Whoomp! - 1993 single by Tag Team

"Whoomp!" is the debut single by 1990s rap duo Tag Team, written by members Cecil "DC the Brain Supreme" Glenn and Steve "Rolln" Gibson. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B chart and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1993. "Whoomp!" reached multi-platinum status and broke records for the number of consecutive weeks in the top 10. Though Tag Team is considered a one-hit wonder, as their subsequent singles did not find the same success, "Whoomp!" has remained a pop culture staple with multiple placements in film, television, and advertisements. The song has also endured as a mainstay at sporting and arena events.

I don't know why, but this song always reminds me of Space Jam. It's not even in the film.

Every time I hear this, I remember there were two "there it is" songs release in 1993, the other being "Whoot There It Is"

I forgot about that one!

This song came up on my local's trivia the other night. The question was what is the name of the group. They played the song, and they say their name very early in the song. Too many people got that one wrong.

At 0:07 and 0:17.

Awesome that you caught it!
