The song "Oh Yeah," also known as "Oh Yeah (There's a Band Playing On the Radio)" or "Oh Yeah (On the Radio)," is a hit single by the English rock band Roxy Music. It was released in 1980 as the second single from their album "Flesh and Blood." The song became quite popular, reaching No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart and also charting in West Germany and the Netherlands. Despite being released in the USA, it did not chart there. Roxy Music recorded this song during the sessions for "Flesh and Blood," after the departure of their drummer Paul Thompson, turning the band into a trio with Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, and Phil Manzanera, supported by session musicians on drums. The song features vocals by Bryan Ferry and prominent instrumentation including guitar, saxophones, and keyboards. "Oh Yeah" is noted for the line "There's a band playing on the radio," which is a key lyric in the song, and it has been used in various media, including a comedy series. The song is also available in live performance versions and remastered editions. If interested, there are also several recordings and videos available online, including live performances on platforms like YouTube and streaming on Spotify.
