Seriously, having “whoa” as the only lyric of a song you’re looking to identify would be like identifying a movie only knowing that a breast was exposed in it at one point. Myriad songs use some iteration of “whoa”, just as myriad movies show boobies. I don’t see how, other than by sheer luck, anyone could ID this song for you using the info you’ve provided. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > OP provided his interpretation of the melody upthread. You’re right, I missed that. In my defense however, he didn’t exactly provide much in the way of insightful clues. But knowing this now, I would have to at least alter my previous statement. ---

not found it yet. If you want a clue… When I try to figure out the note. I think It’s sounds like playing this using [Virtual Piano on this site](http://www.virtualmusicalinstruments.com/piano) (exactly for each note) uyyy yut uyyy tyu uyyy yut uyyy tyu uy uy uuuy uy uy It contain a word like “let’s go” or something like that before this wo oh oh part. But I think it’s not exactly ‘let’s go’ ---
