OLDIES SUNDAY: Mr. G (Goofy) – Dog Bark (1996)

It’s a new month, and we want to start it off in a comedic way on “Oldies Sunday“. For today’s selection, we go back in time to check out Mr. G (also known as Goofy)’s single, “Dog Bark“.

Produced by Steely & Clevie on the “Colombian Necktie Riddim” and released through Studio 2000 in 1996, the pursuit of some loving is disturbed by a few things in “Dog Bark”. Mr. G pursues a young lady in this adventure, and they have decided to have some fun in the dark in a not so convenient space. Despite it being a spontaneous way of connecting, the disturbance of dogs and a furious weapon-wielding Father who believes in the security of his family take over the situation, and could end with Mr. G admitted to the Hospital, or laid to rest. Mr. G always delivered some of his music in a comedic way (thanks to his own vocal version of the Disney character “Goofy”), and “Dog Bark” was instantly met with positive reviews. It also gave the Deejay a #1 placement on Jamaica’s music charts, and its accompanying Llewellyn O’Reggio-directed Music Video further showcased his comedic side.

Since the release of “Dog Bark”, Mr. G continued to have a successful career throughout the 90s, 2000s, and beyond as a Recording Artist, and Producer. He has assisted in the development of a number of Artists, and is still actively recording, performing, and releasing music. “Dog Bark” is still loved and played by many today.
