"Oh Yeah" (occasionally spelt as "Oh Yea") is a song by Ash, released as the fifth single from their album 1977 on 24 June 1996. It was released as a single CD, a 7" vinyl (the limited edition 7" was yellow and came with a picture sleeve), and as a cassette. The UK Promo version of the track is thought of as quite rare, and a collector's item between fans. It comes on orange 7" vinyl and has the same track on both sides.

"Oh Yeah" was the first single released after the release of 1977 and was their second Top 10 single, reaching number 6 in the UK singles chart. It is probably Ash's best-known song and one of the best known from the Brit-Pop period. It tells a tale of a "bitter-sweet teenage love story" and is very much a fan favourite. It's almost always somewhere in the live set too. It features backing vocals from singer Lisa Moorish.

"Oh Yeah" was also Ash's third "NME Single of the Week". It features on Ash's first greatest hits collection, Intergalactic Sonic 7″s, and live versions can be found on Live at the Wireless and the Tokyo Blitz DVD.

The track was "performed" on Richard and Judy, where bassist, Mark took over vocals duty, in a similar vein to Oasis's performance of "Whatever" on Top of the Pops in 1995. After the performance the hosts informed the band of what big fans they were and hadn't even noticed.

The track "T. Rex" is one of the band's favourite B-sides and can be found on the "Live at the Wireless" album. It was played at almost every show during the 1977 tour. It was a surprise exception from the "Cosmic Debris" collection.

The lyrics of the second B-side, "Everywhere Is All Around", were written by Tim Wheeler's friend, Martin Carr of The Boo Radleys, although Tim contributed the music and arrangement.
