What's your favorite song that literally has a bunch of "la-la-la's" in it?


Mine is from my favorite group - - Simple Minds

"Don't You (Forget About Me)"

~ the now-famous 'la-la-la's' start in at about the 3:45 minutes mark

(and lead singer Jim Kerr is so adorably cute to me here! Ha! In fact, the entire group is nice on the eyes to me)

    "La-La Means I Love You" by The Delfonics, 1968.

    LYRICS:
    Many guys have come to you, with a line that wasn't true
    And you passed them by (Passed them by)
    So you're in the center ring, and their lines don't mean a thing
    Why don't you let me try (Let me try)
    Now I don't wear a diamond ring, I don't even have a song to sing
    All I know is: La la la la la la la la la means
    I love you
    Oh, baby please now
    La la la la la la la la la means
    I love you

    If I ever saw a girl, that I needed in this world
    You are the one for me (One for me)
    Let me hold me in my arms, and thrill you with my charms
    I'm sure you will see (You will see)
    The things I am sayin' are true, and the way I explain them to you
    Listen to me: La la la la la la la la la means
    I love you
    Oh, baby baby
    La la la la la la la la la means
    I love you

    The things I am sayin' are true, and the way I explain them to you, yes to you
    Listen to me: La la la la la la la la la means
    I love you
    You know, you'll have to understand now
    La la la la la la la la la means
    I love you

    Come on and take my hand . . .

    I liked the song immediately. I'm surprised a bit; I'm not always drawn to songs in this style.
    :)
    I like the video, too.
    Thanks Livvie! This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at April 15, 2021 9:31 PM MDT

    Wow!
    That drew me in more and more as it went along! A bit creepy to me which added to its appeal for me.  :)

    I know you've been answering several other questions of mine, too, thanks! And I've not kept up at all in responding to you - -I apologize! Work is very busy for me lately and for many weeks to come.

    I know I already answered this, but I love Ava Max’s new My Head & My Heart.  lol, This is one of those posts that I didn’t even remember when I saw the notification on it.

    Here’s the song she sampled:

    Well, my new dad has told me I have to go to bed now, so I'm just going to go with the first song that popped in my head.

    I just now replied and this is more than 2 years old! Hahaha! I didn't even notice at first. 

    I really love being brought back to old posts  I've either missed or have interacted on previously. Sometimes I miss notifications because the 'send me notifications' box gets unchecked somehow. Anyway, I like it when Randy (usually it's him and Stu I've noticed) goes back and comments on old things and I see it on the home page and like this one, I didn't even notice it was THREE plus years old! 

    I'm rambling... sorry. LOL!

    I'm still sort of swamped and unsure of when and where I'll post, ha. but thanks for your answer and posts here.
    Yeah, this time Flint Ironstag posted and Livvie then posted, too and you!  :)

    Nope, you're not rambling. :)

    I miss it here when my life gets too swamped to come around. Well, it depends on what's swamping me, I guess. Work, definitely I miss it here. Ha!

    Yes, I ramble and I like dogs. That's me. :)
