Garfield: The Movie

[edit]

Dont forget that this song was also in above movie. So who let the dog out


There is also a song called "Who Let The Hogs Out" by the Electric Amish http://www.electricamish.com/ which has been played on the Bob and Tom show. I don't see it on their discography at present. 209.43.9.71 04:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)Michael Z. Williamson[reply]

Mitt Romney

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]

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]

Feminist song

[edit]

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.

Songs with feminist themes category

[edit]

(Following on somewhat from the discussion immediately above) Binksternet removed the category Category:Songs with feminist themes, with the comment not actually a feminist anthem, just claimed. I couldn't see a justification for this "actually", so restored it, with comment if the songwriter says the song has a feminist theme, I'm not clear on what basis we would exclude it from that category?. Binksternet reverted my restoration, with the comment revert per WP:CATDEF. Secondary sources are the defining factor on Wikipedia, not primary claims by involved persons. To avoid the risk of ending up in a revert war, I've brought it here.

As far as I can see the article already had at least two secondary sources mentioning its identification as a feminist song: [1][2] and none saying it is "not actually" feminist.

In case those are inadequate, I've added three more sources: [3][4][5]

So I'm failing to see the "Secondary sources are the defining factor on Wikipedia" argument against including this category - it seems to be several secondary sources agreeing, all I can see against is one editor's opinion of "not actually". Can anyone clarify, or can this category be re-added? TSP (talk) 20:54, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was under the impression that the only support for the "feminist" aspect of the song came from involved people talking about it. Sources such as your linked ScreenRant piece do not wholeheartedly call the song feminist—rather, they relay what was said by Anslem Douglas, the songwriter, and then they distance themselves from the narrative by saying "apparently". But your linked Revelist piece shows career journalist Mandy Velez affirming in her voice that the song is feminist, so that satisfies WP:SECONDARY for me. Binksternet (talk) 22:08, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, re-added. While I think some of the sources like American Songwriter do just report Douglas' opinion, as you say I think Revelist is pretty clear; as is Cracked in its title. And I think I'm correct in reading in Screenrant that the statement at the end "Looking over the lyrics with this in mind, it all makes sense" refers to Douglas' position that it is a feminist song. Anyway, if you're happy, I am too. TSP (talk) 22:29, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
