You'll have to open www.yahoo.com in IE and then click the "!" at the end of the Yahoo! logo on the top. Make sure your sound is at the maximum level.

The song brings back memories of another famous hindi song from a Bollywood movie Junglee where Indian actor Shammi Kapoor makes a similar sound "Yahoooo......"
