that's where that came from. =/

No Picture Wacko Average	#2 by Wacko Jacko at Jan 8, 1978 at 7:09 AM EST
	It was said that after one very late night and heavy drinking, Jimmy Page woke up with Robert Plants "hot dog" in his mouth. This started a rift that the band never recovered from. Such a shame, great song.

No Picture THIS GUY Wanna Be	#3 by THIS GUY at Jul 13, 1978 at 7:05 AM EST
	lol ^^ beeman thats funny

No Picture Adam Average	#4 by Adam at Apr 16, 1980 at 4:16 AM EST
	rockabilly zeppelin style...not my fave either, but still a good song from a great album

No Picture Julien Average	#5 by Julien MarK at Sep 14, 1980 at 10:42 AM EST
	Hot Dog is my least favourite Led Zeppelin song but I can find some positive that came out of this song. I honestly think it is a spoof of a country song and if there were a music video, a Dodge Charger with a Confederate flag would be very appropriate. As well, as true Zeppelin fans can notice, that it was not there high point, its still shows how willing they were to try out different styles and they were not afraid of failing. No band can come out with only hit songs unless they are a bunch of sell-outs who release one single such as The Darkness. Yes this song is not a Stairway to Heaven, but it really shows that Led Zeppelin is such a great band, because Hot Dog for many bands would be a comparatively good song.

No Picture Charley Wanna Be	#6 by Charley Dawe at May 25, 1986 at 2:35 AM EST
	That video is hilarious - I friggin love this song. Zeppelin is undeniably the most talented, skilled, and creative rock band ever. period.

No Picture Rory Wanna Be	#7 by Rory Burlet at Feb 28, 1991 at 5:02 AM EST
	Its really cool live at knebworth, page does this dance where he looks like his gliding without moving hsi legs check it out, www.video.google.com then just type in hot dog and press the zeppelin live 1979

No Picture ToeJam Rhythm Player	#8 by ToeJam at Mar 3, 1994 at 4:21 PM EST
	i actually like this song, its not one of my favourites, but ain't bad...oh and to beeman, that's pretty gross man

No Picture Sam Rhythm Player	#9 by Sam at Mar 7, 1994 at 3:43 PM EST
	Listen to the guitar solo before the first chorus and tell me this song is bad. I dare you.

No Picture John Wanna Be	#10 by John McCarthy at Oct 27, 2002 at 5:56 AM EST
	thanks ToOlHoLiO...I must agree wit hyou here....That's why this band is great......As a musician I couldn't bear to do the same sound over and over.....It works for some shitty bands.....ok there not bands....ex. Lincoln Park...hehe....There is originality and genuine creativity here.....You can't knock Zeppelin, dude.....They bounce right back.....It's a very amusing song to say the least... ;)

No Picture Bassdude Average	#11 by Bassdude at May 20, 2006 at 12:30 PM EST
	the song is "about" an American girl that broke up with Plant, but the purpose of the song is more to make some wry remarks and take a few jabs at Americas and American culture. the title for one is of course an American delicacy, then he goes on to talk about Greyhounds and General Stores and blue dungarees and Texas and Uhauls and pick-up trucks and other somewhat stereotypical American items.

No Picture Jona_Red.Hot Wanna Be	#12 by Jona_Red.Hot Olavaria at Jun 13, 2006 at 9:12 AM EST
	to all you who say this song is bad you are dumb i think its awesome and hilarius that led zeppelin would do this i love this song

No Picture jordan Average	#13 by jordan sjsjtkiris at Aug 7, 2006 at 4:15 PM EST
	i think it has something to do with the Lord of the Rings, im sure hobbits love hot dogs :D

No Picture Kyle Average	#14 by Kyle Bowlby at Nov 2, 2006 at 1:51 PM EST
	I fail to see how people can dislike this song. I get it stuck in my head almost every day. It's funny, different, and exciting. You can't not like it.

No Picture LeZombi Wanna Be	#15 by LeZombi at Jan 27, 2007 at 7:29 PM EST
	All of you naysayers, this is a great song about life on the road as Led Leppelin. Stealing other peoples women (OPP) is a hobby. Bored TX girl (insert small town here) runs off with rock star, leaving overly confident 3a kicker football star in the dust

No Picture rudy Average	#16 by rudy smith at Mar 1, 2007 at 12:10 AM EST
	lol ^^ beeman thats funny

No Picture eric Wanna Be	#17 by eric tanguay at Jun 15, 2007 at 10:17 PM EST
	I heard that Jimmy was pretending to play as though it was his first time out on a guitar. It is one of my favourite zeppelin songs and is just wonderful. Love the vocal approach by Robert

No Picture Ciaran Average	#18 by Ciaran Mc Nally at Oct 10, 2007 at 11:46 AM EST
	I like hot dogs too - except when you can see the veins in them.
