The Chatswood Youth Song (also known as "Woo Hoo" and "She Came On") is an unidentified pop-punk song featured in the documentary "Video Surveillance: Race Around Chatswood" produced by the Chatswood Youth Centre in Chatswood, Australia.
Background
On December 17th, 2019, Reddit user Chernyat first posted the song to the subreddits r/Lostwave,[1] r/HelpMeFind,[2] r/NameThatSong,[3] and r/sydney[4] after discovering a tape in a thrift store in Newtown, Sydney that featured footage recorded at the Chatswood Youth Centre in August 1997, which played the song throughout most of the video.[1]
On the same day, the song was first reuploaded to YouTube by user ACE's Reposts,[5] and it was featured in a video by C.W. Schultz titled "10 MORE Mysterious Songs" on September 25th, 2020.[6]
On March 27th, 2024, YouTuber Strange Australian featured the song in a video titled "The Lost Media of Australia Iceberg Explained" and later contacted a cast member from the video who explained that the film could have been made for a state government-funded creative arts festival called ArtStart.[7]
Through this information, Strange Australian and Chernyat discovered a state government website from 1997 that confirmed the film's title as Video Surveillance: Race Around Chatswood and its participation in the ArtStart 97 festival.[8] Additionally, they discovered that the Ku-ring-gai Council, a Northern Sydney local government area close to Willoughby Council, where Chatswood is located, had its own ArtStart 97 program.[9]
The program involved recording unsigned local bands for a CD that would be sold at a live performance at the St. Ives Youth Service Centre in St. Ives, New South Wales.[9] After searching newspapers for mentions of this performance, the search team discovered that the album was titled "If It Fitz",[10] but this lead was debunked on October 14th, 2024, when the full CD was uploaded to YouTube and did not include the song.[11][12]
