Basically, "Yippee ki-yay" is an old, American cowboy expression, like: ”yippee”, or “yeehaw (heehaw)”, or “Whoopee”; expressions of extreme joy or excitement, commonly associated with cowboys. As an interjection, “yahoo”, plays a similar role.
PS.: Many people mention the expression “Yippee ki-yay” in the movie “Die Hard” as the origin of the work, but it is important to know that this word is much order. Like I said: from the “cowboys-days”.

Here is one example of use: I’ve been meaning to meet someone for, like, a month. Today, she finally was available. My reply? “Yippee ki-yay”, woman! Pick you up at eight.”

Get the yippie ki-yay mug.Im An Old Cowhand
Artist: Frank Sinatra
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed
And my cheeks ain't tanned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star state
'cause I ride the range in a Ford V8
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

'cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
