Certainly that's what I thought anyway. And then I was promptly corrected. That is not what the song is about.
I think the reason we think that is because nasty men have been saying that phrase, who let the dogs out? And so we thought maybe that's what the song was about because of this being a sort of street insult. But in fact, the song is actually the other way around.

It's told from the perspective of women at a party where some rowdy, rude and unpleasant men come in and ruin the party and they are the ones saying, who let the dogs out? So all along, it was actually... you know, maybe even a feminist track that got hijacked. And there I was participating in this misinformation.

So I do want to issue a retraction, not least because, you know, it's the Baha men's biggest song. I'm sure they wouldn't like to be misrepresented. But also any man who sings that song in a derogatory way, you are wrong.
