Haha yeah, that's bugging me too. I'd forgotten what a jam that actually is, even though it was everywhere at the time. The cover of one of my middle school yearbooks was "Whoomp there they are" lol. Even teachers knew Tag Team!
Seventh grade, the end of gym class. Our teacher called all of us over to say something. One girl came running over, grabbed her friend's shoulders from behind, and said, "Whoomp!" as she jumped up, to scare her. The teacher just looked over and said, "There it is," and a bunch of twelve and thirteen year old kids had their entire worldview challenged.
I hate this song with a passion. Not because it's a bad song - it's not. It's catchy and fun as hell.
But the school bus driver played music for us, and when this song came it IT WAS THE ONLY THING THEY WOULD PLAY. THE. ONLY. THING. EVERY. DAY.
You get off the school bus in the morning after hearing it at least three times only for the kids to start shouting it all the way into the school, all through the halls, into the classrooms.
You walk to the school bus in the afternoons and kids were shouting it through the halls, outside to the school buses where the bus driver already had the song playing before you got on the bus. Then I had to ride the hot-ass bus for about 2 hours to get home with this fucking song playing the whole time. I had headaches every day when I finally got home.
These three words when you're gettin' busy: Whoomp there it is.
Are they claiming whoomp isn't a word, or can they not count to four? Considering the song's title is Whoomp (there it is), then if whoomp isn't a word wouldn't that make the song untitled?
I heard this for the first time in years, Wednesday at the pool. The teen guards play playlist curated by the Gen x manager. It took me a minute to place it. Made me smile!
