I’m pretty sure there’s a Steve Miller Song with a pretty good, “Woo Hoo!” in it. I’m thinking maybe 'Jungle Love", but it’s probably something else. ---

Or maybe “Take the Money and Run”. Anyone else remember? The "Whoo hoo"s don’t appear on the lyrics sheets. ---

> [@Made in Macau](#): > > I’d love to include your entry Roland, but it does not meet the criteria. Oh, I see. My song isn’t good enough for your little clique. Clearly that extra “hoo” in there completely distorts the meaning of the all-too-poignant “woo hoo” lyric before it. Why don’t you just [step into the Pit](http://www.realultimatepower.net/index4.htm) and tell me how bad my song is THERE. I’ll be waiting. [sub]Just kiddin’. Guess I ought to read OPs more carefully.

Damn straight. I’d say that Dire Straits ‘Walk of Life’ goes ‘wu hoo’ as much as it goes ‘woo hoo’, but maybe that’s the Geordie coming through. I seriously appreciate the suggestions though. Thanks MiM ---

> [@Sam Stone](#): > > Or maybe “Take the Money and Run”. Anyone else remember? The "Whoo hoo"s don’t appear on the lyrics sheets. It is definitely “Take the Money and Run,” but I’m not 100% sure that they are certified woo-hoos as opposed to hoo-hoos. ---

Thanks Minnie Purl. Songs that go ‘Woo (or possibly ‘Whoo’) Hoo!’ are all I’m after. Though I like the 5,6,7,8’s song, it doesn’t fit. You see it needs to be an explosive woo hoo, an ejaculatory exclaimation - like Homer, like XTC, like Blur. The 5,6’s woo’s are in lieu of lyrics; they carry the tune. Jeez I sound like a berk. ---

Legolam - just listened to Barenaked Ladies - IT GOES “WOO HOO HOO!” Keith Urban is in but not a great song imo, but it fits the criteria! MiM ---

I’ll add The Shins’ “So Says I” to the list (a great song, by the way). Although it could be argued they’re going “WHOOO-OOOOOO!” sans “H.” ---

> [@Moonchild](#): > > BTW, what is the song on that car commercial (maybe a BMW commercial???) that begins with a very robust “Woo-HOO!”? It’s not the 5.6.7.8’s song, but another. If you’re thinking of the [BMW.com](http://BMW.com) short film “Star”, then the song is “Song 2”. I don’t really like the song, but the film is so amusing that I smile when I hear it anyway. It (the film) features a bitch diva “superstar”, played by an uncredited Madonna (how’s that for typecasting) who is driven to her “Venue” by **The Driver** (who appears in the entire series.) Only **The Driver** has a second client with slightly different agenda with a very amusing result. Stranger ---

How about the song from Rasing Arizona? I think Woo and Hoo are the only words. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/songs-that-go-woo-hoo/287303.md?page=1)
