The Rock-A-Teens were a short-lived American rockabilly group from Richmond, Virginia, active in the late 1950s, led by Vic Mizelle.

The Rock-a-Teens were one-hit wonders whose lone hit record was “Woo Hoo”, written by George Donald McGraw and backed with “Untrue”, released on Roulette Records R 4192. The song hit No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Career

The Rock-A-Teens formed in 1956 as Boo Walke & the Rockets while still in high school. After the initial success of “Woo-Hoo”, they cut an album of the same name. Meanwhile Roulette Records issued a follow-up single of “Twangy” and “Doggone It Baby”. Neither the album or follow-up single was successful. The group broke up shortly after and none of the members continued in the music business.
