Mitt Romney

This probably isn't notable enough, but if anyone's interested, Mitt Romney apparently thinks this is a hip and trendy song. http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/01/21/romney-who-let-the-dogs-out/ Reminds me of that McDonalds ad where they used the phrase "I'd hit it" referring to a cheeseburger, not realizing that the phrase means "I'd have sex with it." 153.42.168.174 (talk) 19:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics

What is the song actually about? 99.247.1.157 (talk) 00:03, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Who Let the Dogs Out" was also in "Men in Black II". Will Smith returns to the car, where he left his alien partner, a talking dog (a Pug). He discovers the dog singing/barking along with this song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.92.213.214 (talk) 00:03, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Documentary tracing back the origin of the song

Noting in passing that there is a documentary entitled Who Let the Dogs Out wherein a person researched the origins of this song.[1] Interestingly (for navel-gazing purposes), his research began when he tried to find information to add the surname of a person referred to as "Keith" to the Wikipedia article about this song. Risker (talk) 03:08, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've added this report as an external link. Some of it could probably be incorporated into the article, but I don't have time at the moment. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:58, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, an episode of the podcast “99 percent invisible” covers the story: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/whomst-among-us-let-the-dogs-out/ //Knuckles (talk) 06:35, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm, which is already added as an external link in the article.. saw that just after posting my comment, sorry. Knuckles (talk) 06:38, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Moved (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 05:39, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Who Let the Dogs Out (song) → Who Let the Dogs Out – I don't know exactly why this is not at the base name, but it is clearly the primary topic.[2] (CC) Tbhotch^™ 04:47, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support move. This is as close to TWODABS as you can get without actually having only two topics. O.N.R. ^(talk) 09:12, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support, obvious primary. Good call Tbhottch. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Indeed. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 13:25, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Since there are technically 3 topics, I suggest the prior short disambiguation page be restored and moved to Who Let the Dogs Out (disambiguation) upon closing. -- Netoholic @ 20:23, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - It appears that the two other articles both cover subjects which were named after this article's subject. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 14:05, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support The song is the primary topic. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 10:38, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Feminist song

Besides the reference that was removed without explanation in this edit, with an invitation to discuss this on the talk page (so wait, why do I have to start the discussion when sourced information is being removed together with the source?), also at least one other of the already established references in this article calls it feminist. I am putting that categorization and text back in, as it is not a single source this relies on anymore. Why would we remove the reference from that quote? --denny vrandečić (talk) 21:56, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think it is necessary, or helpful to readers, to insert that claim in the opening sentence of the article - rather than referring to the claim, in a more nuanced and balanced way, in the body of the text? It is not open to dispute that it is a "song". It is open to argument whether it can neutrally be called "a feminist song against catcalling", simply because that is one claim made for it. The song has a very complicated origin and history, and it does not give the correct balance to be too specific about its meaning in the very first sentence of the article.
