Upon its release in 2000 "Who Let The Dogs Out?" by Baha Men earned a place in pop culture infamy almost immediately. The single from the Bahamas-based junkanoo-fusion group's album of the same name was a surprise hit in the UK and across many other parts of Europe, and became an immediate staple of children's movie soundtracks, sporting events, and really bad standup comedy bits, subsequently joining the ranks of other blink-and-you'll-miss-it "Worst Of All Time" ranked one-hit wonders as "Crazy Frog", "What Does The Fox Say", and innumerable others.
It is with this in mind that we made an attempt to critique Who Let The Dogs Out? the record on its own merits, joined by return guest and Old Men Yell At Cloud co-host Jim Schultz. Between drunkenness, exhaustion, a lack of available information about the group and the album, and a general sense of mediocrity beyond the infamous title track...well the important part is an attempt was made.
Join us as we listen to Who Let The Dogs Out? and talk about the origins of junkanoo music, the praises of Imani Coppola, big bowls of chili, Reginald Matrix, and other forays into madness and idiocy on our part.
