[Lady Gaga - Poker Face](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESGLojNYSo) Just to clarify, does the song literally contain “Whoa oh oh oh…” or are you just using that as a stand in for the actual words? And can you give us a hint? Male or female vocal? Guitar, brass, synth? ---

I think the song you’re describing is by the same artist that has that song that goes like, “Baby baby” “Baby baby baby” “Baby baby” I forget what his name is tho. ---

Good luck. “Whoa oh oh” is called the “millennial whoop” due to its excessive popularity in modern pop music. You’re going to have to narrow it down more than that. FWIW, my first thought was “California Gurls” by Katy Perry. ---
