VICE out here doing what MTV should be doin.
You're comment is sooooo underrated
👍
@@rinaalmero2644 so true
MTV is more dead than my grandma.
MTV died along side the History Channel
"this song ain't about dogs"
"this is our nickelodeon kid's choice award."
That reminds me of when The Weeknd won a kid’s choice award for a song talking about his face being numb from cocaine
What's done is done!
I carley was fucking the same tv producer that got Zoey 101 pregnant.
His name was Dan Schneider
Nickelodeon was fucked up from the start
@@lilkingspade yes, much deeper than that
@@VerbalGOAT I know. I know a lot of it. What's the worst thing that you're aware of?
Maaan... These Vice stories of how songs were made are starting to get addictive! I really appreciate how they dig in to these old classics we've all kind if put to the back burner and how when they explain everything it almost makes you feel you are right back in that time enjoying it again!😄👌🏽 Super cool. These guys deserve more recognition for these inciteful vids bruh.
same, man! this is where we see that these multi-million dollar records started from scratch, crisis, and gamble
seriouslyyy! i was thinkin to myself i would like to watch this on mambo no.5 too xD
I am so glad Anslem Douglas got the credit and spotlight he deserved because as a Caribbean American kid I was very familiar with the original before the Baha Men came with their cover. Also him trying to describe a sketel will live in my head.
Yep, I was a college student in Canada in the 90s and we sure danced the hell out of the Anselm Douglas version. I never quite liked the Baha Men version...after the original version, it seemed rhythmically dumbed down.
*THANK YOUUUUU!!!* I always *HATED* that stupid Baha Men bullshit version.
I find the way it became a success very interesting. Playing in the sports staduims. And so many versions of the hook. Wow. And yes, Anslem Douglas really made a great song.
@@shethingsd
the various artists claiming ownership of the hook is like Disney trying to copyright someone who made a movie titled "Frozen".
🇹🇹
The video that no one asked for but it's the video everyone needs
The video everyone needs is the damn truth! American's are dying and Vice calls them white supremacists! Wake up!
about the song no one asked for but the producer thought the world needed
Did you also randomly thought about it and this came up cuz that what it did for me
Facts
😃true
Rugrats movie is the reason why I loved this song so much as a kid. It’s dope to see the process behind it
Same here!. Rugrats introduced me to this song as a kid
I miss the days rap/pop could be played in kids movies. It's now just violence or something sexual or both.
1999 was a great year
@@johnwinter2252 My dude, have you never heard old school rap? You think it started clean? LOL. Your comment makes you sound like some out of touch boomer.
How my 5 yr olds were just introduced to the song too lol I heard it on Radio Disney 🤗💜
I weep for the kids who will never experience such simple times.
Oh boy...Barbie girl, crazy frog, avril lavigne, britney spears...Those were the days
Yes, weep for me. I live in a constant state of suffering. The world is burning all around me. Politics, climate change, lacks of human rights, etc. weep for me and weep with me

I'll weep for you for buying into the climate change agenda.
@@gaulishrealist exactly what is the agenda
@@veenoir1991

