"Yeah Yeah" is a song by New Zealand-born musician, singer and producer Willy Moon, initially released on 5 May 2012. The song peaked at number 26 on the UK Singles Chart and number 18 on the US Billboard Rock Chart.

The song was re-released on 10 September 2012 due to its use in Apple Inc's 2012 iPod lineup TV advertisement, including the 5th-Generation Touch, 7th-Generation Nano, and 4th-Generation Shuffle.[1] It was also featured in the official soundtrack of the 2012 Xbox 360 game Forza Horizon,[2] the trailer for the 2013 comedy film Last Vegas [3] as well as in a 2016 Southwest Airlines commercial.[4]
