Is This Piece Of ’80s Electronica Karl Rove’s Idea Of Cool?

The latest commercial released by Karl Rove’s conservative Super PAC, American Crossroads, appears to sample from the 80’s Electronica hit, “Oh yeah” — a song that was immortalized at the end of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

BuzzFeed reached out to Deiter Meier — the lead singer of the Swiss band, Yello (pictured above) that was behind the 80’s smash — but received no response.

We’ll update if we hear back. In the mean time, watch this video and see if you catch the Yello homage.
