"Like Wow - Wipeout!" was a single by iconic[1][2] Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus which reached #28 on the Melbourne Record Charts.[3] It was released on Big Time Records in October, 1985; and was written by Dave Faulkner.[4]
"Bring the Hoodoo Down" (B side), was also written by Faulkner.[4] It had already been released as a B side on the United Kingdom 12" single for "Bittersweet".
"... was only recorded as a b-side but producer Charles Fisher thought it "had something" and should be included on the album. No-one was more surprised than us when it became the second single and our biggest hit at the time. We just liked it because it was noisy." - Dave Faulkner.[5]
