Skewing toward social disDancing songs, I would love to see a hot dog attempt Joy Division's Isolation.

Zander Schloss, Salsa y Ketchup (CW: video is a scene from Alex Cox's Straight to Hell & there's some gruesome movie-western imagery in the background.)
Rufus Thomas, Walking the Dog (or maybe Somebody Stole My Dog)

Who let the dogs out

If you capitalize WHO you can say that the World Health Organization has determined that dogs are not a vector for coronavirus and therefore any quarantine on them should be lifted (I did not make this joke up but I like it)

Since you're going to go all-in on Rufus Thomas, you wouldn't want to overlook 'The Dog,' ''Walkin' the Dog Pt. 2,' and 'Can Your Monkey Do the Dog.'

I mean it’s not hot dog themed but if a hot dog was strutting down my steeet to RuPaul’s “Supermodel” it would greatly brighten my day.

This ketchup song! And there's this great mashup with the Beastie Boys which I think would be very popular.

If you never want to listen to it again in your life, understood, but... Uptown Funk?

Completely off the hot dog theme but.... “Can’t Get Next To You”?

OK, so walking around wearing a hot dog costume is pretty surreal already. I encourage you to lean into that and play "Cheeseburger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffett.
