Crazy About the La La La
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To each his own
Give everybody a chance
To dig what they really want to
I know just the other day
I was telling my baby
About the things that I dig
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout that la la la
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout that la la la (crazy 'bout that la la la)
Can't do without that la la la
Well, it might mean fish and chips
May mean toast and jam
Mama, but you know what it means
And about what a fool I am
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout that la la la
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout that la la la (crazy 'bout that la la la)
Can't do without that la la la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, well, now, now
It might mean where you kissed her
Say, it might the hallway light
But you know what it means
And you know it makes me feel all right (feel alright)
Oh, baby, oh, baby
Oh, baby, now
Crazy 'bout that la la la
Oh, baby, baby
Crazy 'bout that la la la (crazy 'bout that la la la)
Can't do without that la la la
I like it, I like it
(I do, too, I do, too)
Oh, got a thing for that la la la, oh
Oh, got to have that la, la, la, yeah, yeah
Ooh, I need that la la la
Got to have it, baby
Ooh, got a thing for the la la la
My chance rings for the la la la
La, la, la, la
Oh, baby
Crazy 'bout that la la la
Right on, right on
Crazy 'bout that la la la
Right on, right on
Right on, right on
The song "Crazy About The La La La" by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles is a fun and catchy tune about the things that we love and enjoy. The lyrics are all about personal preferences and how everyone should have the freedom to like what they like. The song is a celebration of individuality and self-expression. The singer talks about how he can't do without the things that he loves, and how they make him feel all right. The repeated refrain of "I'm crazy 'bout that la la la" is infectious, and it's easy to picture people singing and dancing along to the song.
The use of the phrase "la la la" throughout the song is intentionally vague and open to interpretation. It could refer to anything that the singer loves and can't do without. The song suggests that whatever it is that each of us loves, we should celebrate it and not be ashamed of it. The song has a positive message, and its upbeat rhythm and melody make it a feel-good tune that can lift anyone's spirits.
