The first "dum da dum" is an F power chord on the E string (1st fret), and the "whack-a whack-a" is the "xxxxxx" and you mute the strings by resting your hand over the strings and don't press down and simultaneously pick the strings pretty firmly. Then, play a B flat power chord.
Repeat with the G sharp and the C sharp power chords.
Hope that helped!
p.s. It don't matter if you play electric or acoustic, the "whack-a whack-a" sounds the same.
... and that's all I have to say about that.
