The Hot Dog Song

"The Hot Dog Song" (also known as the Mouskedance in Season 1) is a song performed by They Might Be Giants and Mickey Mouse at the end of each episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, as its celebration dance and closing song. Before the end credits, Mickey and the gang conclude every episode by performing the Hot Dog Dance to this song, with every character having a different dance move. And when Mickey's friends, except him, leave the Clubhouse, it disappears and Mickey stays behind and signs off by thanking the viewer for visiting the Clubhouse. 
The song's name echoes Mickey's first spoken words in the 1929 short The Karnival Kid. Extended versions of the song have been released on at least two different albums: Playhouse Disney: Music Play Date and Disney Junior DJ Shuffle. The version on Playhouse Disney: Music Play Date runs 2:27, while it was shortened to 1:43 for the DJ Shuffle version.
The song got a re-introduction in 2019 with the third season of Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures.

==Trivia==
*Each character has a different variation of the Hot Dog Dance:
**Mickey swings his body back and forth while swaying his arms and kicking his feet out.
**Minnie pushes her arms out and kicks up her heels.
**Goofy flaps his arms like a bird while squatting up and down and kicking out his legs. Pete or Clarabelle sometimes mimic this dance whenever one of them joins in on the Hot Dog Dance.
**Donald swings his arms back and forth while hopping on his feet, Clarabelle also mimics this dance.
**Daisy sways her arms side to side while snapping her fingers, and leans her hips to the opposite side.
**Pluto squats up and down while leaning from side to side.
**Toodles moves side to side and then does flips before moving side to side again.
*In some episodes, the recurring characters in the show would on occasion also join in on the Hot Dog Dance, such as Pete, Clarabelle, Ludwig Von Drake, (the first time that the three appears on it was in Mickey's Great Clubhouse Hunt), Mortimer Mouse, Chip and Dale, Santa and Mrs. Claus, and Toodles (who permanently joins the gang in the dance on Season 4 and onwards and leaves with them after he flies out the Mouskedoer).
*The song has two intros: One showing the Silly Switch, Mouskedoer and Picture Puzzle celebrating which is used most times, and one showing the Sensational Six entering the clubhouse through the front door if the dance begins while they weren't in the clubhouse at the time.
*In the episode Mickey's Message from Mars, it was referred to as the Yumblatz Dance (Martian Mickey's word for a hot dog).
*During the interruption in Season 1, Mickey would give a short recap of the Mousketools used in the episode shown on the Mousekedoer. From Season 2 to Season 4, the recaps were moved to the end credits, so the protagonist of the episode would thank the viewers for joining their adventure (if Pluto is the main focus of an episode, he barks along with the tune).
*In Season 1, the characters do the Hot Dog Dance to the closing theme as the credits roll, then do a pose at the end. making it the last of the celebration.
*This is the closing theme for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
*In Season 1, the Mousekedoer remembers all the mouseketools Mickey and his friends have already used.
*In Season 4, Toodles joins in the dance, standing between Pluto and Minnie.
