The inspiration for "Ooh" came when [[Rivers Cuomo]] went to the Philharmonic’s performance of Mahler's third symphony sometime in [[1992]]. Cuomo reported that his "mind was blown." After seeing the performance, he "resolved to incorporate the more complex arrangements and countermelodies of classical music in [his] rock songs." Said Cuomo, "So I wrote this little vocal piece as an exercise. It's a rip-off of Smetan's ''Moldau'' but what can you do." | The inspiration for "Ooh" came when [[Rivers Cuomo]] went to the Philharmonic’s performance of Mahler's third symphony sometime in [[1992]].
