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.

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

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.

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🤷🏿‍♀️.

[@jonathanperry8331]

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.

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.

[@Whyamiherel0l]

I need the music industry to care about tracks this much again 😭

[@MissBrittanyboo2191]

This is my four year olds favorite song right now. She has to atleast listen to it once a day.

[@OGHOMERPIMPSON]

i saw how long this was. was in doubt i would watch entire thing. Enjoyed every second. Now i just feel old af

[@jeneamcdonald6861]

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

[@ricogoldstar]

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.

I used to sing "two idli dosa"..i didn't knew actual lyrics.but I loved it..When I was around 9 yrs old..Now I am 30..

[@TravisMagus]

When I was a kid I used to be so fascinated with VH1s behind the music. I loved the stories about the musicians and the atmosphere behind each song ... The story just adds so much to the music... I didn't care who the artist was as much as I wanted to know the story behind the hit songs... Thank you Vice for bringing that childlike fascination back once more. A lot of Magick goes on behind the scenes in those studios 🧙‍♂️🔮🪄

[@oscarwamburi9420]

Im the guy..... I love the behind the scenes of anything in life....the process part

[@petirgarda1005]

Oh man, i almost forgot about VH1 ! thanks for reminding about that channel. Great times back then for music.

[@antjacksonjr]

I agree. I love learning about the events and process that lead to making a global hit.

[@NASkeywest]

Yea lots of dark Magick.

[@jayo8506]

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.

[@BootsORiley]

everything from these "The Story of _______ by ___________" has been amazing, so i'm sure this will be as well.

[@MsAgentprovocateur10]

"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.

[@gigachadd_slu]

We need a story of Kevin Lyttle "Turn Me On".. Make that happen please.. For the Caribbean diaspora 🙏🏝

[@vienogola1421]

That song is annoying as hell... dude sung through his nose...he sounded unctuous...😑

[@gigachadd_slu]

@@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.. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@samanthacruz7867]

@@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😂

[@thestormlscoming]

check out the Sean Paul one they put out a few weeks ago if you haven't already.

[@gigachadd_slu]

@@thestormlscoming Yes I have.. Love it!! Which is what inspired me to make this request

[@estherwilliams7005]

That was such a ride. There were ups and downs, there were twists and turns. I am so happy the story has a happy ending.

[@CJ-gy8ie]

Just do yourself a favor and DON'T wiki Jonathan King...

[@icanwatchthevideos]

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.

[@p0rt13r]

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

[@Ricardo242-y2l]

I've always heard that the song was written by a Caribbean artist for carnival but I never new the full story. Cool

[@TheI465]

This is an amazing story I remember hearing the song over and over again. But the history of the song is really great.

[@dougfisher6017]

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.

[@thelucky1]

This is such an amazing series, thank you very much, i've loved every episode so far and i'm looking forward to many more!

[@Max_Marz]

Really really loved this. The 1980's stadium moment was really surreal though, I wish that was unpacked more in this video.

[@DogofRaw]

I don't know how many people here are from the Bahamas but Nehemiah Hield was the man with the original Bahamen. They were on the soundtrack to that movie My Father My Hero. This really makes me miss my childhood.

[@niigenius6467]

I love this series. It encourages me to believe in myself and never let others opinions determine my chances of taking risks.

[@moyo6606]

So "Who Let The Dogs Out" is the verbal equivalent of that S thing that everyone around the world drew in school

[@0poIE]

*All that memorabilia just sat in a metal shed. COME ON MAN!*

[@ShottaKenya]

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

[@FuriousImp]

Vice, you've done it again. In one word: beautiful!

[@Ri3hy]

The Trini version by Anselm Douglas is a banger. Best version imo

[@beyourself2444]

Agreed

[@phillymac242official8]

This really make me proud to be a Bahamian, was a little kid when this dropped💯💯💯💯

[@viewer1338]

Its always the most classic hits thats got an amazing back story