I remember hearing this song on Nickelodeon when I was like 7, and I loved it. I ran outside and told my friends about it, but my Trinidadian friend just went "yeah dude, that's an old ass song'' lmao
I can't even get my friends to meet at Starbucks but apparently in 1998, organizing a multinational quadruple platinum pop culture hit was 1 obscure web reference on a barely functioning prototype browser and a phone call away.
The internet was useful back then. Ask Jeeves was the bomb!
You need better friends that have like goals and want to be something one day
It was. The internet used to be something with a weird vein of magic. It can still be, sometimes. But back then, it was people. Now it's people / corporations. Mostly corporations. There's no way to fake that grass roots punch up.
Huh? The internet was invented in the 1960s. Nothing "prototype" about browsers in 1998.
@@RealMTBAddict thanks Sir Nothing "prototype"
Good to see Anslem Douglas get his part in the story! A legend!!
Was just listening to the Who's Kim remix by Miss TC and Anselm
We have him to thank x
He has an ear for good music. Spent his resources to pursue it. He located the Baha Men and reorganized the group and came up with a massive global hit. All made good money with that hit single. That's courage and intuition.
Meanwhile the former lead singer of Baha Men missed out of the money and fame because he quit just before the winning jackpot ticket was picked.
That Nehemiah Hield part of the story is a whole 'nother documentary!
He had to keep it pushing for it to end up this way and give the new three young men their journey. This was not part of his alignment whether he knew it or not. He had his own journey and maybe he's successful in his own way--whatever that means to him. Maybe not fame & Fortune but maybe through true love and a good family or just freedom🤷🏿♀️. Don't feel bad for him, he had his own journey.
Nobody knows the future.
He could've quit the band, and the band's plane crashed a month later.
Then you would be saying, how smart and lucky he was to quit the band.
I love that there was no ego whatsoever. Everybody was willing to do their bit to make it a hit and that’s it. Not to keep elbowing others to be the face of the hit.
The lead singer that left has gotta be pissed. 3x Platinum 😳
4x Platinum
Reminds me of the guy who paid for a Pizza with 70,000 Bitcoins back when Bitcoin first was a thing

This Steve guy has real determination and vision. WOW. Can't imagine the balls it takes to give everything up because you believe in something that much. RESPECT
I thought the same. But then I wondered how many Steves failed it and ruined their career cuz they turned down the label 🙄
@@Ri-bg9di true! Still nice to see his success tho. Good for him
@@Ri-bg9di that's what separates the best entrepreneurs, you can't take no for an answer, and you have to always keep adapting until you're a success
They're boomers so it wasn't a huge risk.
For real
My dog reacted to Steve's bark like its a real dog. Props for that detail.
My cat did too! She was looking around searching for the dog 😅
Lol, same!
I am happy Anslem Douglas get the credit & respect for his song
"We need someone to sing this"
"How about the guy that wrote and performed the song?"
"Nah!"
My mom went on vacation in the islands and came back singing this crazy song that was totally not cool at that time(insert teenage eye roll) then a year later and were all singing it ... This song makes me miss her like crazy and think of all the times with the windows down and the song way up.
This is a lovely story and I'm sorry for your loss ❤️
She got some special down there😅😅
"the islands"
Greats series. I want to see one with Afroman with the songs because I got high
Would be fucking awesome, but he didn't have a machine behind him. So chances are slim. Self produced, self written.

Heard that song once... and I was hooked lol
He has a pretty wild story from moving to LA and becoming a Crip. But the song got huge after it got picked up by radio stations and Howard Stern in particular. Before that he was just selling CD's with the song on it at his concerts. I feel like it's one of the first songs that became super popular around the world from being shared on the internet alone. I remember hearing it on the radio then downloading it on Napster lol. It went number one on billboard in a lot of countries. Would definitely love to know more about the background of it though
I was living in Barbados when the original "Who Let The Dogs Out" was a huge Carnival, Kadooment, Party, Fete and Radio hit. It was massive for a long time. I moved back to London at the end of 99 and I was surprised to hear the newer version and how popular it was in around 2000/2001. This documentary is amazing.
So who really let the dogs out?
@@TheRealCaptainFreedom It's answered in the doc, didn't you watch it?
As a Caribbean man, I appreciate this. I remember hearing this as a child but now I don't know which version I heard. I always thought there was only one song 😄
Facts. This was very eye-opening on culture/business.
5:15 the way you just explained what "ask jeeves" was seriously just aged me.
lol, same
I feel very attacked 🤣
He did a good job of setting it up, my guess was alta vista 😄
"Early search engine in the late-90s" aged you? Thx, I feel dumb now, but I don't get it. Explain?
@@udkc just the fact that they had to explain what ask jeeves was
These guys got my respect. It's one of the biggest hit songs of all time. It's been played to death but I still like it because of how much happiness it brought me as a kid. I remember it was actually one of the first albums I got as a child
Used to love this song as a kid in the 90s i still remember when it blew up and it was so contagious
Facts 🤣
these stories (and the way they are told) can make you love a song that you hate ... AMAZING.
My sympathies to all who now have this song stuck in there head, and that includes yours truly.

