EnVogue - Those Dogs

[bluenote]

This was an album track from their 2000 release "masterpiece theatre."  This song sampled the song from the theme from the classic film "Carme Jones."  I wish they would have released this as their 1st single, maybe they wouldnt have flopped so hard. This was always my favorite track from this critically acclaimed album.

Lyrics:
En Vogue - Those Dogs Lyrics
[intro]
I’m not much in to dogs and they’re not in to me
That’s my history, I can’t change it now
Cuz those dogs are still on the prowl
(chorus)
Dogs are puppies, they grow up wild
And they don’t do what you want them to
They treat you nice just to get a prize
And once they get it then they’re through with you
Get your digits to call you back, you never hear form them again
that’s wack!
He tells you, your the only one that’s fact
Then hits your friend up behind your back
(chorus)
He asked you out, to see a show
And lost his wallet, how he doesn’t know
He asked you if, you’d pay the bill
He’ll pay you back, oh yea I bet he will
(I bet he will) I bet he won’t
He’ll probably use it for a pack of smoke
(a pack of smoke) you know the kind
It makes you tipsy like a bottle of wine
They like to bite, they like to fight
They like howl at every girl in site
They like to beg, they like to whine
They like to smell at every stray behind
A stray behind
(you know the kind, they’re big and round and they’re easy to
find)
Easy to find
(they are for dogs)
Cuz for a dogs life it’s a world of fun

This would've done much better as a lead off single I think. I still would've gone with "Love U Crazay" (although I wish they spelled the word "Crazy") for the first single. "Love Won't Take Me Out" could've been a great follow up to either.

I know! This was the only song that jumped at me when I first heard the album. it was hot and the track and production sounded realy up to date and "hip" for them compared to the rest of the labum. I would have taken out those no name rappers and put some1 known in it though and that would have been the 1st single. I think Destiny's Child could pull this song off nicely.

[Me. I Am Justin...]

The best song from Masterpiece Theatre.

I love En Vogue, but this was their weakest album.

I did not like this cut.

Other than "Riddle", there were only a few other songs I liked on it.

[Bob]

it has novelty value but of course when it comes down to it it's crap

I listened to this again today. They worked with Bobby McFerrin on this. It's pretty impressive what he does with a cappella music. I don't think there are any instruments in the song at all, including drums.. if there are, it's very little. Cool, huh?

I think the 2nd rap is Terry.
