2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Janet Jackson’s “That’s The Way Love Goes” and UB40′s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” were the respective roadblocks to a No.1 showing) and, over the years, appearing in films including “Elf” and “Addams Family Values,” commercials for detergent and diapers and on the dance floors for about 7 billion wedding receptions. 1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart reaching No. The history of “Whoomp!” starts with hitting No. What do you say to that? For me, it’s poignant.” Just 15 minutes ago, someone sent me a video of her daughter bouncing to the commercial (standing in her crib). The way that song hit (in 1993), we knew we wanted to make party records. “I’ve done all of the historic clubs in Atlanta and ‘Whoomp!’ has always been an extension of us partying. “I’ve DJ’d at every club (in Atlanta),” said Glenn, who retired from spinning in 2015, but works as an actor and voice over artist. I think that’s why people are getting a kick out of it.”Īt the top of the “people getting a kick out of” the resurgence of “Whoomp!” column is the affable duo of Glenn (the chattier of the two) and Gibson, who have lived in Atlanta since the late-’80s.ĭuring the interview call with the Martin Agency representatives, the Tag Team pair - brothers, as they refer to each other - is alternately giddy, thankful and proud, not only that the song has revived their national profile, but that its very structure allows it to continuously peek out of pop culture. “People have been listening to it since the ’90s and it’s a song that’s a celebration. “Why (‘Whoomp!’) resonates with people, now it’s everyone’s song,” said Sean Riley, senior vice president and creative director at the Martin Agency. But the track also appealed to the creative team’s desire to showcase, simply, fun. 5, 2022.For Hailes, “Whoomp!” was a song that revisited his “coming of age” years. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. Pressure hasn’t dissipated for the former Jack Adams Award winner heading into the new campaign, however, and a slow start could mean an end to Ruff’s reign. Star centre Jack Hughes spoke out in favour of keeping the coach in May and now Ruff is returning for his third season behind New Jersey’s bench. There was speculation that Ruff would be out of a job after the Devils finished last season with a 27-46-9 record and missed the playoffs for the second year in a row. The Sens haven’t posted a winning record in Smith’s three seasons in charge, and his job could be on the line if the trend continues. Now it’s time for Smith to blend the top talent with an up-and-coming roster featuring the likes of Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle, and guide the Sens to their first post-season appearance since 2017. Ottawa went big over the off-season, acquiring big names like winger Alex DeBrincat and veteran Claude Giroux. The veteran head coach has a 80-41-17 regular-season record with the ‘Caps and needs to find a way to translate that success in the post-season if he wants to bring another championship to Washington - and secure his future with the team. But Washington hasn’t made it out of the first round of the playoffs in Laviolette’s two seasons at the helm. Toronto hasn’t made it out of the first round of the playoffs under Keefe, though, and playoff success this season will be key to his ability to remain behind the bench.Īs long as Alex Ovechkin is playing, the Capitals are expected to be a Stanley Cup contender. Toronto has a 116-50-19 regular-season record during his tenure as head coach and, for the last two seasons, has boasted the league’s top goal scorer in Auston Matthews. It’s a deep playoff run that remains elusive. Wins haven’t been an issue over Keefe’s first three seasons as head coach of the Maple Leafs. Now in his fourth season as head coach, Eakins needs to harness all that talent and guide Anaheim to its first playoff appearance since 2018. Anaheim’s front office showed it’s serious about taking the next step this summer, signing Ryan Strome, Frank Vatrano and John Klingberg as free agents. Expectations have grown for the Ducks as youngsters like Trevor Zegras, Troy Terry and Mason McTavish grow into their roles as emerging NHL stars.
