"Oh No, Not You Again" is a song by The Rolling Stones, included as part of their 2005 hit album A Bigger Bang. The song is listed as track ten on the album, and is the latest in a long line of compositions by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

[edit] Brief History

"Oh No, Not You Again" is one of the most well-known tracks from the new album, the Stones' first new studio record since 1997's Bridges to Babylon. The song was used in media campaigns and tour promotions for the band. It was the first new song from A Bigger Bang played for a public audience in a surprise performance at the Juilliard School in New York City.

Throughout the 2005-2006 A Bigger Bang Tour, which has carried the Stones throughout North America and now parts of Europe, "Oh No, Not You Again" has been played continuously and received generally well by fans and critics alike, although critics have noted the similarities in structure to previous Rolling Stones efforts from the early 1970s.

The song got significant airplay on rock radios in the U.S. reaching #34 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks in December 2005.

Charlie Watts has also jokingly said that the song's title should also be the name of the album, referring to the band's constant return to the studio.

[edit] Next Single?

The tune was erroneously believed to be the next single released from A Bigger Bang in Spring 2005. This rumor proved untrue when in April 2005 it was announced that the European summer single would be "Biggest Mistake."

[edit] Trivia

An easter egg on the interactive website for the new program Supernatural (TV Series), airing on the newly-renamed CW network, mentions this song in a newspaper clipping about a concert, found in the weapons box.
