Yes, Yes, Yes

"Yes, Yes, Yes" is a musical comedy/parody song co written, recorded and released as a single in 1976, by comedian Bill Cosby. The song came from Cosby's album from 1976, Bill Cosby Is Not Himself These Days.

The song, which Cosby co wrote with his longtime collaborator, Stu Gardner, spoofed Barry White's deep voiced spoken word sexual monologues but instead of a monologue of making love, Cosby constantly asked his wife if she took money off his pocket, destroyed the car she borrowed from him, if his checkbook was overdrawn and if she was cheating on him with a man "in his closet" wearing his pajamas.

The female background vocalists constantly say "yes, yes, yes" to every one of Cosby's questions. Throughout the song, Cosby would also repeat "rat own", mocking White's usage of "right on" in his songs.

Built under a quiet storm-style contemmporary R&B production similar to White's, the song hit the charts peaking at number #46 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number #11 on the R&B charts becoming Cosby's biggest charted single since "Little Ole Man (Uptight, Everything's Alright)" peaked at number #4 on the Hot 100 nine years earlier.
