Small Faces - Sha La La La Lee Lyrics

Final year at secondary school (5th ). What a song ! One of my classmates Tony Lawrie was always singing or humming it during Art lesson....good times Tony....

Its a way of life, ktf 2020!!

Steve was simply the best of the best......

❤ 🎶 ❤ 🎶 ❤ 🎶 ❤ 🎶 ❤

Steve turns this bit o' teen fluff into a great song!

Still sadly missed RIP Steve! :( x

They were one of my favorite bands from the sixties ... and I have many. take care dear sixties bands.

If you get the chance go see the Small Fakers,tribute band obviously,they are superb 👌

Immer wieder Small Faces. Sie werden immer dabei sein.

I was 21 years old when this fab classic came out im now 74 years old , i will always adore the 60s era what a time we had memories to cherish foe ever until eternity lol xx

Best time to be young Jane , we were so lucky !

@Roger Coleman We sure were 75 reporting in from the home for the chronically groovy

Greatest garage band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

honest to goodness, the older I get, the better these guys sound!

was für eine Stimme...

yeah, the good ol' 'beat club' from Bremen with sexy Uschi ...

who is the frontman singing is it steve Marriott

Hi Yes.

@Stan Stan thank you

@Edward Kemp thank you

Bass player myself nice comment mate

Loved the Bass on this track....quite easy to follow

NOTE: The first several songs are of The Byrds during their heyday. Then the final 2/3rds are some raw footage of the Small Faces playing live. Great band, RIP Steve Marriott

saw them singing live in the streatham locarno long time ago , really good , loved them then still love them now . So sad the way stevie died , R-I-P peace stevie.

I used to go there back in the 1960's - great place!

Known as the Small Faces because their height ranged from 5'2" to 5'5".

@Jacky J Jones I'm afraid they were.

@Christopher Heath Yeah I know... but just to be sure.... you CAN SEE that the video is squashed right? I mean... just look at the bass drum, it's egg shaped!!

@Jacky J Jones Go look it up on social media if you don't believe me.

@Christopher Heath Look man.. I knew both Steve and Ronnie ok... they weren't fucking midgets!!! It's the fuckwit that put this video together... he had the aspect ratio wrong. There's nothing worse than making short people look even fucking shorter!!!

@Jacky J Jones I've met Chris Farlowe and he was very small (perhaps 5'3", no more). Here's a picture of him standing next to Steve Marriot and he's about five or six inches taller than Steve. https://www.alamy.com/dec-26-2011-chris-farlowe-and-steve-marriott-small-faces-image69512899.html. That makes Marriot less than five feet.

Kenny Lynch RIP he wrote the song and Steve hated him singing on the song

dear Kenny lynch ...I was lucky enough to meet him ...and steve marriot wow what a voice ..surely one of THE best out there ever...period

RIP ❤️😎

The guy who wrote this died today r i p Kenny lynch

Here because of Kenny Lynch RIP

Kenny Lynch RIP the writer of this great pop song.

RIP Kenny Lynch, who wrote this and died today.

I honestly never knew this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and I have followed the small faces for donkeys year,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,every day is an education.

just try to find someone today to make a song like this……..

I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny many years ago at a charity golf bash, a real gent and very funny too. RIP Kenny.

RIP kenny

See who the jam modelled themselves on

We was so young 😉

Better than the beatles

OH YA 💙IT 💛IT 👍👍✌🦄😎🦄

Some say the lyrics on this mean it can't be the best Small Faces song, but nothing else they recorded captures the excitement of being young and going out on dates quite like this. Brilliant song. Never get sick of hearing it.

This is the music I was played when I was tiny by my Mam and I loved it from the very first time I heard it they sounded so exciting and cool.

Fantastic song 64

I love youtube it takes me back and compiling a list of my favorites and this is on my list

Tell me about it. I was born into the decade and these songs were with me for my whole life.

I have the belly,not much hair, cant swagger,but love this song.

VERY GOOD!"

My favourite song amazing

Picked her up on a Friday night

Sha la la la lee

I held her close and I asked her if she was gonna be my baby
It felt so good when she answered me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

She looked good and she moved so fine
Sha la la la lee, yeah
And all the guys knew she was mine

I held her close and I asked her again if she was gonna be my baby
It felt so good when she answered me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Wanna know how my story ends?
Sha la la la lee, yeah
Well we invited just a few close friends
Sha la la la lee, yeah
Sha la la la lee

Sha la la la la la lee [x11]

Låtskrivare: Kenny Lynch och Mort Shuman

That's good work

Steve Marriot the real Modfather

One of my fave songs.

