We Say Yeah

"We Say Yeah" is a song originally performed by Cliff Richard & The Shadows. It was initially released in 1962 on the "The Young Ones" soundtrack album and a few weeks later the B-side to "The Young Ones" single. Both reached number 1 in their respective UK charts. In France however, it was the rousing "We Say Yeah" instead of the "The Young Ones" that made the singles chart, reaching number 14.[1]
