‘Tropical Hot Dog Night’ features on ‘Shiny Beast Bat Chain Puller’ which is the album that turned me on to Beefheart. It would be a lot cooler to say it was ‘Trout Mask Replica’, but I’m not that old. So I got into everything else in retrospect. This particular track, along with ‘When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummy’, where probably the two most played tracks on this album in the hip bedrooms of Wallasey in the late 70s and early 80s. What I love most about this track is it’s organised chaos. It’s a psychedelic mambo the likes of which will never be equalled. It does go a bit weird towards the end though.
