A similar song, "Whoot, There It Is", was released by the Miami-based group 95 South a month prior to Tag Team's "Whoomp!"[14] Both groups' record companies maintained that the similarities were a coincidence, as the phrase, "Whoomp (or whoot), there it is", was a common expression used by dancers in Atlanta and Miami nightclubs that members from both groups frequented.[14] Arsenio Hall hosted both groups on his television show to perform their versions of the songs and let viewers vote on their favorite by calling a 900 number to donate money to the relief effort for the 1993 Midwest floods.[15] The phrase "Whoomp! There it is!" has come to mean something similar to "Look at that!". It is intended to encourage "positive partying".[16][14][6] Tag Team has explained that the phrase refers to "anything that one agrees with on a positive level."[14]
More recently, a variant of the lyric was created by Vancouver Canucks fans to laud the popularity of the (at the time) recently-hired coach Bruce Boudreau, with a "Bruce, there it is!" chant during hockey games, beginning in December 2021.[52]

In a hyper-masculine hip-hop scene, Young Thug refused to play by traditional gender rules. He wore a dress on the cover of his 2016 mixtape "Jeffery" and said there's no such thing as gender as part of a Calvin Klein campaign.
While the concept of the song may not seem too out of the ordinary by modern standards, in 2002, the freedom to express yourself in an overtly sexual manner as a female artist was not the norm. Khia put it all out there for the world without any apologies. Miley Cyrus and Janet Jackson are reportedly fans of the raunchy song with the former even busting out the iconic line in a 2015 gig. Two decades later, Khia has more than a dozen albums, but none that have ever been as catchy as this song.
