"E.O.I.O" (aka "Eeo-Eio" and "Io... Aio") is a song written by Lynsey de Paul (credited as Rubin) and Edward Adamberry, and published by Chappell.[1] It was originally released as a single by the group the Beads, on the Decca label in October 1971.[2][3][4] This was one of the earliest records produced by Peter Collins; he also wrote the B-side "Sweetie Peetie". The single was released in the UK and most territories in Europe, as well as Turkey (with a picture sleeve)[5] and Lebanon.[6]

The actor and singer Jack Wild recorded his version of "E.O.I.O.", produced by Biddu,[7] for his 1972 album A Beautiful World.[8] It was released on Buddah Records in the US[9][10][11] and received positive reviews from Billboard[12] and "High Fidelity Magazine".[13] Although the vinyl album version lists the song as "E.O.I.O.", the eight-track cartridge release lists the song as "Eeo-Eio" and features it twice.[14] The song also appeared as a track on his 1972 Japanese album, Punch And Judy.[15] Writing for "Do You Remember", Dana Daly mentions "E.O.I.O." as the stand out track from Beautiful World album.[16] The song is still played on American radio.[17]
A version of the song with Italian lyrics by Dino Sarti[18][19] called "Io... Aio" was also released by the Italian group, Domodossola (also known as "I Domodossola"), a vocal and instrumental ensemble named after their birthplace,[20] on their first album D... Come Domodossola in November 1971.[21][22][23][24][25] The album is listed in the "Discogrefia nazionale della canzone Italiana" (the Italian National Discography of Songs).[26] The group was championed by Italian singer Mina and the album was released on her PDU record label (distributed by EMI).[27]
