"Yahoo!" sits on The Innocents, the third studio album from the English synth-pop duo of Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, which Mute put out in Britain on 18 April 1988, with Sire and Reprise handling America from 10 April. Stephen Hague produced it, Bob Kraushaar engineered, and the backing vocals come from Jane Ayre, Naomi Thompson and Caron Wheeler.
The album around it was the one that turned Erasure into superstars at home and gave them their breakthrough in America, and it kicked off a run of British number-one albums for the pair. Even the sleeve aimed high, its picture borrowed from Chartres Cathedral's St. James and Charlemagne window.
