There was, I have read, a snake that talked and seduced a woman. Perhaps the mongoose, after eating it, got some ideas.

You mean Adam and Eve, Joe_F? Or something in a song?

What's the German word for Olé!…?

Hojotoho! Hojotoho!
Heiaha! Heiaha! Hojotoho! Heiaha!

“People also ask
What is the Valkyrie battle cry?
Wagner's Valkyries famous battlecry is Hojotoho! Heiaha-ha! If you ever wondered if these words have a meaning in any ancient German language – unfortunately they don't. They are made up by Wagner but are powerful nevertheless.”

Well, for that matter, neither does “Yahoo!” “Yippee!” or “Yay” but they still get the message across:

Hojotoho! = variations on the interjection heu (Latin) = yo-ho-ho. See also March of the Winkies. ;)

Heia-ha (heja, hoia &c&c) = “I cheer.” See also Heia Viri.

Etymological gumbo: The Germans got it from the Irish and the other half of the Anglo's “hue & cry” is the root of the calypsonian griot (crier) or gritador.

fwiw: "I cheer" - Most Euro-Americans would probably translate Heja Sverige! as Go Sweden! Excepting parts of Maine & Louisiana it would be Allez! Elsewhere one might hear Viva!.
