Never have the Baha Men sounded so nefarious
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fortunately it's been a few years now since singing greetings cards were a thing, exiled to a pile of early 2000s tat with Billy the Big Mouth Bass, but lord help us if they ever assemble and stage a Toy Story-esque coup, because time has rendered them absolutely terrifying.
One mum and dad's simple happy birthday wish was transformed into a soul-piercing yell into the beyond thanks to the card's dying batteries, with a video of it being uploaded to YouTube with the title 'Singing Greeting Card from Hell'.
The Baha Men's timeless 'Who Let The Dogs Out?' suddenly becomes very threatening, the beat of the song staying oddly up tempo but slowing whenever the chorus line kicks in.
It's as if the rappers are demanding to know who unleashed the hounds, and the person responsible will pay in blood.
'Can I get a woof woof?' the card asks. No, but you can pay for the weeks of therapy this is going to take to forget.
