"Oh Sheila" is a 1985 single by Ready for the World. The song went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, the Hot Black Singles and the Hot Dance Club Play charts. It was the first of two chart toppers for the band on the Billboard R&B chart, preceding their 1986 number-one R&B hit, "Love You Down". The song's introduction has a brief spoken word section, done in a pseudo-Australian accent, possibly a reference to the fact that Sheila is a slang term in that country for a woman.
