Details:
Chicago pop band bee is releasing a new version of âThe Theme From Hot Dougâsâ (the official theme song of Americaâs most famous gourmet sausage haven) and all proceeds will to go Intonation Music Workshop (IMW), a Chicago nonprofit that provides free music education to kids in low-income and dangerous neighborhoods. Doug Sohn, who is on the IMW Honorary Board and has been a generous benefactor, is donating a weekâs worth of proceeds from his âCelebrity Sausageâ to IMW, but heâs teamed up with bee to create an opportunity for people to get a little bit of Hot Dougâs and help IMW âwithout having to wait in line for 90 minutes,â as Sohn says.

bee faceman Nicholas Markos elaborates, âIf you canât make it to Hot Dougâs during the IMW Celebrity Sausage week, you can still make a difference by buying the song, and youâll get a catchy pop song for your iThing.â Adds Sohn, âDonât be a cheap weasel--itâs for the kids! Not your kids, but . . . . All kidding aside, Iâve seen what the IMW program does, and itâs tremendous.â

Written by Markos specifically for Hot Dougâs back when it opened (and there were no lines!), âThe Theme From Hot Dougâsâ has been re-recorded, and the new version features Chicago native and superstar drummer Todd Sucherman (Styx, Brian Wilson) and was mastered by Grammy-nominated mastering engineer (and Tie Records founder) Marcos Sueiro. Somewhere near the nexus of The Ramones, The Strokes, and the early Who, itâs two minutes of pure pop hooks and energy.
