"Woo Hoo" is a rockabilly song, credited to Roanoke, Virginia country music DJ, Dick Moran, and music store DORAN records. It was later purchased and released by George Donald McGraw and The Rock-A-Teens in 1959.[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. It makes use of the twelve-bar blues chord progression, further adding to its accessibility. The song is featured in the end credits of John Waters's film Pecker.[3]
