"Oh My God" is a song by Kaiser Chiefs, initially released as their debut single by the Drowned In Sound label on May 17, 2004. It only hit #66 in the UK charts. "Oh My God" was re-released on February 21, 2005, just two weeks before the release of their debut album Employment. This time, it peaked at #6 in the UK charts, which earned the band their first top 10 hit, as well as being their highest-charting single at the time until it was succeeded by UK chart topper "Ruby" on February 25, 2007.
The original single release, now a rarity due to its limited run of 500 copies, features artwork by frontman Ricky Wilson, and its' b-sides were "Born to Be a Dancer" and "Caroline, Yes", both of which would also appear on Employment.
In 2006, "Oh My God" was covered by Lily Allen on her second mixtape.
At the 2:36 mark very faint, incomprehensible talking can be heard in the background.
