Who Let The Dogs Out?

"Who Let the Dogs Out?" is a song written and originally recorded by Anslem Douglas (titled "Doggie") for Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival season of 1998. It came to the attention of Steve Greenberg, who produced it with a group he was promoting called The Baha Men. The trailer used on Disney's Snow Dogs, Good Boy, The Shaggy Dog and Open Season 2, The Baha Men covered the song and placed it in the movie Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and on its soundtrack album and then released it as a single in 2000, when it became the band's first hit in the US and the UK. It reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom. It was the 4th biggest-selling single of 2000 in the UK, and went on to become one of the highest-selling singles of the decade not to reach number-one. It was also a big hit in Australia, where it reached number-one. The track went on to win the Grammy for Best Dance Recording on the 2001 Grammy Awards. It was the subject of a major lawsuit over copyright ownership that was settled.
