'Sha-La-La-La-Lee' was the third song by English R&B-influenced group Small Faces, recorded in December 1965 and released on 28 January 1966, reaching number three in the UK Singles Chart.[1] It was also the first single by the group to feature Ian McLagan on keyboards.
Because the group's previous song release, the Marriott/Lane composition 'I've Got Mine,' failed to chart in the UK, their manager, Don Arden, determined that the Small Faces would not be one hit wonders, decided to bring in well-known songwriters Kenny Lynch and Mort Shuman to make sure the group's next single would be a success.[2]
The commercial-sounding song proved a big hit and reached number three in the UK singles chart.[1] Despite the success of 'Sha-La-La-La-Lee,' the band never really liked the song and felt it did not represent their sound, which was more R&B- and soul-oriented.[1]
Following the huge success of this song, the band developed a large female fan base, like many of their contemporaries.[3] This situation would ultimately end in Marriott becoming so disenchanted that he would leave The Small Faces in 1969 in a bid to be seen as a serious musician and form his next group, the heavier rock- and blues-sounding Humble Pie.[4]
Small Faces performed 'Sha-La-La-La-Lee' live for the Dick Clark show in the United States, telerecorded from the UK.[1] Pushim it a drama rar download free.
B-side[edit]
The B-side 'Grow Your Own' written by the band, is an instrumental recording and strongly influenced in style by Booker T. & the M.G.'s, of whom all the group were big fans. 'Grow Your Own' heavily features Ian McLagan on the Hammond organ.[1] Esxi 6.7 keygen key.
Usage[edit]
In Japan, 'Sha-La-La-La-Lee', arranged to French pop style, was used for the advertisement of Suzuki Alto Lapin.[5]
It was used in the second episode of the first season of the 2019 British TV series, Sex Education.

She's got a slip in aluminium, Sha La Lala Lee.. Yeah !
Sha La Lala Lee..
Faut la voir valser du plongeoir, Sha La La La Lee.. Yeah !
En axel 'S' comme dans sa baignoire, Sha La La La Lee.. Yeah !
Sha La La La Lee..
Ses cheveux décolorés mouillés, mouillés, mouillés, mouillés, mouillés
Fait des bulles et de la vapeur, Sha La La La Lee.. Yeah !
Sha La La La Lee..
J'ai pas peur de me mouiller
Mouiller, mouiller, mouiller, mouiller, mouiller
Recto-verso et vice-versa, Sha La La La Lee.. Yeah !

Sha La La La La La Lee.. Sha La La La La La Lee..
