​
On this day, January 29, 1985, Swiss electronic duo Yello released their fourth album, Stella. The album showcased the band’s unique blend of avant-garde synth-pop and dance music, becoming a significant milestone in their career. Stella hit #1 in Switzerland, solidifying Yello’s place as pioneers of electronic music.

The album features the iconic track Oh Yeah, which gained worldwide fame after being prominently featured in films such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) and The Secret of My Success (1987). The song’s minimalist lyrics, quirky sound effects, and catchy rhythm made it an unforgettable part of 80s pop culture.

Fun Fact: The title Stella was inspired by Boris Blank’s ex-girlfriend, and the album marked a shift to a more polished, pop-oriented sound.

Trivia Question: What year did Oh Yeah first appear in a movie, and which film was it?
