No, "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" was the title of a Rolling Stones album
recorded at their 1969 concert.

It's a miss-spelling of "your arse".
"Your" signifies something that belongs to you, an arse is a sphincter that
fully digested food is expelled from the body through. Your bottom. Your
bum. Your arse.

It is German slang for "yes".
Rob Lieblich ancestors must say that a lot in Germany.
Ya-ya?

for his girlfriend. I'm unaware of any slang that equates "Ya-ya" with
"Girlfriend," but it does fit contextually. It's very common for nonsense
words to be used in pop music simply because they "fit," and that may well
have been the case in that particular song.

Nein, nein, Bun. Rob Lieblich is Jewish and has no relatives in Germany
or elsewhere in Europe. Reinhold or Clarence can tell you why.

Me, too, but somewhere I got the impression that "ya ya" also referred
to drugs.
