Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah is the Bikini Kill side of a split album between American and English riot grrrl bands Bikini Kill and Huggy Bear. It was released in 1993 on Kill Rock Stars.[4][5] The Huggy Bear side was entitled Our Troubled Youth.[6] Bikini Kill reissued their side on their imprint Bikini Kill Records on April 15, 2014. They did not have the rights to the Huggy Bear side,[7] and instead paired it with unreleased live tracks.[8]

The song "Rebel Girl" was first performed by Bikini Kill on December 27, 1991 at St. Stephen's in Washington, DC, and dedicated to Juliana Luecking (aka QueenJuliana) whose friendship with Kathleen Hanna inspired the lyrics. The song is featured in the game Rock Band 2 and the band's next album Pussy Whipped.
