Filmmaker Nick Canfield has launched a Kickstarter campaign in a bid to fund the release of a documentary about Yello’s iconic hit, Oh Yeah. Written by the duo of Boris Blank and Dieter Meier for their fourth album Stella, the song became famous after its use on the soundtrack to cult 1986 comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
“Oh Yeah has a particular place in the American psyche and embodies our culture in the 80s more than any other song,” Canfield told Rolling Stone. “It immediately connotes lust, desire, gratification, and excess. Even though it’s European, it’s become quintessentially American. I wanted to explore that, and the song’s incredible staying power.”
