"O Yeah" is the debut single of Australian pop rock band End of Fashion, taken from their 2005 self-titled debut album. The song reuses the riff from the song "Where Is My Mind?" by American alternative rock band Pixies. Released in Australia on 18 July 2005, it peaked at number 21 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. It was also a top-20 hit in New Zealand, where it reached number 14 in September 2005.

Music video[]

The music video, set on a drag racing strip at Western Sydney International Dragway,^{[citation needed]} was directed by Ben Quinn and produced by Lucy Markovich,^{[citation needed]} and depicts lead singer Justin Burford strolling down the main strip, alternating shots of racing cars with shots of various attendees to the race, in addition to various shots of the band's instruments.

Criticism[]

End of Fashion have been criticised for their uncredited copying of the guitar riff from the Pixies song "Where Is My Mind?" for "O Yeah". Rockus Online Magazine reviewer Jonathon Miller called the song "disturbingly Pixies-ish" and went on to write:

"End of Fashion are having no problem appealing to the 95% of people that haven't heard (and still remember) the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" and have never experienced a truly exciting live show, and if that's what the band is aiming for, then they are a complete success."^[2]
