"O Yeah" is a single by End of Fashion released in 2005.
It was written in one sitting by Burford on a bet that he couldn't pen a song that quickly.
“A friend bet me that I couldn’t write a song at the drop of a hat. Of course I can’t, and I was going to look like an idiot, but my mate was egging me on and I was high on life that day”. Burford said, “Go on then, write one right here right now. And I did. It’s the only time I’ve written a whole song in one sitting! To shut him up…”
Subsequently, it was realised that the song copies the guitar riff from the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?".
In a review,
Jonathon Miller wrote
"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."
In some of their later live shows, Justin Burford has taken to inserting lyrics from the Pixies song at the end of "O Yeah", as a tongue-in-cheek move against the critics and on occasion has played the entire "Where Is My Mind?" breaking straight into "O Yeah".
