The 5.6.7.8's first started performing as a quartet in Tokyo, Japan, the fourth spot being held by a second guitarist. During a tour of Australia, the group recruited a number of guest performers, among them their only male member, "Eddie." They would become a power trio in 1992 prior to another tour of Australia, where they would play many independent venues throughout the early '90s.
Their appearance in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Volume 1 was as themselves, performing three songs -- "I Walk Like Jayne Mansfield", "I'm Blue", and "Woo Hoo" -- live at a Tokyo nightclub and sushi bar (ironically, the sequence was filmed in China). Tarantino had discovered them while in Japan, and decided to include them in the film itself. Only "Woo Hoo" was included on the film's original soundtrack.
"Woo Hoo" (a cover of the Rock-a-Teens' original hit) would achieve further fame through its usage in an advertisement for the voice over IP service Vonage in Canada and the United States. In the United Kingdom, it was used to advertise Carling brand beer. As a result of this exposure it reached #28 on the UK Singles Chart in 2004, eight years after it was originally released.

やなコトなんて風に全部流した
君が待つ街へ急ぐ 高速乗って
普段よりもかなりすいてる
道も街も人も
OFFの日に早起きなんてさ
年に1度か2度
分刻みのスケジュール
ズレはじめてた気持ちを
今日は軌道修正したい
スピードあげてアクセルふんだ
信号さえも一度もぶつからない
こんなコトで 気分いい
Yes，I'm happy man
ガードレールの向こうで君が
笑顔を見せて大きく手をふっててる
昨日までの乾き満たされてゆく
となりに君がいる今は
つきあってる
期間はほんの ひとつき半だけど
長い間過ごしてるよな
そんな気にさせてる
見かけよりしっかりした
性格もかなり好みで
時々僕が疲れた夜は
声を聞かせて欲しい
地図を広げて
ナビする君の横顔を見て
人知れず思ってる
フィットする人に会えた
Yes,I'm lucky man
明日も辛い日常だけど
僕の近くで笑ってくれてるなら
何かがまだ僕に出来る気がする
重なる人ごみの中で
スピードあげて昨日感じた
やなコトなんて風に全部流した
こんなコトで気分いい
Yes,I'm happy man
明日も辛い日常だけど
僕の近くで笑ってくれてるなら
何かがまだ僕に出来る気がする
重なる人ごみの中で
The lyrics to The 5.6.7.8's song "I Got a Man" describe the excitement of driving to meet someone special. The song opens with the lines "Speed up, yesterday's unpleasant things flowed away in the wind. I'll hurry to the town where you wait, riding the freeway faster than usual. The road, the city, the people - everything is less crowded than usual." The singer expresses a desire to "adjust their orbit" and escape the tedious routine of daily life by driving fast and feeling happy.
The second verse describes the singer's relationship with their partner, which has lasted only a month and a half but feels much longer. The singer admires their partner's personality and finds comfort in their presence, especially during times of stress. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer feels happy and lucky to have found someone who fits with them and makes them feel good, even in the midst of the chaotic city.
Overall, "I Got a Man" is a song about the joy of escaping mundane routines and finding happiness in love. The driving metaphor and fast-paced rhythm of the song reflect the excitement of chasing after something you desire.
