"Oh Yeah" was the second single from the Subways' debut album, Young for Eternity, in 2005, and it finds the British indie rock band at their most gleefully scrappy. Billy Lunn wrote the words, and the music came from Lunn, Charlotte Cooper and Josh Morgan together.
It got two videos. The first, made while they were on Infectious, simply has the band playing indoors; the second, shot by Brett Simon after they signed with Warner Brothers, surrounds them with rollerskating girls in short skirts. The song found a second life beyond the radio too, turning up in the Rescue Me episode "Karate" and in a football advert for The Sun.
