Woo Hoo

Woo Hoo

:"For the Washington Mutual advertising slogan, see Whoo hoo!"Woo Hoo" is a rockabilly song, originally released by The Rock-A-Teens in 1959. The song is distinctive for its lack of lyrics apart from its title words, which gave it popularity around the world as it is not subject to language barriers.

Cover versions

It was later covered by the Scottish rock band, The Revillos, (under the name "Yeah Yeah"), the Japanese girl band The 5.6.7.8's on their 1996 album "Bomb the Twist" and as a dance/electronica track in 2005 by the American act The Daltronics. It was also covered by Showaddywaddy.

The 5.6.7.8's version gained cult popularity when it was featured and performed by them in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 movie "". The 5.6.7.8's version is also included on the "Kill Bill Volume 1" soundtrack. Additionally, it appears in the movie "Glory Road".

Then get a bed or a hottub, and put both of the male and female in there. Then do cuddle. Then do Woohoo. The one that will get woohooed can also deny getting woohooed.
