About this sound

✦ AI

The Gorillaz Hohoo is the looping hoo hoo hoo vocal hook from Clint Eastwood, used as a short meme sound for reaction clips, edits and remixes.

This two second clip isolates the distinctive hoo hoo hoo vocal refrain from Gorillaz track Clint Eastwood, the breathy falsetto chant that repeats through the chorus. Stripped from the full song it sounds playful and slightly eerie, instantly recognisable to anyone who knows the animated band. Creators use it as a quick musical punchline because the loop is catchy, rhythmical and oddly hypnotic. It works without lyrics or context, landing as a teasing singalong moment that can lighten a scene, underline a silly reaction or signal a laid back, nostalgic mood.

Clint Eastwood was released in 2001 as the debut single by Gorillaz, the virtual band created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. The song mixed hip hop verses with a melancholic sung chorus built around its simple hoo hoo hoo refrain, helping it become an international hit. That tiny hook later circulated on its own online as a soundboard clip, detached from the verses and instantly linked to early 2000s pop culture. Its brevity and singable shape explain why editors still reuse it for memes and short edits today.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the loop right on a beat cut or a character's blank stare and let it play once clean before looping. Keep the original track low underneath, avoid pitching it up, and cut before the chant overstays its welcome.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Add to reaction edits for a goofy singalong punchline moment.
  • Use under nostalgic Gorillaz fan edits and music memes.
  • Play after a silly fail to keep the tone light.
  • Loop in gaming montages during a relaxed looting break.
