"Song 2" is a song by Blur, and the second single to be released from their eponymous fifth album, in April 1997. "Song 2" was originally the track's working title (Damon Albarn stated in an early live performance of the song at the RDS in Dublin in June 1996 that "This one's called 'Song 2', 'cos we haven't got a name for it yet"), but ended up sticking, and an eerie succession of coincidences surrounding the number two eventually became associated with the song. It was the second track on the album, clocks in at precisely two minutes long, was the second single to be released, and reached #2 in the UK singles chart.
Because of the obscure title, which is not featured in the lyrics, the song is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Woo Hoo" (or "Way Hoo" in some parts of the USA), because of its chorus.

They named it "Song 2" because at the time they released the album there was no title for it and it was the second track.

it was called song 2 because it was number 2 on the album and they couldn't think of a name for it. song 2 stuck but lots of people think its called woo-hoo! great song though

The same reason that The Travelling Willburys' first album was called 'Volume 2'...!

"Crossroads" with the aid of Cream (1968 Winterland Ballroom overall performance from the Wheels of fire lp, no longer 2005 Royal Albert corridor overall performance). IMHO, in basic terms the main kick *** stay guitar overall performance in the historic past of rock song.
