Lyrics:
All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts
And they're coming round the track to haunt me.
When she looks at me and laughs I remind her of the facts
I'm the king of rock 'n' roll completely
Up from suede shoes to my baby blues
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
The dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step
You were never fleet of foot, hippy.
All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street
For the vision I have had is sweeping
New broom, this room, sweep it clean
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;

Some observations after coming across this for my first time moments ago: 1. Where has this been my whole life? 2. This is just the right amount of kooky. 3. I want to live inside this music video. 4. I think this song just saved my life. 5. There is the exact right amount of Albuquerque in this video. 6. I freaking LOVE everything about all of this. 7. I seriously thought I was hallucinating when I first watched it. 8. I am so glad these wonderful people had the audacity to make this fine art. 9. This song/video is sheer genius. 10. A novelty song about a fictional novelty song performer that doesn't sound like a novelty song. Brilliant. 11. This seems like someones fever dream that magically got caught on camera. 12. I really wish I'd seen this back in the day so I could have gone years without knowing anything further and just enjoyed the mystery because I'm about to go down the rabbit hole deep on this.

Enjoy the rabbit hole! The Thomas Dolby-produced trilogy of Steve McQueen/From Langley Park to Memphis/Jordan: the Comeback ranks among the best all-time pop rock imho. The right combination of great musicianship, complex, often jazz-inflected arrangements, catchy choruses and brilliant lyrics that few bands manage to achieve (Steely Dan come to mind as another example).

I lived in London and met a guy from Albuquerque. Imagine my joy when he invited me to his motherland and I finally got to sing "hot dog, jumping frog , Albuquerque" to some bewildered New Mexicans on a Saturday night in the city centre.

The song and video feel like a jolly teenage anthem, much like the Happy Days tv series (which the band must have seen while growing up), but there's an undercurrent of sadness to the lyrics: "All the pretty birds have flown / Now I'm dancing on my own". The rift between glam illusion and sad realities, or between hope and betrayal, is a recurrrent theme in their songs.

Yeah, you can tell this is a digital recording, there's no way they would have got it to sound like this the analog way (practically no natural reverb, all notes are basically start-stop and even Paddy's voice sounds a bit like a ghost, there are no low frequencies to it). I figure this too helps to create the feeling of a big, sunny landscape with no edges in space and time...

Or the show doesn't get renewed. Oh, I'm not here from the show, I'm here from the late 80s (I think) when the song was released. Sounds as good now as it did then. Great music on the programme as well.
