Stephenson and Williams allowed Douglas to record the song and have said they didn't "take care of the business" of legally protecting the song. Douglas's brother-in-law was the host of the Toronto show and encouraged Douglas to record the song. However, Douglas has said "I never told anyone, 'Hey, I came up with the phrase.' Never did, 'cause I didn't." In late 1995 or early 1996 Patrick Stephenson and Leroy Williams, two producers who worked for Wreck Shop Radio out of Toronto, wrote a radio promo for WBLK in Buffalo, NY containing the "Who Let The Dogs Out" chorus. And then a woman shouts out, 'Who let the dogs out?' And we start calling men dogs. The men started the name-calling and then the girls respond to the call. '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 'Yippie-Yi-Yo,' that's everybody's happy, right? 'And everybody was having a ball.' Life was going great. The lyric of the song says, 'The party was nice, the party was pumpin'.' When I said the word 'party' I was being metaphorical.
In an interview that was published on his website, he said: Douglas himself claimed that the song has nothing to do with dogs and actually has a feminist theme. "Who Let The Dogs Out" is a cover of the 1998 song "Doggie" (or "Dogie") by Trinidadian calypso/soca/Junkanoo artist Anslem Douglas. Management had the vision, and the Baha Men were reluctant, but the group went in and recorded it anyway." Isaiah heard the song and said there was 'no way in hell we're recording that song'. He called Isaiah and told him it was an absolute must that Baha Men record that song, because they had the vibe to make it a huge hit. "The manager of the Baha Men at that time heard a version of the song from Europe. Baha Men member Dyson Knight explained to Vice how the band came to record the song: The song is written in the key of C major. In 2019, an eponymous-titled documentary about the creation of the song was the surprise hit of the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas. "Who Let the Dogs Out" became a prominent feature of Bahamian popular culture and was the subject of a major lawsuit over copyright ownership that was settled. The track went on to win the Grammy for Best Dance Recording at the 2001 Grammy Awards. In Britain, it was championed by DJ John Peel and went on to be the fourth biggest-selling single of 2000, and one of the highest-selling singles of the decade not to reach No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as topping the charts in Australia and New Zealand, and reached the Top 40 in the United States.

The song, released on 26 July 2000, became the band's first and only hit in the United Kingdom and the United States, and it gained popularity after appearing in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and its soundtrack album. He brought the song to the attention of his friend Steve Greenberg, who then had the Baha Men cover the song. Originally released by Anslem Douglas (titled "Doggie"), it was covered by producer Jonathan King who sang it under the name Fat Jakk and his Pack of Pets. " Who Let the Dogs Out" is a song performed by Bahamian junkanoo band Baha Men.
