Woo! Yeah!

Woo! Yeah!

Woo! Yeah! is a sample of James Brown's voice that has been repeatedly used in popular music, often in the form of a loop. It originates from the 1972 Lyn Collins recording "Think (About It)", a song written and produced by Brown. The original recording, which predates modern sampling techniques, used a tape loop to repeat Brown's exclamation during a break section. In the original recording the order in which Brown says the words is actually "Yeah! Woo!"; the order of the words was reversed later by sampling artists.

"Woo! Yeah!" was probably first used as a loop by Roxanne Shante but got major airplay and attention used as the backing loop for the platinum selling hit "It Takes Two" by MC Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, which took its title and chorus from the first lyric after the "Woo! Yeah!" loop.
