Wikipedia
“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.”
Douglas has stated that he did not come up with the song's namesake phrase himself. The origins of the phrase have been disputed. Variations of the "Who let the dogs out?” chant are evident in regional high school sports, the oldest surviving footage of which is 1986 footage from a game at Reagan High School in Austin, Texas. In 1992, Brett Hammock and Joe Gonzalez also recorded a song called "Who Let the Dogs Out?” as rap duo Miami Boom Productions out of Jacksonville, Florida. In 1995, 20 Fingers and Gillette released "You're a Dog" in 1995 with a similar chorus.Following the success of the Baha Men version of the song, producers Patrick Stephenson and Leroy Williams said that they had previously written a radio promo for WBLK in Buffalo, NY containing the "Who Let The Dogs Out" phrase.
Well wow, I did not know that song had so much history to it.

Agreed. I guess that means off to Gehenna.

I had no idea it was about catcalls or men being dogs but I did view the lyrics as a metaphor for a situation or people that it is too late to be contained.
I am fan of the New York Mets baseball team and remember in 2000 when it became the teams rallying cry
Despite the Baha Men preforming this song prior to a World Series game the New York Yankees rudely put the Mets back in their kennal.
Oh well, maybe this year
As we have discussed at other times once artists let their creations to the general public people will misinterpret the songs meanings based on their priors. Nowadays it is much easier to find out the original intent.
