Whoomp There It Is was released by American hip hop duo Tag Team in 1993 and became a massive party anthem, topping charts and filling sports arenas with its chant. The phrase quickly moved beyond radio into stadiums, commercials and films as a shorthand for celebration. Decades later it lives on in short-form video, where creators use the two-second chant as an instant hype cue because almost everyone recognises it within a beat.
