Oh, well, I'm, UH!, sittin' here,la la

It may sound funny but I don't believe she's comin', ah-um, ah-um
Baby hurry, don't make me worry, ah-um, ah-um
Yeah baby hurry, don't make me worry, ah-um, ah-um
You know that I love you, oh, how I love you, ah-um, ah-um
A sittin' here la la waitin' for my ya ya, ah-huh, ah-huh

And a lot of bad music. One tends to forget that there was elevator muzak everywhere back then. How about the Bubblegum kiddie songs? But yes, if you knew hat to look for, there was fantastic music around.

If you have to say that cheesy, "N'awlins," since you think it's cool, then you are brain dead.
This was a favorite song of my high school days. It's a classic. Most of the music heard in this time isn't pure I'm 74 now And I'm greatful I can hear sounds and still recall most of the awesome muzik of the 60's and beyond...
Music was good and simple and we could dance to it then. I still love it.
.... ONE OF THE GREATEST RHYTHM & BLUES ARTISTS EVER ....
I remember listening to this with my dad on his car radio.We thought the words were so funny we started laughing.The singer has a great voice made this song great.
I was 10 years old when I first heard this song, I'm amazed of how its still smooth today !! 😃❤

I am Yaya to my Only Granddaughter. She loves calling me Yaya. I heard a boyfriend of a friend of my daughters when she was young was named Yaya! And just adored that name. When I found out Yaya was for a Grandmother in Greek...I knew right then what I would be called!! My Soninlaw found this song. I had totally forgotten it existed, but remembered immediately!!! Now my Granddaughter loves hearing it to!!! Yaya forever, my favorite thing! Thank you Lee Dorsey wherever you are!
(from Bolivia) I can't believe I forget this great song. my nickname has always been YaYa - a relaxed, happy person.
It's only one bad thing with this song-it's too short.

It's surreal watching the elements of this performance, given the context..love seeing the women rocking out and really enjoying the music
Notice two things: Back then, all the girls would clap left hand over right hand and then right over left. Also, the girl at 1:15 is much cuter than the girl sitting next to him on his left. My 2nd term of my 1st year at "party school" (aka College!); right before I went into the Service and Vietnam. Props to Lee Dorsey... P.S. In case you're interested: La La stands for Louisiana and Ya Ya stands for his GF (girl friend)

Good Stuff!
I love the clapping groove,So awesome.This is not a competition every singer in each decade is talented in their own way.
Just got a 3month old female yorkie, of course, had to name her YaYa...
Aloha, brings back such good memories of a happy, innocent time in my life as a young preteen. Great song 💽 📺 📻🎶❣️
❤
No auto tune, overdubz, or any other artificial ingredients. 100% all natural & organic! This is how it's done folks.👍
Lazy Lee's just suberb, great footage!
Looks like a young milner on the top row this song rocks
I was nonexistent at that time
Good music is color blind and welcomes all diverse ethnic groups
Keep on Rocking !!
Your dad used to sing this while we were dating ,my grandma thought he made it up till she heard it on the radio. She thought it was the stupidest thing she ever heard she said what's a la la and a ya ya
1:15 that dude had a balloon with a face drawn on it lol
