Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood


 The song is a mix of electronic, hip hop and rock. The song's chorus includes the line "I've got sunshine in a bag", which is taken from the classic western film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, in which Clint Eastwood is referring to a saddle bag of gold. While The Good, the Bad and the Ugly stars Clint Eastwood, he is not mentioned in the song itself except in the title.

Enjoy!

Yello - Oh Yeah


 
"Oh Yeah" is a single released in 1985 by the Swiss band Yello and featured in their album Stella. It reached No. 51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1987.[1]
The song features a mix of electronic music and manipulated vocals. The song gained popularity after being featured in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

 Writing about the use of the song in 1986's Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Jonathan Bernstein said, "Never a hit, this slice of Swiss-made tomfoolery with its varispeed vocal effects and driving percussion was first used by John Hughes to illustrate the mouthwatering must-haveness of Cameron's dad's Ferrari. Since then, it has become synonymous with avarice. Every time a movie, TV show or commercial wants to underline the jaw-dropping impact of a hot babe or sleek auto, that synth-drum starts popping and that deep voice rumbles, 'Oh yeah . . .'"

Enjoy!
