Overall Meaning

The song "Digga Digga Dog" by Oren Waters features a repetitive and catchy chorus that involves the repeating of the phrase "Digga Digga Dog” and “You Dawg, You!” Throughout the song, Waters sings about the deceptiveness of appearances and the wisdom that dogs have that many humans lack. The chorus seems to express a sense of admiration for dogs, with Waters declaring “Digga Digga Dog” in rhythm and chanting “You Dawg, You!” The verses speak about how people underestimate dogs, and how dogs have their own hidden strengths and talents that people don’t always recognize or appreciate.


In the second verse of the song, Waters sings about how people think they are “so cool” if they throw a bone to a dog, but how they might be surprised to learn that the dog has a few tricks of his own. The bridge of the song refers to the folk rhyme that asks "How much is that doggy in the window?," and the verse mentions a "Spotted Dog" who has been to London to "look at the Queen". The song seems to be a kind of tribute to dogs, and to their ability to navigate the world with simplicity, grace, and an enduring sense of joy.
