'Hot Dog' is a recorded song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the Out Door. A fun, rollicking tune done in the style of a country hoe-down, it features some Elvis Presley-like vocals from singer Robert Plant. The song was influenced by American Rockabilly music. It emerged from the band's London pre-production rehearsals, at which it was typical for them to run through old Elvis standards from the 1950s. The lyrics are about a girl in Texas who 'Took my heart' may have been based on a real woman in Plant's life, but he called this a tribute to Texas and the state of mind of the people who lived there. Plant also mentions the name 'U-Haul' in one of the song's verses, referencing the American-based, 'move-it-yourself' company. The title of the song Hot Dog, refers to a distinctly American cuisine.
