This one was in about a zillion commercials, TV shows and movies in the '80s and beyond (notably Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Secret Of My Success). This song, which originally appeared on their 1985 album "Stella," is a bit of a throwaway novelty, really, but Yello is a highly influential Swiss electronic duo (originally trio). They've been around for over 40 years (their first album was released in 1980) and are still active.

Anyone else fell like ditching school for a day off? 😉😂

Cool song that was in the '80s movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

You're right, it was a HUGE club hit, always packed the floor!!!

Yep, used in many movies and commercials. My favourite Yello track is Vicious Games

The Rhythm Divine is one of their best songs Shirley Bassey sings on it.

Yello were in their own lane. A really cool lane though. I would suggest "Rhythm Devine" with Dame Shirley Bassey on vocals. Shirley Bassey also did a duet with The Propellerheads, called "History Repeating" - a jazzy/DJ hit.

Todd in the Shadows did a really good video in his One Hit Wonderland series breaking down how this became such a big hit and yet the group remains relatively obscure. Other great Yello tracks to check out: Desire, Vicious Games, Angel No, The Race.

The album this track came from is called Stella,very weird and moody album.

Naturally, I said the name of the song instinctively when I saw you posted this

Classic. Was in the Movies oh yeah

Swing is another great Yello track

One Second was a good album. Surprisingly, 40 years later they're still releasing new music on their KZfaq channel. The new album is very cinematic but if you like this check out "Waba Duba".

OMG you have no idea how ubiquitous this song was at the time. It was inescapable.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Closing Credits.

Check out some of their other tunes: I Love You, La Habanera, Goldrush, Squeeze Please.

Yello most famous number is "The Race", really fast paced nummer. Yello is more experimentel inclined band like "The Art Off Noise". you will hear some vibes off Vangelis in it too. Recomment "The Race", "The Rubberband Man" and " Of Course I'm Lying"

This should have been a double A-side with Art of Noises's Paranoimia (the Max Headroom version).

Will recommend anything with Yello but this track is just the dogs balls: Si Señor The Hairy Grill - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5aoprphmKuqhJ8.html

There is SO much more to Yello than this one song. Check out " Rhythm Divine" with Shirley Bassey as featured vocalist. But be careful Yello is a rabbit hole NOT for the faint of heart.
