That track won a Grammy Award and became an international 40 hit in many countries while also being featured in several films. Later singles with significant airplay include "You All Dat", "Move It Like This", and "Best Years of Our Lives" among others. Yet their commercial fortunes came in fits and starts after the 2002 album 'Move It Like This'. While barely releasing any more material, they toured often during the past decade, finally becoming a dormant project over the past several years as its members pursued other endeavors. This changed in October 2015 when a rejuvenated group released the album 'Ride With Me'.

The lyrics of Baha Men's song "Scooby D" are quite perplexing, as they seem to jump around in terms of subject matter. However, a prevailing theme seems to be the beloved cartoon character, Scooby Doo. The lyrics begin with the iconic catchphrase from the show, "Scoobadeedoo, Scoobedooo, where are you?" From there, the lyrics mention "Bowwowo house," presumably referencing the character Shaggy's residence. The lyrics then jump around to "dog history," "ice chain car," and "say my name" before settling into the chorus of "Scooby doo yah, scooby do yah." The second verse talks about being "light on my paws," and mentions "cat claws" and being "hypnotized by a sound." The lyrics then describe Scooby as a "day on saves with pays me," which could be a reference to his job as a mystery-solving dog. The verse then disparages drugs as "crazy," and calls Shaggy "lazy." The lyrics then mention a "dog you shaggy coin yah never far overhaul," which is difficult to decipher. The song then ends with another chorus, ending with "ro to the left, omike a tight."
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what the lyrics mean, as they seem to jump around from topic to topic. However, it's clear that the song is an ode to the character Scooby Doo, and mentions other important figures from the show, such as Shaggy. The use of nonsensical phrases and wordplay can be interpreted as a nod to the show's comedic and often surreal nature. The second verse's mention of "cat claws" and being "hypnotized by a sound" may reference the show's villains, often masked in animal-like costumes. The lyrics' use of language may mirror the show's use of misdirection and red herrings in its mysteries.
