Content

"My, Oh My" is a mid-tempo song with a traditional production featuring banjo, fiddle, and cowbell. The song's narrator notices how everything changes so rapidly, and remembers when there was empty land where there are now parking lots and stores.

The song is performed completely in duet form by both members of The Wreckers (Branch and Harp), as opposed to other songs where they alternate between verses ("Leave the Pieces") or one member has lead vocals on a certain song (Harp on "Tennessee").

A music video was released in October 5, 2006, directed by Paul Boyd, features Jessica Harp and Michelle Branch riding in a horse-drawn carriage. They pick up a banker with a briefcase full of cash. Then they stage a robbery of the cash with their gang/band. When the police show up they pretend to be innocents and slowly slip away with the cash. It ends with the whole group posing for a photo. The video is done old western style. It was filmed in the Mojave Desert in California.
