"Yippiyo-Ay" was the fourth single The Presets pulled from Apocalypso, their second studio album, from 2008, and it went out on Modular. Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes wrote the music, Hamilton wrote the words and Scott Horscroft mixed it. No video was made for it, and the band have let on that the song is essentially about a hand job, which makes its afterlife all the funnier: the Seven Network played it through its coverage of the 2009 Australian Open, it turned up on an episode of The World's Strictest Parents, and an instrumental version landed in the PSP edition of Gran Turismo. It also made the Ministry of Sound Clubbers Guide to 2009.
On the ARIA singles chart it came in at 95 in late November 2008 and got as high as 72.
