It actually goes way back than all that... if appeared in Jazz songs in the 40's and if I recall correctly Southern University was the first know football team to use it way back... it was used by LSU and Saints. Bengals offically adopted Who Dey in 81 but Saints and Louisiana Schools were using it way before then Saints adopted it as our chant in 83 officially but as I said it goes way back.

Right on the mark. BTW the Bengals Who Dey chant started from a local Cincy commercial.

Folks just find it hard to believe that the two chants actually have independant origins. But they actually do. Neither team stole it from the other, though they are both eerily similar.

The phrase was widely used by Bengals fans in 1981.
The phrase was widely used by Saints fans in 1983.
