The Rock-A-Teens -- Woo Hoo

[vitoduval]

The first Daytona 500 was in 1959, Lee Petty won in photo finish, Taylor Bayne was the 2nd driver to the 500 in his first attempt in 2011

This is great psychobilly before its time!

[tippimail1]

I listened to this when it came out.Great song!Also loved the pics of NASCAR.

[RDK860]

The guy whose dad played sax for the Rock-A-Teens can tell you as can I, this song charted 10/5/59, peaked at no.16, and stayed on the charts for 12 weeks. It has one of the best drum solo's ever put down on wax!

[ObeyVonZip]

You get a like just for that real men and real cars line.

NASCAR is such a stupid sport, but I mean that in the nicest way possible. It's an American spectacle of excess and celebration our most basic primal instincts.

[rogerstill71]

...Homer Simpson's theme song?

[Vaicurious]

I love this nasty 50's shit, fuck yeah.

[scargriff49]

This song is still being played on Satellite Radio 50's!!!!

This song makes me wanna drag race out in the streets of my city for pink slips, YIIIHAAAAAA

[kmcc01]

Somehow this song fits the video very naturally. Was this a NASCAR race or a demolition derby?

[realgonzo1]

I hope hes getting some royalties, currently used in Vonage commercials and about 20 others. Copied by the Revillos in the 80's ( except they claimed it as Yeah Yeah )

Very popular and just Great

[mishamittens]

[redbosox]

One of my all-time favorite tunes! I love the raw sound this song has. Great video too! Perfect tune for this video. Thanks for posting it.

[NolifeRob]

I think the drum solo on this song leaves the one on "Wipe out" in the dust.

[computerpunk41]

@dumixandrei The Kill Bill version you're talking about is a cover done by The 5, 6, 7, 8's

I much prefer this version!

[flavorbud]

The making of this song is the subject of an article in STYLE, a weekly paper in Richmond, VA

[lobbebobbe]

var i sverige radiosignatur till programmet "ring a ding" vilket även står på omslaget till singeln (den som kom ut här) grön & roulette föresten låten var inte helt ny när den släpptes här

[imajika2]

Thank you for posting this! My father was the saxophone player for The Rock-A-Teens. I told him that his music was on YouTube and he said he never thought that his band would be on the internet. He was thrilled!

[JukeJointRebel]

Tell your dad that todays rock'n'roll fans are still rockin' to the Rock-A-Teens! Woo Hoo is one of my all time favorite songs.

[imajika2]

Thanks for the compliment. It means a lot to me and my dad.

[pankecitu]

@JukeJointRebel HELL YES, :p

[pankecitu]

@imajika2 :P yeah man this's music ;) congrats to your dad

[ttfozgreen]

@imajika2 my dad had the single and i played it non stop ! love it , i was 5 and it was the mid 60's when i heard this , too cool

[wrotenwasp]

Extremely cool video. Back when NASCAR had balls and wasn't a bunch of corporate stooges suckin' up to a bunch of yankees.

[theaznlvr]
