Playlist at Ravens' open practice in John Harbaugh's doghouse

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens invited fans as well as their dogs to Saturday's open practice at M&T Bank Stadium.

Naturally, the song "Who Let the Dogs Out" was played during the workout. It's not as iconic as the Pittsburgh Steelers' use of the song "Renegade," but it didn't sit well with Ravens coach John Harbaugh.

"We had to stoop to 'Who Let the Dogs Out,'" Harbaugh said. "That's a Cleveland Browns song."

That song by the Baha Men was once played frequently at the Ravens' stadium. It became the theme song for Ray Lewis during the Ravens' Super Bowl run 17 years ago, and the linebacker apparently invited the band to his parties.

But the Browns have adopted that song, which is an obvious fit for a team with a Dawg Pound.

"I don't know about '01," Harbaugh said. "I just know [the Browns] play it every time we go in there."

This is the first time the Ravens held the canine-friendly event, which was called "Burn, Brunch and Bark. If it happens next year, Harbaugh would prefer if the stadium adjusted its play list.

"I hate the song," he said. "I can't believe we played it. I knew it was coming, I knew it was coming."
