"Bostich" is a song by Swiss synthpop band Yello, released in 1981.[1] It is the third and final single to be released from their debut studio album Solid Pleasure. "Bostich" appears on the band's compilation album Essential Yello. The song peaked at number 23 on the Billboard dance chart.[2][failed verification]

The song's title is a reference to stapler manufacturer Bostitch; in Swiss German, the verb "bostitchen" itself is a generic trademark for stapling.[3]
