"Ole Black 'n' Blue Eyes" is a song by The Fratellis. It was the fifth and final track to be released from their debut album Costello Music. This single was released as an EP with 3 b-sides.

The single charted at #168 in the UK Singles Chart, making it the lowest charting single by the band to date although considering the fact that it was released as the fifth single (let alone a limited edition EP) from the band's highly successful, big-selling debut album. The single received some airplay on radio stations, but not much.

The Music Video for the song is a cartoon that shows the band in a western style city. They are catching some sort of crazy woman monster all throughout the video but she always gets away. The woman has black and blue eyes, most likely a reference to the song title. In the end, we learn that she also bails the Fratellis out of trouble and they eventually let her run off into the open desert freely.

The song "Mon Yous, Mon Us, But No Them" tells a story using names of the members from The Fratellis' official website. It is also used as a sign off when Jon Fratelli posts on the site and is also in the footer of the website since the revamp in 2008.
