Whoomp, There IT is!

*The Stryker* · 08-31-2009, 04:01 PM

In 1993, Legendary rap group Tag Team released their timeless classic "Whoomp, There it is". This song touched millions across the globe and I'm pretty sure it cured cancer in Harlem.

One question that still lingers after all these years is in the title of the song. What exactly is 'IT' and why does the arrival of this 'IT' cause such happiness?

Technodrome, your theories!

Maybe IT is the ultimate knowledge, the reason why we're all here. They knew something we didn't, and instead of telling us about, they pointed us in the general direction so we can find enlightenment ourselves.

*XERO* · 08-31-2009, 04:07 PM

Yep, and all they had to sacrifice was their rap careers.

Maybe that's what IT was.

Party people
Yeah Tag Team music
In Full Effect
That's me DC the Brain Supreme
And my man Steve Roll'n
We're kicking the flow we're kickin' the flow
And it goes a little somethin' like this
Tag Team back again
check and direct and let's begin
Party on party people let me hear some noise
DC's in the house jump jump rejoice
There's a party over here
a party over there
Wave your hands in the air
Shake your deriere
These three words when you're gettin' busy
Whoomp there it is
Hit me

Upside down and inside out
I'm about to show all you folks
What's it's all about
Now it's time for a brother to get on the mic
And make this mother party hype
I'm takeing it back to the old school
'Cause I'm an old fool who's so cool
If you want to get down
I'm gonna show you the way whoomp there it is
Let me hear you say

Whoomp chak a laka chack a laka chak a laka chak a (repeat 4 times)

Point blank gin and juice I drank
Gettin' bent and bent and as I puff on a dankt
Rock a mic
uh oh I crave skin
Rip ****
find a honey to to dip it in
Slam dunk it stick it flip it and ride
That B double O T Y oh my
Ooh thats it come on come on
Whoomp there it is
I'm done

Some say I'm crazy
Cause I'm pushin' up daises
The underground sound that you have found
Amazing outstanding demanding
Commanding you people dancin'
**** that's a breath taker
I produce AKA the undertaker
You want to come down to the underground
Old school - here's a shovel can you dig it fool
Can you dig it
we can dig it
Can y'll dig it
we can dig it

W H double O M P as I flow
To the fly **** from the school of old
Hardcore keep the folk lore wreck
Three to the two and one mic-check
Mad skill flow ill on the mesh of steel
That's the grill of the microphone I just killed
Party people it's your party Tag Team is through
Whoomp there it is I thought you knew

Yeah Tag Team music comin' straight atcha
That's me DC the brain supreme
And my man Steve Roll'n
Bring it back ya'll bring it back ya'll bring it back
Here we go

Whoomp there it is

Ha Ha! Great song! Shock a locka shock a locka
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, booty. That is what "it" is.
Or should I say, "...B double O T Y..."
And also... I don't know about you, but the arrival of booty brings a smile to my face. Whoomp there it is!

I think you're giving Tag Team too little credit. To think that their masterpiece could be about something as simple as a woman's posterior is ludicrous.

*Guitar_Raph* · 08-31-2009, 07:32 PM

I've heard that song too many times! That song was featured on the soundtrack of D2; The Mighty Ducks.

Even ABC used that song for a jingle in the fall season.

True, but is there anything on Earth better to write music about?

I concur. I think this guy is a pervert exposing himself to people at crowded parties.

*shrugs* Again, Stryker you pick a song I found the cassingle back when I had but a tape deck in the car. To tis day i'm still unsure what "It" is.

Yes. A lot of things.

I'm totally naïve, I thought it was about basketball.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-08-2009, 05:56 PM

Well, I do remember they played it a lot after the Chicago Bulls won one of their NBA Championships. I believe it was the third one. I remember my cousin taping the celebration at Grant Park on TV and one of the players danced to it. The song was sort of the Bulls' theme song for a little while.

As for what it really means, I think it may have been either about a woman's posterior or having good sex. That's just my guess.

AAH! That's why I equate it with basketball! Thanks!
