[edit] Trivia/Info

  • "It was recorded by Georgie Fame, but apparently it's -- we're not actually completely clear on this, but it appears that it was an instrumental before it was this Georgie Fame song, that John Hendricks, of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, made up words to... which is something that that vocal group used to do; they would take a popular instrumental -- or an unpopular instrumental -- and make up crazy words to it, and I think this belongs in that category. It's definitely the case with the song 'Twisted' that Joni Mitchell covered -- popularly known as "my analyst told me"; some of you may remember. And [this] may well be the case; it sounds as if Yeh Yeh was written the same way, but sadly we're uninformed about this particular song." -- John Linnell, Rage, April 2002
  • Featured in the Chrysler commercial "Parking Lot" and the Jackie Chan movie "Shanghai Knights".