When the guy came in at 6:44 playing jazz chords while singing "Who let the dogs out?" I totally lost it
Me too! I let out a big cackle 😂
I really hope these artists are reading the comments for these videos. There's always so much love, respect and gratitude being expressed. Thanks Baha Men and the producers for such a fun song and Vice for doing these videos.
finally we can get the answers we've been searching for decades
Yeah. Very true. All those unanswered questions.
But really want to know is who made that song hey
But we never found out who actually let the dogs out.....
@@andyp743 It was an inside job Kyle did it case closed

Wah Gwaan, the song was fya!
242 big up caribbean for real!
@@NoKapprio You KNOW THAT!!!
The song was trash. It was a gimmick for the pale
Let me tell y'all something. The Caribbean is the cradle of creativity fuh real, hear? We come up with songs/ dance/ food/ literature/ plays/ expressions and make trends without even trying hard. The challenge is getting the right people to pay attention. The lesson is making sure we can be found. I love that the producers went to the islands to get the REAL deal and also respected the original version/ writer.
And VICE, keep these THE STORY OF coming. I ♡ them. Subscribed!
Your stunning little Islands have done so much its unreal, the birth of sound systems in London England and the butterfly effect has been incredible, from the 80s to now its a dominating ingredient and inspiration for a lot of what's going on! Love from South London!
I love how they all understand they played an important role but couldn't have done it alone.
Fascinating that previous musicians had already used that hook and lyrics as early as the 80's. Almost like a "collective consciousness" thing.
like who?
Yeah that fascinated me too
Here's the best version IMO:
ua-cam.com/video/VO2G2TbI-9M/v-deo.html
that was so cool!
Collective consciousness! Very real 🙂💜
Promoting it to the sport stadiums was genius!
We'll never know if that hook existed for even hundreds of years before the 1980s, but this is a beautiful story. Thank you from Trinidad & Tobago.
I have really enjoyed these deep dives into hit songs from my youth.
I used to live in Baltimore, Maryland and would go to the Ravens games. This song would always play in the stadium and get the fans riled up!!
Let’s go bmore!!!
I used to work there for several years if you bought a custom Jersey I probably made it. They're only two of us that did it. Only half of the basement of the stadium is developed. It's interesting the first place we end up when you walk in is the merchandise area and then when you go down farther eventually on the right they'll be the entrance where the players come through the locker room the cheerleaders would be hanging out there. But when you walk down instead of heading that direction you went to the other side eventually the concrete just stops and it's just dirt and you can just look up in all the stands and walk around the entire place it's all dark and post apocalyptic with empty popcorn machines that are all junk it's a really weird place. But you can walk around half of the stadium underneath all the stands and it's just this big void like being in the middle of nowhere and it's really loud too that was really fun. Then there was one time Will Smith and Jada came I didn't meet them but I did deliver some stuff up on the box level but then I was a radio that someone snuck a gun into the stadium so we are all looking for this guy. Eventually they got him. It would blow your mind what happens behind the scenes at a NFL game. It's actually much more interesting than what's going on the I've worked for the Redskins too. Actually I forgot about this story. So me and my friends had a case of beer that we were going to drink because we got off at halftime and we were going to bring it in and watch the game because we could get in through the employee entrance without being searched. For some reason we kind of split up between