What was the 2000's One-Hit Wonder song "Who Let The Dogs Out?" really about?

submitted by Mcheetah from self.AskSaidIt

My elementary school students just discovered "Who Let The Dogs Out?" and now it's their new shit. They sing this everyday. But in addition to never finding out who did let the dogs out, we never really knew what the true message and intent of the song was before it started getting played at baseball games and became a kiddie bopper. The music video has women shaking their titties in it and all, so it was never really meant to be a kid's song. Several theories were floating around back in pre-social-media internet what it was really about, but what were the song lyrics really about? (Also, as an aside, no one really likes any part of the song besides the chorus. You know, the actual verses?)

So what was "Who Let The Dogs Out?" about?

  1. Ugly women and Karens at the club (the "dogs" being these females.)
  2. Misogynistic men mistreating women at the club.
  3. Furries.
  4. It's literally just about dogs escaping a kennel.
  5. The song has no true meaning; it's just words and a catchy rhythm.

I actually thought it was about guys catcalling at the club.

Seeing that the song and genre of music is complete shit and horrible. And that is was written by no talent jumping monkeys who dance in front of another talentless guy playing with a computer, I'll go with number 5.

Music is like candy, you have to throw away the rappers.

It's about jezebel. She was a satanist in the Old Testament that was eaten by stray dogs. The song symbolizes how women are evil and fear dogs (aka judgement from god) .
