Ooh La La
Goldfrapp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

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
I need la la la la la
I need ooo la la la la
Calls up and round me
Teasing your poetry
Switch me on, turn me up
Oh child of Venus you're just
Made for love
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Goldfrapp's song Ooh La La are centered around desire, love, and addiction. The song speaks about wanting to be switched on and turned up, desiring to be deeply connected with someone, even teasingly referred to as "child of Venus" in the lyrics. There is a sense of urgency in the request to "dial up my number now, weaving it through the wire," as the need for connection and gratification is great.


The chorus repeats "I need la la la la la, I need ooo la la la la," reinforcing the need for that ultimate high that only love and physical touch can provide. The lyrics also touch on the darker side of love and addiction, with lines such as "you wanna be so mean," and "a broken heel like a heart, I'll never walk again," both of which suggest a painful, perhaps emotionally scarring, experience.


Overall, the lyrics of Ooh La La invite the listener to indulge in their deepest desires, urging them to switch on and turn up, but also hinting at the risks and potential consequences that come with chasing after that hunger.


Line by Line Meaning

Dial up my number now
Call me right away


Weaving it through the wire
Sending the call through a phone line


Switch me on, turn me up
Get me excited and ready


Don't want it Baudelaire
I'm not looking for sophistication


Just glitter lust
I want a shiny and superficial attraction


I want to touch you you're just
I want intimacy with you because that's what we're meant for


Made for love
We are perfect for each other romantically


I need la la la la la
I need excitement and passion


I need ooo la la la la
I need pleasure and joy


Calls up and round me
People are calling me all the time


Teasing your poetry
I'm enjoying your sweet talk


Oh child of Venus you're just
You are beautiful and erotic


You know I walk for days
I can travel long distances just to see you


I wanna waste some time
I want to spend time with you without worrying about anything else


You wanna be so mean
You're teasing me but I like it


You know I love to watch
I enjoy observing you and your behavior


I wanna love some more
I want to continue my infatuation with you


I'll never be the same
You've changed my life


A broken heel like a heart
My injury represents my broken heart


I'll never walk again
I'll never be able to heal from this heartbreak

Ich kann immer wieder nur sagen ...
HAMMER SONG UND HAMMER VIDEO DAZU.
Trifft mich jedesmal wieder in der Seele.
Danke, dass es solche Künstler wie Euch gibt die es möglich machen solche Lieder zu produzieren und noch Coole Videos zu machen die zusätzlich unter die Haut gehen.
VIELEN VIELEN DANK.
Von einem Fan der Eure Musik
Versteht und auch fühlt.
Das gibt mir wieder lebensmut.
Ist so ein geiles Lebensgefühl.
Mit solchen Liedern kann man die Welt verändern.
Aber es gibt viel zu viele Kapitalisten die alles kaputt machen.
Lebt Euer Leben denn Ihr habt nur dieses eine.
Hört euch mal diese Musik an
Dann müsstet ihr verstehen das Geld nicht alles ist im leben.
Famiele / Freunde / Lebensfreude
Das ist was zählt.
Versteht Ihr das denn immer noch nicht?

But there are far too many capitalists who ruin everything. Live your life because you only have this one. Listen to this music Then you should understand that money is not everything in life. Famiele / friends / joy of life That is what counts. Do you still not understand that?

This video is more than 10 years old and still feels ahead of its time.

It sounds kinda boring now tbh. Loved it when it came out but it’s a really simple, repetitive song.

Storageheater

i would like to reinstate all the offence. this is only ahead of its time if the person claiming that has no knowledge of anything more than a few years old and little sense of curiosity, and that would make them a person I think should be offended more often

For anyone who doesn't realise, this video is a homage to 70's glam rock.

Raymond Cowie

The T.Rex influence is palpable...

She should have married Marc Bolan. Beautiful couple.

Norm Turner

More like 80s synth pop with those instruments & Simmons style drum pads. 70s was glam, sure but not in this way. Yes I’m old enough to remember it all. 🤨
