Ooh La La Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dial up my number now
Weaving it through the wire
Switch me on, turn me up
Don't want it Baudelaire, just glitter lust

Switch me on, turn me up
I want to touch you, you're just made for love

[Chorus]
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]
Coils up and 'round me
Teasing your poetry
Switch me on, turn me up
Oh, child of Venus, you're just made for love

[Chorus]
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la
[Bridge]
You know I walk for days
I wanna waste some time
You wanna be so mean
You know I love to watch
I wanna love some more
I'll never be the same
A broken heel like a heart
I'll never walk again

Yeah

[Chorus]
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la
I need la-la-la-la-la-la
I need ooh-la-la-la-la

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Goldfrapp say about "Ooh La La"?
Genius Answer

Will Gregory told KeyboardMag about one of the recoding quirks present in the song:

Sometimes I’m playing keyboards and Alison’s singing. In fact, on ‘Ooh La La’, I played this bass line while she was singing and her microphone picked up quite a lot of me clattering on the keys. We actually used that in the chorus. It sounds awfully like horses galloping."

In fact, horse imagery is common on Supernature’s imagery, being present in the “Ooh La La” music video (seen in the gif below), the album’s press photos, and in the song “Ride a White Horse” (as well as its live performances).

Are there any alternate versions of this song?
Genius Answer

As well as the many remixes featured in the CD single releases, the band also has an acoustic, “hillbilly” version of the song, which they performed frequently during Seventh Tree’s promotional campaign.

Why did the duo choose "Ooh La La" as the lead single?
Genius Answer

Will Gregory told GoGo:

It was quite a clear choice, that one, because it was up and in your face and it carried on the theme of the glammy, disco-y beat from the last album"
