YELLO's international breakthrough came in 1985 with their fourth longplayer, Stella, which shot Dieter Meier and Boris Blank to the top of the Swiss charts, making them the first local band to reach number 1. In Germany, the album reached number 6 in the charts and was awarded a gold disc.
While YELLO had previously been treated as a well-kept secret, the entire pop world now turned its attention to the Zurich duo. After the song, which was not originally planned as a single, entered the international charts, the hype took on a life of its own when "Oh Yeah" was included on the soundtracks of the cinema blockbusters "Ferris macht blau" (1986) and "Das Geheimnis meines Erfolges" (1987) and inspired millions of people worldwide. To this day, the song can be heard regularly in cinema and TV productions such as The Simpsons and countless commercials.
"Boris played me an instrumental that I didn't know how to play," recalls Dieter Meier. "He asked me to imagine sitting on a beach as the sun goes down, the first martini is served and you slowly fall asleep. That's how the exclamation 'Oh yeah' came about - probably the shortest Dadaist lyric in the history of pop music. When I come to America, when I say 'musician', they always ask me at customs if I've released anything famous. I always answer 'Oh yeah' and can usually get through straight away...".
