Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Trio's song Ya Ya depict a sense of anticipation and impatience for a person, the 'ya ya', to arrive. The singer is sitting in a place referred to as 'la la' and is waiting for the 'ya ya' to come, but deep down, they do not believe that the person will arrive. The repetition of 'Uh huh' in the chorus adds to the sense of frustration and disbelief. The singer implores the 'baby' not to make them worry and to hurry up, indicating that the person may already be running late. The final lines of the song reinforce the singer's doubt about the arrival of the 'ya ya', suggesting that the situation may be futile.


The song's lyrics can be interpreted in different ways depending on the listener's perspective. It could be an ode to a long-awaited lover, a friend, or someone who failed to show up, causing disappointment for the singer. The use of the phrase 'la la' adds an air of surrealism to the song and is open to interpretation. The repetitive structure of the song, with the same lyrics being repeated throughout, creates a sense of monotony mixed with urgency, making the song catchy, and easy to sing along to.

Brilliant one this, they didn't quite do the same with Tutti Frutti though....this first album is amazing, even Da Da Da is bearable when you haven't heard it for a while! ;)
