About this album
What Up, Dog? is Was (Not Was) at their most ambitious and accessible, sharpening their surreal humour and genre-mashing instincts into a punchy 1988 album. Blending funk, soul, electronic textures and house touches, it turns oddball satire into something genuinely catchy, with the breakout single Walk the Dinosaur giving the group their widest exposure. The album follows the Detroit band’s earlier cult-favourite work and shows how their playfully chaotic style could still land as polished pop. Its mix of sharp hooks, ironic storytelling and danceable grooves made it one of the band’s best-known releases and a strong late-1980s crossover statement.
