[1][2] It is also the title track of The Rock-A-Teens 1959 album featuring the songs: "Woo Hoo"; "Doggone It Baby"; "I'm Not Afraid"; "That's My Mama"; "Dance to the Bop"; "Story of a Woman"; "Twangy"; "Janis Will Rock"; "Pagan"; "Lotta Boppin'"; "Oh My Nerves"; and "I Was Born to Rock".

The song is distinctive for its lack of lyrics apart from its title words, which gave it popularity around the world as it is not subject to language barriers.

The song is featured in the end credits of John Waters's film Pecker.

[3] "Woo Hoo" was covered by the Scottish rock band, The Revillos, (under the name "Yeah Yeah"), under the same title by the French psychobilly (or as they say themselves, "yé-yé-punk") band Les Wampas on their 1988 album, Chauds, sales et humides, by the Japanese girl band The 5.6.7.8's on their 1996 album Bomb the Twist and as a dance/electronica track in 2005 by the American act The Daltronics.

The 5.6.7.8's version gained cult popularity when they performed it in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill Bill: Vol.
