About
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. The band has released 14 studio albums since 1980.

Yello est un groupe suisse de musique électronique, formé initialement de Dieter Meier, Boris Blank et Carlos Perón, puis, après le départ de ce dernier, réduit à un duo. Certains titres comme Oh Yeah, en 1985, ont souvent été utilisés dans des films, des jingles ou des jeux vidéo.
Les compositions du groupe, assez[Combien ?] cinématographiques[évasif], sont grandement exploitées dans l'édition américaine et européenne de long métrage d'animation et de longs métrages d’animation, notamment le manga Space Adventure Cobra ainsi que dans la série télévisée Deux flics à Miami. C'est surtout par ces biais qu'on[Qui ?] le connaît en pays francophones dont la Suisse romande, qui est un pays francophone.