rows of cars and this guy comes running out with a radio and what looked like a gun and put me on the ground and started taking everything out of my pockets and I was like I work here and he was dressed very official like like he definitely looked like a security guy so I was just like chill out and then my buddy who was massive I'm talking 250 lb plus and not fat... big came out of nowhere knocked this guy on the ground opened up the case of beer and just started smashing them on his face. He was yelling that's not a security guard get to the f****** car. Man he must his f****** face up. I didn't have any cash on me anyway so he definitely chose the wrong guy to Rob.
Me too lol
This was the ravens Super Bowl theme song
Same, but Pittsburgh. GO STEELERS :)
I was a kid in the 90s who loved this from the rugrats movie . And my parents are from Trinidad so I loved all versions of the song man , grew up with the Soca 98 version as well
when i was 4 years old i saw these guys perform at the macy's thanksgiving day parade on tv and i asked for their cd for Christmas, sure enough i got it and it was the first album i ever owned!!!
Yes Big up to ANSLEM DOUGLES the originator of this song. This is a Soca Song from Trinidad 🇹🇹.
@UCbhEbMex-DKOX6pbUMZWcfA lets try this again. If you watched the interview and also properly read my comment it states the original song which they is what the baha men COVERED is by Anslem Douglas a TRINIDADIAN who released it for TRINIDAD CARNIVAL in 1999. The rights to commercially DO OVER the song was sold to an American record label who HIRED Baha Men to sing it. Please respect the facts as my post was geared to give Anslem his flowers which clearly does not happen enough. But big up Baha Men same way for making it global.
@@wevibe4811 Was just about to type that in the comment section. When this song released in Trinidad i remember it shaking up the whole island. Cat, Dog, Snake and Frog was wining low when Anslem released that song....thats a FACT
@@keroncoward1 YES exactly. Anslem deserves his flowers. Not to take nothing away from Baha Men but we been fighting and waiting too hard for Soca Music and Soca artist to recognized for the origins to not be be fully acknowledged.
Facts!
Booo hooo take your L.
Anselm douglas really do take alot of the credit for the songwriting... The lyrics were meaningful but delivered playfully, which sometimes is the recipe for a global hit! I.e outkast hey ya
Y'all don't wanna hear me, y'all just wanna dance.
The vision, the guts and the level of 'insane' you need to have faith in something and drop everything that was 'safe' and just dive right in..effing kudos, Steve. 👏🏾
I needed this.
I'm impressed by that man's conviction and refusal to backdown
I have no clue why i love this series so much but I am almost always on the verge of tears after watching because the videos are always so beautiful.
I can't be the only one who had a smile from ear to ear the entire video. Thank you for that. Please do chumbawumba tubthumping next!
I was in the Bahamas when this song came out. It was on in ever taxi, bus, bar. I was so sick of the song after the first day. I said to myself, "this will never make it in the states."
Six weeks later, the dogs got out.
That was Bahamian Pride you heard when you were there. Tbh, a lot of us Bahamians didn't like hearing it so much, bc as Isiah said, they weren't a cover band and were not new in the music biz. Bahamians were proud that they finally got international recognition. 💗💗🇧🇸🇧🇸
The Baha Men were seriously underrated even before this they had some great tunes like Land of Sea & Sun and Island Boy, great island beats!
Thank you for the recommendations, I'll check them out!!! :D
I wanted to let you know I listened to both these songs and loved them! I especially liked Land of Sea and Sun and listen to it pretty often. My very beloved hamster Waffle actually passed away around the time I got to listening to it, so the lyrics make me very sad and miss her 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Thank you again for the recommendations
