"Nu Nu" was the second single for Chicago house music artist Lidell Townsell from his 1992 Mercury/PolyGram Records album release, Harmony. The song, which featured duo M.T.F., reached #1 on the US Hot Dance Music/Maxi Singles chart and #2 on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. It was #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #44 on the US Hot Hip-Hop & R&B Singles.
New York's hip hop/electronica group FannyPack covered the song, renaming it "Nu Nu (Yeah Yeah)," in 2005. The Double J & Haze Extended Mix of this version appeared on the soundtrack of the 2006 film "Stick It" and on the soundtrack of the 2009 film "Fired Up!"
This version was used in promos by American television network NBC for its weeknight talk show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, in 2010.
The 2014 song Mmm Yeah sung by Austin Mahone and featuring Pitbull heavily samples the lyrics and verses in Nu Nu and most notably samples the chorus.
