Can anyone explain to me why I am watching postgame footage on FOX Sports of The Bengals locke room and they are chanting WHO DAT? WHO DAT? WHO DAT GOING TO BEAT THEM BENGALS?? I don't know, I had a few beers during that awesome Saints comeback, but what is that all about? Am I hallucinating? Did anyone else see that? Help me out here. I would really appreciate if anyone else who knew anything about that could comment.

It's who dey.
It’s a knockoff of Who Dat.
Brees gonna throw down the Saints... Wide open Devery Henderson! Nobody's within twenty yards of him! He could do the backstroke into the end zone from there! And he'll take it in for a seventy-five yard touchdown strike!

but Cincy fans claim they were saying "Who Dey" before we started using "Who Dat"

And Joe Rogan claims we never landed on the moon. So what?

I wasn’t around early enough to know for sure, but I think what happened is that Who Dat was used — but not widely enough used — first. So when the Bengals were pretty good in the eighties somebody came up with their version, it sounded nice, and nobody cared that it was a knock-off of something another team’s fans were already using. Just not very much (unfortunately).
I really don't care who said it first - if you like it, scream it in support of your team!!

Pretty Lame
now I am rooting for Cincy to get to the Super Bowl so the Dats can kick the Deys butts!!! Gimme a break, Who Dey?? That’s really annoying. Get your own identity!!!

I think our "Who Dat" is safe.
I have heard game announcers referencing the “Who Dat Nation.” I wouldn’t worry about it much. If the Bengals end up facing us in the Superbowl they’ll probably change their tune to, “Screw Dat!”
Fat, dumb, and happy. Hell, two out of three ain't bad!

If a Who Dat vs Who Dey Super Bowl is meant to be ...
how fitting is it that the half time act will be the friggin’ WHO?!?!!
"I was not on the boat in question." -Darren Sharper
Wikipedia credits the Saints’ adoption of Who Dat as 1981, but that’s incorrect. It wasn’t until Louis Oubre was there the following year. It was an old St. Aug cheer that he got going in the locker room after the Saints beat the 49ers at Candlestick. He, Brad Edelman, Frank Warren and Ivan Neville recorded the 45 RPM single a week or so later. The Bengals cheer started in 1981, the first time they played the 49ers in the Super Bowl (January, 1982). So technically, they beat us to the punch by a few months. They really have nothing to do with one another, though, and go back much further than that on both sides outside of football.

It’s amazing how you come up with this stuff. Kudos, bro.

I think the confusion comes from the punctuation... ;)
The Louis Oubre story makes a lot of sense—I’ve always heard that it was a St. Aug cheer from the ‘50s. (Probably a bit of word play on the old N’awlins musicians’ chant: “Where Y’at?” Then ya get “Who Dat!”)
Cinci comes from Who Dey? (As in Who Dey? To think dey can beat our Saints!!!) I think they might have had a couple of St. Aug players up there at that time, too—but dem folks had more than just a bit of trouble speaking Y’at!!! ;)
We are da WHODATS!!! (Exclamation point trumps question mark, AND NOBODY trumps a WHODAT!!!)
I’ve been calling for a WHODAT!!!-who dey? SuperBowl for a couple of weeks—posed it in a few places. Could be as loud & crazy as a Grambing/Southern Bayou Bash.
ESPECIALLY in the 4rd quarter when da who deys? start slinking out of the Stadium to cries of :
WHODAT!!!
WHODAT!!!
WHODAT!!! TALKIN’ ABOUT BEATIN’ DEM SAINTS!!!
WHODAT!!!
WhoDatus Kickus Rumpus!!!
