When Greenberg presented the idea, group leader Isiah Taylor, 50, rejected it. He thought the song was too Caribbean for the American charts. He was probably right. The original version was a soca (soulful calypso), a horn-heavy, up-tempo form that is played at Caribbean carnivals across the U.S. every summer but has never really caught on. When Baha Men finally recorded Dogs, they explored beats more familiar to American audiences--throwing in some junkanoo (Bahamian festival music) percussion to give it their signature flair.

...solid beat - they swing, in fact - and in each number some distinctive solo instrument rides clearly above the mix, carefully placed, articulating the hooks. (Take a listen to the acoustic guitar in this segment from "Uptown.") One of the most interesting components in the Wall of Sound is the horn section, which modulates through the chords without accent, like a pianist who hits a chord once and then holds down the reverb pedal until the next harmonic shift. Other elements define the beat but the horns provide an invisible wash behind everything...
