"Yeah Yeah" is a song by Bodyrox, written as a collaboration between Nathan Thomas, Nick Bridges, John Pern and Luciana. It was popularized in clubs by D. Ramirez's remix, which became the backing for the radio edit, featuring Luciana. It has been described by both Nic Fanciulli and Paul Woolford as one of the biggest tunes in Miami, and has reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart, also charting in the Netherlands and Finland. But it was a total success topping the UK Dance Chart for only one week on 5 November 2006. In the United States, the single peaked at #15 on Billboard's Dance Airplay chart in its 10 March 2007 issue.
It is also featured on Miniclips game "Up Beat", where it is in its hardest level.
The music video is available in both a censored and an uncensored form. Both versions feature Luciana and an assortment of young adults in a dingy room. Euphemisms including the connecting of microphone cables, spilling of milk are subtly woven into both versions of the video, and they conclude with Luciana dousing the room with petrol and sparking a cigarette lighter.
As the music continues, the young adults become increasingly aroused, and start to make out with each other if in pairs, or rub themselves if alone; in the uncensored version of the video, the behaviour extends into crotch clutching and bared breast fondling.
The song is used as the sampled background track in Cascada's 2011 single "San Francisco." The song is used in the Jaime Kennedy movie "Kickin' It Old Skool" during the hip hop dance challenge scene between the Misfitz and the Iced Cole crews.
In 2016, Dave Aude released a updated version of "Yeah Yeah," this time billed as "Yeah Yeah 2017" and credited as Luciana & Dave Aude. This version reached number one on Billboard's Dance Club Songs Chart the week of February 25, 2017.
