• Anthony from New YorkThere are 2 things with this song I like to mention. First of course it’s about women or men being attracted to & chasing women which the singer seems to lament not actually brag about like some of you have observed. “Why must I act like that? Why MUST I chase the cat?”
  
  Secondly the phrase/lyric “Atomic Dog” I think signifies himself. He’s talking about himself in regards that human beings are the alphas in a household with dogs. Men & women are the leaders of the pack in our extended families with dogs or cats.
  
  We are the alpha , the “atomic” the Atomic Dog. The title of the song means to say he’s the head honcho, the Atomic Dog, head of the pack. Since no else here is mentioning this I thought I’d add it to the conversation.
• Johnny D.Stezo used the sample in "It's my turn". RIP.
• AnonymousSeems to be bragging that all men are dogs, how is that a compliment?

• Vaughn from New York, NyJust a general thing. Have you noticed that every site that claims to have the lyrics of this song misses one verse? its something like "Untied Dog part of a Dogmatic society. Ain't your ordinary hound". Then the rest of the lyrics? I am not sure of the actual lyric and I tried to look it up but not one site even mentioned it?

• Brian from Newark, NjI was part of a nationally ranked collegiate ultimate frisbee team in new york during the 80's-90's that adopted 'Atomic Dog's' as our official team name now recognized world wide.
  we still like to rock out with the ladies, get downright nasty and even throw the disc now & then with old friends. Peace out space bro!
• Horace from Western, MdThe lyric "why must I chase the cat? must be the dog in me" is a sly way to talk about guys chasing ... well, a not nice thing to call a girl... think about it.
• Alex from New Orleans, LaI think MC Hammer sampled this in "Pumps and a Bump".
