If I remember correctly, he was also very young when he and the guitarist started playing together, yet he more or less had that voice. He also looks much younger than he is (or he did. I'm not sure what he looks like now.) I was a freshman in college when that song came out and I remember thinking "he's just a little kid! How does he have that voice already?!"

[@cwalker6911]

[@benhatcher2603]

It’s a man-bashing song. I’ll tell you why. The lyric of the song says, "The party was nice, the party was pumpin.'" When I said the word "party" I was being metaphorical. It really means things were going great. The "Yippie-Yi-Yo," that’s everybody’s happy, right? "And everybody was having a ball." Life was going great. "Until the men start the name-callin’ / And then the girls respond to the call." So the men started calling the women “skank” and “skettel,” every dirty word you can think of. The men started the name-calling and then the girls respond to the call. And then a woman shouts out, “Who let the dogs out?” And we start calling men dogs. It was really a man-bashing song.

[@Quvan]

They missed an opportunity to do a follow up song called, "Bring in the Cats." If you know what I mean.

[@BloodNote]

[@Anaphriel]

Sarah H Kind of agree, but...The exposition at the start of the song is basically saying that guys in the club were acting like dogs, so women were shouting "Who let the dogs out?"...the dudes got offended, and were told "It's all part of the party"...then at the bridge, the singer states that he's a dog as well (in confusing writing) "If I was a dog, can't see color, any color will do, I'll stick on you, that's why they call me pitbull" etc. The way I see it, is he's basically saying, get them around women and guys will act like dogs, and women realize this. It may be a call for men to act better, but for the most part just seems to be a catchy way of pointing out what we already know.

Random guy on the internet Lol.

[@izzymarrufo1653]

Yeah, usually the last year of a decade always manages to merge into the first of the following decade. This is why some people mistake some things from the late 80s with the early 90s, and late 90s with early 2000s and so on. (Sometimes people weren't even born at the time so, they have to rely on what outside sources say. Or, if like myself (I was a teenager then), one may remember things clearly but not in complete absolute order as they occurred.) Sometimes I have to refer to Google to put some chronological order to my memories of things. lol Like, Santana's Supernatural feels more 2000s-ish to me but it was released in 1999. And Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory always feels more 90s-ish to me, but it was released in the year 2000 (late* 2000 at that). Y'know. It happens.
