The weather is getting warmer, which means it’s officially Baha Men season here in the US of A! The Baha Men are perhaps the most important export we’ve received from the Caribbean, although not much is known about the group. Here’s a quick list on the mysterious men of Baha. It’s bananas!


1. “Who Let the Dogs Out?” isn’t what you think it’s about.

There are rumors on the internet that “Who Let the Dogs” should actually be “Whom Let the Dogs Out,” but that’s not the worst theory out there. The song is allegedly about ugly people at the club, dogs being a term used to describe someone with unattractive physical characteristics. This is incorrect, however. The song is actually about natural disasters and how dogs and other animals have demonstrated erratic behavior during earthquakes and tsunamis, such as running outdoors for no reason. Don’t listen to what critics tell you, this is what the song means.

2. The Baha Men have a very nice website.

The home base of the Baha Men is pristine in appearance and user-friendly in functionality. Check it out!

3. The Garfield Movie soundtrack is available at The Baha Men website.

There’s a fat, orange attention hog on the Baha Men’s website, but our President doesn’t have as much cattitude as Garfield! You can also purchase the soundtrack for "Shrek" and "Around the World in 80 Days." Oh, and the Baha Men’s music library is available too.

4. There are officially nine Baha Men at the moment.

This might seem like an arbitrary fact, but I’m fairly certain you didn’t know it.

5. There is no Baha Men movie.

Despite the Internet rumors of the alleged "The Baha Men Take Manhattan," a critically-acclaimed tour de force starring the Baha Men has never been produced. However, their music has appeared in some of the best films to grace the silver screen, such as "Rat Race," "Rugrats In Paris," and "Miss Congeniality." When asked to confirm that there is no Baha Men movie, each member of the group answered saying no such film exists, except for Hershel, who just looked down and laughed. What is Hershel hiding? I wonder...

6. Elton John is okay with the "Crocodile Rock" cover.

Perhaps the most underappreciated track by the Baha Men is their cover of Elton John's "Crocodile Rock." I like both versions, but oh my crikey did the Baha Men seriously do it justice. As Elton put it, "This is the bloodiest fire I hope is never extinguished. Oh my crikey."

7. If the Baha Men were a bit younger, they would be the Baha Boys.

This is just common sense.

8. I hope the Baha Men got compensated for "Who Let The Smurfs Out?"

Unless you live under a rock, you've seen this video of the infamous Gargamel busting a move to "Who Let The Smurfs Out?" I don't know if the Baha Men were given credit for supplying the original tune, but I sure hope so. If I include this weird Smurfs video on this list a very influential person will share it on tumblr and then many people will see it. I quit my job and need to get famous like yesterday.

9. You can request the Baha Men come to your neck of the beach.

According to their website, the Baha Men aren't too busy at the moment. For a guaranteed good time you can book the Baha Men on their contact page. Had I not quit my job to become famous, I would feel more inclined to drop some money to see the Baha Men bring good vibes to my town.


With this knowledge, you can now take the reigns the next time the Baha Men come up in conversation. It feels like everyday this happens.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
