"Oh Yeah", sometimes billed as "Oh Yeah (On the Radio)", was the second single from Flesh + Blood, Roxy Music's seventh album, and a hit in 1980. It comes from the first record the band made after drummer Paul Thompson left, which shrank Roxy to a core trio of Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera, and session man Allan Schwartzberg drums here.

Ferry wrote it alone, sings it and plays piano; Mackay adds sax, Manzanera and Neil Hubbard share guitar, Neil Jason plays bass and Paul Carrack brings keyboards and strings. Rhett Davies produced with the band and engineered, and Bob Clearmountain mixed it. Depending on the country, the flip was "South Downs", a Ferry synthesizer instrumental kept off the album, or an album track, and the song features prominently in an episode of Stephen Merchant's sitcom Hello Ladies.
