The Rock-A-Teens, a rock'n'roll band from Richmond, Virginia, formed in 1956 as Boo Walke & the Rockets at a local high school. The group consisted of Vic Mizelle on vocals and guitar, Bobby "Boo" Walke on guitar, Bill Cook on guitar, Eddie Robinson on saxophone, Paul Dixon on bass, and Bill Smith on drums. Their breakthrough came in 1959 when they performed for George Donald McGraw, owner of Mart Records. Impressed by their original composition Rock-A-Teen Boogie, McGraw renamed it "Woo Hoo" and released it as a single with the B-side "Untrue". The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1959, peaking at number 16 and staying on the chart for twelve weeks. Due to a copyright dispute, McGraw bought the rights to both compositions from the band. Roulette Records re-released "Woo Hoo" with George Donald McGraw credited as the author. In 1960, Roulette released their album Woo-Hoo, which included seven vocal tracks and five instrumentals, but excluded "Untrue". Despite being a commercial failure at the time, the album is now sought after by fans for its raw garage-rock sound. The band's other notable releases include the singles "Twangy" and "Woo Hoo / Hula Love". The song "Woo Hoo" gained renewed popularity when it was featured in Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill, performed by The 5.6.7.8's!
