"My My My" is a song by American producer and DJ Armand van Helden. The song contains a sample of the 1984 song "Comin' Apart" by Gary Wright from the 1981 studio album The Right Place. The track was produced in 2004 and included on the album Nympho. When released as a single, it became a top-10 success in Australia, Flemish Belgium, Denmark and Norway, while reaching number 15 on the UK Singles Chart.

An alternative version of "My My My", stylized as "MyMyMy" and featuring vocals from Tara McDonald, was released in 2006 and peaked at number 12 in the United Kingdom, three places above the original. It was also more successful than the original in Ireland, reaching number 25 compared to the original's peak of number 36.

Music video

The music video features a dream sequence of a geeky man (Beeny Royston), who is sunbathing on the beach wearing a raincoat and orange speedos. He spots a young woman in her bikini in a beach house behind him, and she invites him into the house, into an all-girls' party. At the end of the video the viewer finds out that he was daydreaming and that when he appeared to be kissing a girl he was actually kissing his dog.
