"A Hot Dog, a Blanket and You" (1931)


Gene Kardos is right back with another 1931 song, but this one's a stealth college song in that the title "A Hot Dog, a Blanket and You" conjures up more of a picnic in the park or at the beach à la "Hot Dogs and Sasparella," but it's actually about rooting for your college team while in the stands with your best gal!

So, without further ado, here's Dick Robertson with Gene Kardos and his Orchestra on Victor Records:


Snappy stuff!

I'm not sure if anyone else recorded the tune in 1931, but I think we're extremely fortunate that the Hoosier Hot Shots revisited "A Hot Dog, a Blanket and You" for this 1938 Vocalion record:


I love the Hoosier Hot Shots! Have I said that before?
