The song, which featured duo M.T.F., reached #1 on the US Hot Dance Music/Maxi Singles chart and #2 on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. It was #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #44 on the US Hot Hip-Hop & R&B Singles.[3]

FannyPack version

New York's hip hop/electronica group FannyPack covered the song, renaming it "Nu Nu (Yeah Yeah)," in 2005.[4] The Double J & Haze Extended Mix of this version appeared on the soundtrack of the 2006 film "Stick It"[5] and on the soundtrack of the 2009 film "Fired Up!"[6]

This version was used in promos by American television network NBC for its weeknight talk show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, in 2010.

Austin Mahone/Pitbull Mmm Yeah sampled version

The 2014 song Mmm Yeah sung by Austin Mahone and featuring Pitbull heavily samples the lyrics and verses in Nu Nu and most notably samples the chorus.