This is insane I literally woke up this morning and randomly decided to look up and played this song. While listening the thought came to my head wonder if this will ever get an episode on that behind the story show 🤯🤯
I need the music industry to care about tracks this much again 😭
omg, i remember this song lol when i was 10 years old, now im 31 years old. luv these back music stories
man i feel so happy for them, they all seem like great people who deserved their success
In the late 90s early 2000s this was one of the biggest hits in Miami
Lived in Miami during this time, can confirm lol.
I feel like it was everywhere, huuuuge in Toronto too
@@nyankittycharliedude it was all over the world, it was huge in my catholic primary school in the uk. it isn't a regional thing
@@AlexRoseGames everybody bumping it in their cars, at the beach, stores, bars/clubs for a few months every dang day is a lot different than some kids talking about how cool it is at school lol.
@@rks5457 nah he’s right, it was huge everywhere. that same shot was going on in every city across america lmao
This is fucken crazy how far it went back to the 80’s
So "Who Let The Dogs Out" is the verbal equivalent of that S thing that everyone around the world drew in school
I didn't need to know about how Who Let the Dogs Out came to be and who made it possible. I'm happy I know now though. They seem like a great group of guys. It's so cool to see people from different cultures and different parts of the world, who came together to make this song possible. Kids these days will never know what it's like to have huge hits like these. Songs come and go just like that in today's music. Back then all we had was radio and cds. So when a song was a Hit, it was a HIT! It was everywhere.
I love watching these documetaries behind the hit. Gives you a different and interesting perspective. There's always an interesting story behind every hit song.
These videos about the story of hit songs from the late 90s and 2000s are by far the best Videos Vice produces rn.
We need a story of Kevin Lyttle "Turn Me On".. Make that happen please.. For the Caribbean diaspora 🙏🏝
That song is annoying as hell... dude sung through his nose...he sounded unctuous...😑
@@vienogola1421 your opinion.. but I'm sure that's not what major artistes like Chris Brown were thinking since this song was sampled many times over.. 🤷🏾♂️
@@vienogola1421 So funny because I used to think the same thing when I first heard it. I absolutely hated the song, but once I saw how hyped my older sister and her friends got when it came on I learned to appreciate the beat and began to love dancing to it. Now it just brings back great memories. I’ll never forget how confused I was as to how it was so popular at first though😂
check out the Sean Paul one they put out a few weeks ago if you haven't already.
@@thestormlscoming Yes I have.. Love it!! Which is what inspired me to make this request
Now that's some great storytelling.
The part about the origin of the hook was really fascinating.
Crazy to think that phrases just spread through culture like that.
What a amazing story of how far they had to go to put together and find talent back then. Before in midst of the new internet era at that. You had to know people that knew people to get anything
It's all about who you know
Any kid born around 1995 knew this was the jam back then. 😭🖤
glad they brought up the Rugrats movie cuz that's how I discovered it and as a kid I remember hearing it everywhere after that, a true classic record really
I grew up watching MTV and they had these inside interviews with bands and musicians. I was wondering when someone would bring it back. Thank you!
It reminded me more of VH1's 'Behind the Music'.
Love this series. Would love to to see…
1. Bobby McFerrin- Don’t Worry, Be happy
2. Go West- King of Wishful Thinking
3. S Club 7- Never Had a Dream Come True
4. Hanson- MMMBop

