"Oh Me Oh My (I'm a Fool for You Baby)" is the title of a Top 30 hit single for Lulu which was recorded in September 1969 in the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio sessions for Lulu's Atco Records album debut New Routes. The song has been most notably remade by Aretha Franklin Buster Poindexter Tina Arena and Ronnie Spector on English Heart (2016).

Lulu would later opine of the producers of her album New Routes: Atlantic Record honchos Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd and Arif Mardin: "I don't think they knew what to do with me, and the only big hit I got [off the album] was a song that I [brought in] with me" - referring to "Oh Me Oh My..." which had been written by Jim Doris who – as Jimmy Doris – had been vocalist-guitarist for the Stoics, a band which formed in Lulu's native Glasgow in the late 1960s and whose membership had included Frankie Miller. (Doris contributed another song to New Routes]: "After All (I Live My Life)", and his composition "Take Good Care of Yourself" was featured on the follow-up album Melody Fair. Reportedly Doris subsequently went into A&R work before being sidelined by mental instability which factored into his being killed when run over by a bus in London in the late 1980s or early 1990s.)

Issued as advance single from New Routes in October 1969, "Oh Me Oh My..." represented a radical change of direction for Lulu, who was coming off her best ever UK chart placing at #2 with the Eurovision winner "Boom Bang-a-Bang", the move to a more mature sound with "Oh Me Oh My..." was unappreciated in the UK where the track barely reached the Top 50. In the US, "Oh Me Oh My..." ranked as high as #4 in Birmingham, Alabama in November 1969 but nationally charted only as a moderate Easy Listening hit at #36. Several performances by Lulu on US television helped break "Oh Me Oh My..." into the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1969 and then buoy the track as it gradually gained momentum to become Lulu's first Top 30 hit since "To Sir With Love" at the end of February 1970: "Oh Me Oh My..." would peak at #22 that March (Cash Box ranked the track with a #18 peak).
