Just a Song About Ping Pong is the third EP/single released by the Australian band Operator Please from their debut album Yes Yes Vindictive. It had existed before its official release in a different version which was originally included on Operator Please's first release, On the Prowl, which was released in 2006. The earlier version has a less-polished sound (due to not being professionally recorded) and is slightly slower.
It debuted at number 15 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart before reaching its peak of 12. It has also received significant airplay throughout New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The song won an ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist - Single.
The song was featured in the 16th episode of season 4 of the television series CSI: NY.
The song is often said to be about sex or a metaphor for something else, but lead singer and writer of the song, Amandah Wilkinson says it is simply just a song about ping pong.
