Who really did let the DOGS OUT?

The song "Who Let the Dogs Out?" by Baha Men is a fun, catchy tune, but there's no real answer to who *actually* let the dogs out. It's a playful, nonsensical question meant to be sung along to, not answered literally.

The song's origins actually trace back to a 1999 Trinidad Carnival song by Anslem Douglas called "The Dogs" which itself was inspired by a Caribbean phrase.

So, in a way, the question of who let the dogs out is a bit like asking who let the cats out of the bag - it's just a fun, evocative phrase!
