"Like Wow – Wipeout" is a song written by Dave Faulkner and recorded by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus for their album Mars Needs Guitars!. As a single, it was released on Big Time Records in October 1985 and reached #28 on the Melbourne record chart.
The B side of the single, "Bring the Hoodoo Down", was also written by Faulkner. 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.
