"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, that was originally released as a single by the group The Beads on the Decca label in October 1971.[1][2][3] It was one of the earliest records produced by Peter Collins and he also wrote the B-side "Sweetie Peetie". The single was released in the UK and most territories in Europe as well as Turkey[4] and the Lebanon.[5]

The actor and singer Jack Wild recorded his version of the song, produced by Biddu[6] for his 1972 album, A Beautiful World. It was released on Buddah Records in the US[7][8][9] and received a positive review from Billboard.[10] The Japanese release of the Beautiful World album was called Punch and Judy.[11] A version with Italian text by Dino Sarti[12] called "Io... Aio" was also released by the Italian group, Domodossola, a vocal and instrumental Italian group named after their birthplace,[13] on their 1971 album, D... Come Domodossola (1971).[14][15][16][17]
