i was just listening to the ferris bueller's day off soundtrack (well, the songs from the movie, i know it didn't have an official soundtrack)... and you know the song "oh yeah" is in the film?..well i started to think of how many 80s movies used this song?
okay so ferris bueller is one, but i cannot think of what scene it plays in? haha
she's out of control - the scene where katie is being checked out by all the dudes on the beach..
secret of my success - the scene where brantley drives his aunt to her home in the limo...
are there other movies with this song in it? great tune!

This song was used TOO much in 80's movies..I hate the song now cause of how much it was used..Yello did have far better songs than that one anyway.

It´s a classic song from the legendary band. I agree that they have much better ones though.
Ronnie,
You can hear the tune during the end credits in Ferris.

I have seen the film clip for Yello "Oh Yeah" on ABC's film clip program "Rage."

Although it's not a movie, I remember that song being used in Twix commercials in the 1980s/early 1990s.
