Oh Yeah(1960s)
Mid-1960s British Invasion garage rock with raw mod energy, gritty soulful male vocals, jangly overdriven electric guitars, thunderous drums, walking basslines, urgent danceable stomp rhythm, working-class swagger, tight high harmonies, 1966 analog production with warm tube distortion and compressed midrange, aggressive beat group aesthetic, youthful liberation themes, handclaps, and vintage Farfisa organ stabs

Lyrics
Oh Yeah
Verse 1
Saw her standing by the soda machine
Black leather jacket and a pair of blue jeans
My heart started beating like a big bass drum
I knew right then that she was the one
Chorus
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
She’s got the motion
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
Set my heart in motion tonight
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
She’s got the notion
And everything’s gonna be alright
Oh yeah!
Verse 2
Friday night and I'm feeling alive
Me and my baby gonna take a long drive
Radio blasting on the Avenue
Suddenly the world is brand new
Chorus
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
She’s got the motion
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
Set my heart in motion tonight
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
She’s got the notion
And everything’s gonna be alright
Oh yeah!
Bridge
(Guitar break – fuzzy, overdriven)
Don’t need no money
Don’t need a car
Just need you baby
Wherever you are
Handclaps enter
Verse 3
Sun comes up but we don’t care
Running my fingers through her dark hair
Everybody says we’re too young to know
But they don’t feel the way we feel, no no no!
Final Chorus
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
She’s got the motion
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
Set my heart in motion inside
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
Magic potion
I’m never gonna leave her side
Outro
Oh yeah, oh yeah, OH YEAH!
(Backing vocals harmonize on “Yeah-yeah-yeah”)
(Repeat and fade with tambourine)
