Songs with "La la la la...." lyrics.

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

I love the British sound and style. I've always preferred it to American. Two songs that I particularly like are by British artists and end in a series of "La la la.." type lyrics which I could listen to over and over.

Absolutely love them and for me proves the adage that "there is joy in repetition."

Number 1: Don't you (forget about me) by Simple Minds ends in a ... laaaaaa la la la la... la la la la.... etc.

Number 2: Hey Jude by the Beatles ends in a different la la la la ... lalalala......

Number 3: Smurfs theme song.... la la la la la lalala laaaa

Are there any other lalala type songs that you know of that I've missed?

I love the first two... and find the third memorable too :)

Cheers.

You should love this band then.........

The La's

The La's were an English rock band of the late 1980s and early 1990s from Liverpool consisting of frontman Lee Mavers (vocals) and John Power (bass, backing vocals), plus a rotating cast of guitarists and drummers. The band wrote the original version of the famous song "There She Goes".

I think maybe this doesn't quite classify but - "Sing"

written by Joe Raposo (Sesame Street fame)

no wuckers sobri...

how about 'lovin' You' by Minnie Ripperton (lovin you, is easy cause you're beautiful etc) ...you know, that one with the really high-pitched bit. The Orb sampled it a few years back, and I think its been referenced in South Park (or was it the simpsons?).

Another three that came to mind today are:

1. Around the world - by A Touch of Class

....

Just la la la la la

It goes around the world

Just la la la la la

It's all around the world

Just la la la la la

And everybody singing

La la la la la And our bells are ringing

La la la la la La la la

2. La La La means I Love You - by The Delfonics

ow I don’t wear a diamond ring

I don’t even have a song to sing

All I know is

"a la la la la la la la la means

I love you

[1: Oh’ baby please now

2: Oh... baby]

"a la la la la la la la la means

I love you

3. La La La He He Hee - by Prince.

La, La, La, He, He, Hee

I want you, you want me

Oh how sexy it will be

If we ever get together in my tree

Please post up any more lalala type songs!

Yeah the nanana is a variation and you might be right about Hey Jude being 'na' rather than 'la' but I've always sung it as 'la' for whatever reason.

I'm sure there's a whole heap of nanana songs too. I'll have to make a list of those too at some point.
