Who Yello is
Yello is a Swiss electronic music band, which formed in Zürich in 1979. For most of the band's history, Yello has been a duo consisting of Dieter Meier and Boris Blank; founding member Carlos Perón left in 1983. Their sound is often characterised by unusual music samples and a reliance on rhythm, with Meier as vocalist and lyricist and with Blank providing the music. Their 1985 single "Oh Yeah" has appeared in many films and television shows, including Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Secret of My Success, Uncle Buck, and The Simpsons; and "The Race" (1988), which peaked at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.
