WHERE YOU'VE HEARD THEM
It's more like where you haven't — their
infectious ''Who Let the Dogs Out'' is this year's novelty anthem.
SECRET HISTORY
Bassist Isaiah Taylor formed the Bahamas-based
group 23 years ago under the name High Voltage. ''Dogs'' combines
radio-friendly hip-hop beats with traditional island junkanoo,
which uses goatskin drums, whistles, and cowbells for its
playful sound. (P.S.: The ''canines'' in the background are the
boys in the band.)
GOOD SPORTS
Baha Men performed at game 4 of
the World Series, and recorded a special Mets version of ''Dogs''
for New York radio. Despite becoming a huge stadium hit, ''Dogs''
hasn't left the Baha Men rolling in dough — the ditty was penned
three years ago by Caribbean musician Anslem Douglas, who shares
the royalties with publisher Deston Songs.
WHAT'S NEXT?

single ''You All Dat''; opening slot on 'N Sync's winter tour.
