AXE is up to their male-centric marketing antics again offering a free theme and a few gamer pictures of those Bom Chicka Wah Wah girls. Not familiar? Well, the Bom Chicka Wah Wahs are a musical group of scantily glad women who sing the Bom Chicka Wah Wah song to market AXE (Lynx for our European friends). Actually, it's kind of hard to explain. What we can do is show you our favorite AXE Bom Chicka Wah Wah commercial kindly embedded after the break. Yeah ... kinda interesting isn't it?
And now that we think about it, it's kind of odd that a theme like this could be approved for download when a theme like the
Queenz got canned for being too mature. Maybe a multimillion dollar company backing the content has something to do with it.

It appears the phrase was part of pop culture long before RvB (on friends, King of Queens, every time someone says porn the song starts in your head...) In any case, the video is nice (axebcww.com)

Yes, that whole bit is ancient.
This whole pile of comments reminds me of this one time about 15 years or so ago. I was at a friend's house. His little sister (around 13 yrs old) was hanging around. This was around the time that Kylie Minogue's remake of "Locomotion" was big.
While at my friend's place, the original "Locomotion" came on the radio. The little sister blurts out:
"I *hate* it when they remake songs!!!"
Moral of the story: The first time YOU hear it ISN'T necessarily the first time it's been done. :P

OK, I'm old - the pop culture reference comes from a stand up comedian's routine from the 90's that used to run on MTV's half hour comedy hour. Yes, you could say that it was an onomatopoeia, but no one used it until the comedian did the bit. Part of his routine was "you know when you hear that music someone's getting some - like when the gardner is in the kitchen and the housewife comes in... bow chicka wah wah - you know he could have drank from the hose."
Too bad that guy never got credit for the bit.
