    "Ooh La La" is a 1973 song by the band Faces, written by Ronnie Lane and Ronnie Wood. It was the title song for the band's last studio album, Ooh La La.

    The lead vocals were provided by Wood, a rarity in the band's catalog, as most lead vocals were by Rod Stewart or less often by Ronnie Lane. Stewart and Lane recorded lead vocals for it, however their producer suggested Wood give it a try, and that was the version that was used for the track which appeared on the record.

    Lane recorded his own version after leaving the Faces in 1973 with his new group, Slim Chance. Lane's version featuring slightly altered lyrics to what he wrote for the Faces. Although Lane's version was never released during his lifetime, it appeared as the title track of the 2014 Slim Chance compilation Ooh La La: An Island Harvest. Lane performed his version of the song right up until he retired from the music business in 1992.

    Wood has performed the song in his solo concerts between 1987-2012.

    Ooh La La (Goldfrapp song)

    "Ooh La La" is a song performed by English group Goldfrapp. The song was written and produced by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory for the duo's third album Supernature (2005). The song consists largely of a synthesizer and guitar arrangement and was inspired by the disco era.

    The song was released as the album's lead single in August 2005 to positive reviews from music critics. It was a commercial success, reaching the top forty on the majority of the charts it entered, and topped the United States dance chart. The song has been remixed a number of times and was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 49th Grammy Awards in 2007.

    Background and writing

    Goldfrapp began work on "Ooh La La" in late 2004 in a small rented house in the countryside of Bath, England. The song was composed as a collaborative effort between Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory while jamming in the recording studio, bouncing song ideas off each other. Goldfrapp contributed the song's lyrics, and has described the song as being "sulky, sexual and a bit ambiguous". In "Ooh La La", she confesses to wanting only a sexual relationship without romance.

    Ooh La La

    by: Young Dubliners

    Poor, old granddad
    I laughed at all his words
    I thought he was a bitter man
    He spoke of women's ways
    Trap you, then they use you
    Before you even know
    For love is blind, you're far too kind
    Don't ever let it show
    I wish that I knew what I know now
    When I was younger
    Wish that I knew what I know now
    When I was stronger
    Can-can's such a pretty show
    They steal your heart away
    But backstage, back on earth again
    The dressing rooms are gray
    They come on strong and it ain't too long
    Before they make you feel a man
    Love is blind and you will find
    You're just a boy again
    I wish that I knew what I know now
    When I was younger
    Wish that I knew what I know now
    When I was stronger
    When you want her lips, you get a cheek
    Makes you wonder where you are
    And if you want some more and she's fast asleep
    Then she's twinkling with the stars
    Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
    Have to learn just like me and that's the hardest way
    I wish that I knew what I know now
    When I was younger
    Wish that I knew what I know now
    When I was stronger
    I wish that I knew what I know now
    When I was younger
    Wish that I knew what I know now
    When I was stronger
    Ooh la la, ooh la la la la
    Ooh la la, ooh la la la la
    Ooh la la, ooh la la la la la la la
