Boris Blank, Dieter Meier and Carlos Perón formed Yello in 1979 in Zurich, Switzerland. They composed the theme song of Formel Eins ("Formula One"), a music program that aired in Germany from 1983 to 2013. Perón left in 1984 and Blank and Meier continued as a duo. Oh Yeah was featured in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. British composer Daniel Pemberton recorded the song in 1998 for the CD In Their Eyes: '90s Teen Bands Vs '80s Teen Movies. He called himself "Crazy Glue." Um, okay.
