Jimmy The Hoover were a British pop band, who had a hit single with "Tantalise (Wo Wo Ee Yeh Yeh)". It would be their only hit, reaching number 18 in the UK Singles Chart in June 1983.

The track was produced by Steve Levine, who also produced Culture Club's multi-million selling Colour by Numbers album that same year. A follow-up single "Kill Me Kwik", produced by Anne Dudley of Art of Noise fame, received positive reviews in the music press but failed to chart. The group were subsequently dropped by Innervision, their record label. In 1985, another single, "Bandana Street (Use It)", would appear on a new label, MCA Records, but with no success whatsoever.

The group was managed by Malcolm McLaren, who also chose their name; and featured Derek Dunbar on vocals, Simon Barker, and drummer Karla Maddog.

It is not known where the members of the band are now, but it is believed that one of them was killed in a boating accident in 1998. The outfit thus remain one-hit wonders.
