a phrase, originally from France, used for showing surprise, admiration, or excitement about something, especially when referring to something that is connected with France or French people, or when something of a sexual nature is involved: Someone actually said "ooh la la" when they saw his new barbecue.

Classic French Expression Usage notes: English speakers probably say it more than anyone, but oh là là is still a classic French phrase / exclamation used to express a fairly strong reaction, whether good or bad: excitement, surprise, disappointment, etc. Oh là là !

ooh la la is an alternate spelling of Ouh là là. Double/multiple o's in French are pronounced like they would be in English, and are often used in books, comic strips, and online to suggest an exaggerated pronunciation (as you can see in the title of this adorable YouTube video).

"Ooh La La" is a 1973 song by the band Faces, written by Ronnie Lane and Ronnie Wood. It is the title song of the band's last studio album, Ooh La La. Warner Bros. The lead vocals were provided by Wood, a rarity in the band's catalogue; lead vocals were usually performed by Rod Stewart and less often by Ronnie Lane.
