Apologies in advance, but what is that song they play at sporting events that goes (and these are the exact words): Whoa-oh-oh-OH-oh Whoa-oh-oh-OH-OH-OH-oh-OH-oh Whoa-oh-oh-OH-oh It has a vaguely techno beat in the background. That’s all I got. Thanks for your help! ---

It’s not the one that goes… Whoa-oh-oh-ooohhh-_HEY!_ Is it? ---

**Baltimora** ’s “Tarzan Boy”, perhaps? ---

You’re probably thinking of “Rock and Roll Part II”, by Gary Glitter. ---

I was thinking Paul McCartney’s My Love, but that’s definitely not techo-y. ---

I’d bet anything that it’s the song either BY Zombie Nation, or called Zombie Nation. It’s the Boston Bruins goal song. Upon further review, it seems to be called Kernkraft 400, and it is by Zombie Nation. ---

It’s the Gary Glitter song. That guy sure loved his kid porn. ---

If it’s the one I think it is, the Mariners use it wen there’s a home run. It’s not Gary Glitter, it’s some kind of techno-like thing. ---

I know Rock & Roll Part II by Gary Glitter and this is not even close. It’s twice as fast and is an actual chorus of people saying “Whoa-oh-oh”, etc.) ---

HAHAHAHA! Yeah that’s the one. I just listened to a clip at Amazon. (Off the Stadium Rock compilation CD, no less, heh.) Thanks Flymaster!
