The song "Hot dog" lol

[Nicole Presley]

Correct me if I´m wrong, but I´ve always read the song is called "Hot dog". And I always wondered what for sense that should make. And I listened closely and it sounds like he sings "Hot doll"!!!
Do I understand it wrong or did everyone else understand it wrong???
Did someone make a mistake about the name of the song??? I´m confused.

Hot dog, you say you're really coming back
Hot dog, I?m waiting at the railway track
Hot dog, you say you're coming home for good
Hot dog, I?m going to keep knocking on wood
And baby, I can hardly wait
I?m gonna meet you at the gate, hot dog

I fell in love with you and then you went away
But now you're coming home to stay
Hot dog, soon everything will be all right
Hot dog, we're gonna have a ball tonight
I've got a pocketful of dimes
It's gonna be just like old times, hot dog

You went away and every day was misery
But now you're coming back to me
Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane
Hot dog, when you come walking off the train
Oh how lonely I have been
But when that Santa Fe pulls in
Hot dog, baby, baby, hot dog

Did you listen to it closely? I mean so that you can hear it really clear? How can someone call his girlfriend "Hot dog"?

yes i heard it carefully nicole its hot dog..keep in mind nicole its just a song elvis is singing...elvis was a true gentleman he treated the ladies always right with respect

[Nicole Presley]

Okay, if you say it´s "Hot dog" then it is "Hot dog". But what is the sense of it? Is it just my imagination or does Elvis sometimes sing a little bit unclear? Or maybe it´s just because I´m not used to this language any more... I hope that it will someday get better.

Hi
I always thought "hot dog" was an expression so I asked someone very dear to me and he said it means "something you can't wait to happen" so in this case he can't wait to see his love

[littlesister3]

I love this song! It is so upbeat!
Hot dog is an expression used in the US for Yippee or Yay or Hurray. He is singing about being happy she is coming back. When you are excited for something you say Hot Dog! I hope this helps.

[Nicole Presley]

Thanks spanish eyes & littlesister3!!! You really helped me. Now it finally makes sense in my head. Now I won´t understand it wrong anymore.

Hot Dog! is an American slang expression of joy from the '50s (perhaps earlier) akin to wow! He's extremely happy that she's coming home. Actually, littlesister3 came up with better words than I did, but you get the idea.

I was going to say too,that Elvis isn't calling his girlfriend "Hot Dog." It's just that he's happy that his girlfriend is comin' home.

I always thought that was like saying "oh geeee!" or something like it.

Quite a few years ago now my uncle,who died seven or eight years back was absolutely convinced that on the song "Lover Doll" Elvis was was actually singing "Rubber Doll"!!!....It makes me laugh still every time I hear it.....and to be honest...sometimes,even to me,it sounds that way!

Yes it does

I've been caught singing a couple of songs at the top of my lungs with the wrong words but I won't tell you about it...I still get teased.
