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
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride
'fore I learned to stand
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
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'bout the big corral where the dogies go
'cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
Hey, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker! 

Catchphrase used by Bruce Willis In all of the Die Hard films.It only has context In the first movie but he says It In all of them.

The reason the phrase has context In the first one Is as follows:

Main terrorist Hans:Mr. Mystery Guest are you still there?

John Mcclane:Yeah I'm still here

Hans:Who are you exactly?Someone who watched too many action movies as a child and thinks he's John Wayne,Rambo,Lewis Stevens?

Mcclane:Actually I was kind of partial to Roy Rogers myself.Always liked those sequin shirts.

Hans:Do you really think you can stop us Mr.Cowboy?

Mcclane:Well,Yippie-Ki-Yay MotherFucker!
Do you really think you can stop us Mr.Cowboy?
Well,Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!

Yippee ki-yay

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.”

Yippee ki-yay

This is the correct spelling, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Commonly proceeded by the words mother and fucker and particularly used towards terrorists.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