7. Tears for Fears- Everybody Wants to Rule the World
8. Sixpence None the Richer- Kiss me

Definitely one of the most recognizable pop music songs ever.
I have been dropping this track in the mix since it’s release in so many nightclubs Always well received. A few years ago I Djed a 16th birthday for a friend of mine’s daughter And all of a sudden the family dog starts barking during the track. I videoed that moment. That was priceless. Thank you for the Baha men for this gem.
I remember this playing on the radio while playing at the beach as a little kid late 90s and early 2000s were dope af
3 things we may never know in life:

2) what does the fox say
3) who let the dogs out

To be fair 1 and 2 are answered in each of the songs
Only real ones know about hey
Yeah the rest of that spice Girls song was explaining what they wanted.
I could've figured this person was a female with a dog avatar from only reading the text. Am smart.
@@magnetic0314 Not regarding foxes; they're only "theories" for what sounds foxes make (according to the writers, who obviously are comedians).
But you're all wrong. These questions are all answered.

3) Capitalism and left over culture from back in the day when women had no rights. The dogs will most certainly crawl back into their pens, slowly but steadily, as humanity progresses.
(Hai, I am the autistic kid that can only think of things in a literal sense ;*)
This is my four year olds favorite song right now. She has to atleast listen to it once a day.
"Who Let The Dogs Out" is a catchy song and I appreciate the massive hit that it became but "Doggie" will always be first and foremost in my memory because I heard it first and it was a big hit on Caribbean music radio stations. I was actually shocked to hear such a similar song (but with less percussion) seemingly years later.
it’s always sweet to see how long music persists i was working a kids summer camp this summer and a 5 year old did a ballet routine to this song for our talent show lmao
I remember when I first heard this in the radio on my way to a sleepover. I was just a kid but this song brought so much joy in my childhood. So cool to see the making of this track. Brings me back to good times!
This is hands down the best VICE series ever.
Like many entrepreneurs who have a vision, this story is inspirational and motivational. This serves as yet another example to never let ANYONE shut you down or prevent you from pursuing something you truly believe will be a success.
and now the song is a staple when talking in terms of era defining moments and will forever be cemented in the history of that decade. Crazy how things work out.
*All that memorabilia just sat in a metal shed. COME ON MAN!*
Lol like Eminem said:
And so I’m artist of the decade, I even got a plaque
I’d hang it up, but the frame is all cracked
Am I seriously watching a 26 minute documentary on the Baha Men??
as a Trini woman I love this lol I KNOW Nehmiah feeling sick that he gave up that opportunity
This is a wild one! 3 new frontmen in the band… Rejected by London Records… and they have a global success… Amazing!
This guy's storage unit is ridiculous lol
Right I wonder what the back story on that!!!
The Trini version by Anselm Douglas is a banger. Best version imo
Agreed
I remember when the Baha Men version came out. Good times! I wish they went more in depth about the production of the music on the track, but this was interesting to hear more of the backstory of the tune.
I remember seeing these guys live at a resort in Barbados a years before this song came out when I was a kid, they were really good mix of their own stuff and covers. Great band.
As a first generation American-Trini growing up in Orlando I can remember listening to all my white friends and classmates in 3rd grade singing this song an feeling prideful. They had no idea what they were saying on the verses though lol.
Oh my god, this series is almost like a tribute to the teenage years and the twenties of the millennials. I hope this series continues. It's amazing to finally see the back stories of the songs that were on the airwave all the time.
I remember seeing this song on the rugrats and loved it ever since. So I go into my son’s(ages 4 & 3) room tonight and I just yelled out 🗣 “WHO LET THE DOGS OUT” and instantly they both said 🗣”WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF”.
MY mouth DROPPED. I never once played that song around them so I’m wondering where they heard it from lol. This is one song that will live on for generations.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 and I hope that they will make it seem as if they are talking about actual dogs lol😂 (for my children’s sake)
What an incredible story! 😮
Remember when I was a kid when this song came out , heard it playing at disney world at a live show. Rest is history
21:11 "They worship that sh*t to the core!" Dude is the realest.
This is so true
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Vice for giving Anslem Douglas his due!! The originator himself!!
“Dreams do come true. It’s corny but it’s true”❤️💫🙏🏾
This was my favorite song when I was 5 years old. Used to hear at all the stadiums and arenas and high school games in Grand Rapids, Michigan back in 2000-2001. My mom bought the Baha Men album when I was 5 and that was the first CD I ever got.
Anslem is a good brother has a big heart .I wrote a song for him once. He paid me handsomely never forgot that
And has an amazing and powerful voice.
I just love this song man, my teenage years clubbing.... Still sounds sick man 😂❤️
I've always heard that the song was written by a Caribbean artist for carnival but I never new the full story. Cool
Wondering why they didn't just approach Anslem to sing the song because he had the original? I don't really know how this business works though. Love this series, it's really cool.
they mention it a fair amount, they wanted some guys who looked 'young and cool', unfortunately image can be a big part of mainstream success
SUCH A GREAT VIDEO. Had me giving the whole time. The moment when you guys played the bark, and then the acapella beginning of the song hit…. Ohhhh man my childhood came back.
I was a 1995 kid
I drove my family nuts listening to this song on repeat. Still have the CD.
This was our go-to song back in school when we used to go for school picnics, bus rides & more!
Love from Bangalore, India!
