This morning of 9 July 2025, while taking a shower, a song suddenly popped into my head. Not just any song. But that song my youngest brother used to sing out loud in the most unexpected moment. Which is Who Let the Dogs Out, song by Baha Men, year 2000 [1].
I remember it so clearly. I had just picked up our 8th brother from primary school and was riding the motorcycle home, with my youngest brother (9th) sitting in front of me. We passed a house with a dog out front. And out of nowhere, he belted the song at the top of his lungs. I can’t remember exactly what lyric triggered him, but it was loud, enthusiastic… and terribly timed (or some might say accurate).
There I was, riding, internally panicking, hoping the dog wouldn’t chase us down the road. Meanwhile, he was happily crooning without a care in the world. Judging from the year the song was released, year 2000. My little brother must have been around 3 years old then. Too small for school, but already a performer in his own right!
It’s funny how songs carry memories with them. It was like little bookmarks in time.
Until then, have fun rediscovering old tracks and the stories they quietly carry along.
