Everything Yello did up to this album is better than this song.

Thank you!!!! I kept thinking I knew the song from somewhere but couldn’t remember where…

I've been familiar with this song since the 1980s, but never saw the video or the artist. For whatever reason, I thought Yello was a rapper.

When I finally saw it on MTV Classic a few years back, I was shocked because Dieter is a dead ringer for one of my uncles. It's like they're dopplegangers.

My favorite song by Yello was "Lost Again".

not a jingle per se, but drugs are definitely involved

this is the face of a middle-manager offering you cocaine

This song has always just been a Twix commercial to me.

Not as on the nose as Laid Back's White Horse but still Euro-wierd.

During the opening of Eurovision they always highlight one of the most famous pop songs from that year's host country (Example, when it was held in the Netherlands in 2021 they focused on "Venus"). Last year when it was held in Switzerland Oh Yeah was the highlighted song. At first I thought that was funny, but in actuality this is probably the most recognizable Swiss pop songs of all time.

You lost that conversation, didn't you...

I remember this as a twix commercial as well (like I didn't know this specifically was who did the song but I knew it wasn't made just for that commercial).

Ohhh yeah! 😃

It may not be a drug jingle, but I am 100% sure there were drugs involved.

This was Howard Stern bumper music for a while

Every time I hear this song, I have to order Indian takeaway.

Have them watch the Michael J. Fox movie from that era.

The Secret of My Success?

Smallmyfunger@reddit

Yep! Pretty sure this is the song playing while they all sneak around to each others bedrooms. Going by memory here so could be off...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

delldarlin@reddit

The Secret of My Success (1987), d. Herbert Ross, starring Michael J. Fox and a radiant Helen Slater. Not a classic, but there's some fun physical comedy and Fox is eminently likeable.

Had an epic makeout session during The Secret of my Success in the movie theater back in the day

adashiel@reddit

It’s the eightiest song that ever eightied, so of course there’s cocaine involved.

[-]

JeffEpp@reddit

Possibly the cheapest music video made. "What do we have lying around the set? That's all? Well, it has to be finished in an hour, so..."

JeffEpp@reddit

Yeah, that was pretty cheap.

"We need a US video for the non-English version."

"Why would we... nevermind. Let's do it quick, And since no one will ever see it, have him be a real A-hole."

marugirl@reddit

I first heard it in Secret of my Success and thought it was a sex song lol. how the hell did they get to drugs?

[-]

FeliusSeptimus@reddit

Hadn't thought about that song in a bit.

I had the single on vinyl. 'Bout wore it out.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh_Yeah_(Yello_song)

The song has been wildly successful, and was the basis for Dieter Meier's investment fortune, which as of 2017 was valued at an estimated $175 million.

Ferris Buehller....

I’d never seen the video, thanks!

Art Of Noise seems like it’s in this same vein.

I think it was in The Secret of My Success also.

Yello is amazing when turned up on a good stereo system.

Ah, the it's when songs were made just to play with our new toys. And they were released to pay for our new toys.....

RoyalPuzzleheaded259@reddit

To be fair saying it’s not a drug jingle then showing them this video would be very confusing. It looks a lot like a drug jingle.

[-]

tequilasundae@reddit (OP)

Sounds like something made while on drugs

For those who may be curious, youtuber Todd in the Shadows did an episode of One Hit Wonderland about those guys. Yello was a deeply fascinating couple of weirdos:
