You know this song. It was in "The Secret Of My Success." It was in Snickers commercials. It has no lyrics, of any meaning anyway. Sort of defined the decade.

"Whaaaa BOM BOM (ad nauseum)...chica chica"

What is this song called, and who wrote it?

Yello. Probably most famous for being in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" whenever they show Cameron's Dad's Ferrari.

I believe it was called "Oh Yeah" - it was onthe album Stella. "The Race" was on "Flag" (Or so I read) .. it may be the same song witha different name .. but unless AMG and my memory are both wrong (or there was some crazy UK renaming) it was called "Oh Yeah"

there are actually only a couple of yello versions - the album / single mix and the extended 12" (indian summer version).