Steve Marriot was the was the mod father

mr_two_tone yes defo

I was 14. I am now 67. Steve Marriott is still the best rock/soul/pop voice I ever heard.

Then you never heard Stevie Winwood

Steve Winwood's voice is astounding - top five.

Stewart Nicol yes I agree

Ahhh Steve. My fave Small Faces songs are Tin Soldier and Itchycoo Park. The man was too good to be anything but a front man!💖💖💖💖

one of the UK's 60s greatest... underrated gold

Such a shame they didn't like this song. Their manager Don Arden wanted a song like Do Wah Diddy by Manfred Mann and turned to Kenny Lynch and Mort Shuman who wrote this.

.......

I like this song today in 2019 just as much as I did in 1966 when it came out, great faces 60s song I had the original single,

I was 3 when this came out, wish l was born earlier to take in the whole 60’s music scene.

southlondon63 same as me oh well we can still listen to it the sound is amazing

A young man asks a young lady out for dinner and after the desert opens his phone and plays This.

Remember this from way back then.

Forgot what an amazing voice he had ...... ridiculously good

thetruth yes pure genius

thetruth check out are cover

'We invited just a few close friends'....my favourite line in it, or any other Small faces song.

Great sound

Truly a voice on fire!
Second to none.

Great song , Great words, Great style, Great times . I was only 5

Show off!!

Just heard this on Golden Years Radio . net and all the 60's music that gets played takes me back to the good old days when I had a rock band called The Presidents. Our recording for Decca in 1965 was lost for 53 years and just released in June 2018 and Golden Years has included it in the playlist.  Got the old band back together and made a video so it's me 78 miming to me singing 25 - great fun and who knows we might trend : -)    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjcKGcM0Rtc Hi Edward please share if you can - thanks

I ask the way you wanna go?????

I asked her, where do you wanna go?

Soulful.

saw them many times in london lucky to see them local in bromley kent when this came out great band.

I’m only 37 but I absolutely love this band!

I had the small faces haircut loved it looked great way back then now its snow white but still there no beer belly though

i thought it was the rattles song

Where are the voices like this nowadays !!

Ste Bentley we do covers of this not as good as him but check us out

So all the Alphabet soup millennials will be decrying this ffs

Still play this song regularly. Saw them in Sydney in about 1967.
They had just released Tin Soldier.
The Who were the headline band.
My 1st concert. Gr8 memories. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, my pleasure.

We will never see their like again

LA chanson des années 60

marriot = sex on toast.

The Bass routine is very easy....RIP Plonk

That's a mixed message

THE best mod band ever. They owned the mod scene.
Where have all those good times gone. ?

Bernie Woods just amazing

What a bad song!

Absolute Mod Legends.. what a raw sound.

Stevie Rocks

David Drewett he’s the best

RIP Plonk

love the small faces but all or nothing is my favorite

Wow Stevie!

This is a typical 60's song that is very hard to beat

Charles Duguid true

So sad that so many of the faces, forgive the non intended pun,are not with us today but at least the fab!! music lives on

I remember going into Lewis’s in Blackpool on a Saturday when this was playing, still sounds absolutely brilliant. The original mod band. 👏👏👏👏

I was a medical student the year this came out happy days I'm an old fart now being old is no fun

IM 77 NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY DO THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY

pastor stop acting like an old fart ,,,we are a long time dead however thats just what you sound like ,,,,,,,,

The best band from the 60s. Musically, equalled the Beatles, bettered the Stones, wrote the best rock story in Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. Then Steve Marriott left and Rod Stewart joined the band that powered him into the Rock stratosphere. RIP. Steve, Ronnie and Ian.

far better than the beatles

I know I’m not from this era so please excuse my comment, it’s meant to be a compliment. I honestly believe he was an inspiration for Jack White. This lead singer (sorry don’t know his name, just found them today) is so progressive for his time! Wow!

VirreFriberg wow!! I’ve never heard one Humble Pie song but I’ve heard of them. Is he the singer? I knew Ron Wood was in Faces and Rod Stewart’s band Rod Stewart and The Faces. How interesting! I can see why they remained in the rock scene, they were good. Humble Pie, what song would you suggest for me to listen to, did he write the songs for them too? Oh and thank you!

​@Layla Reeves Lead vocals in Humble Pie were carried out by either Greg Ridley, Peter Frampton or Steve Marriott. The tracks were written predominantly by either Frampton or Marriott. For songs, I'd personally recommend "30 Days In The Hole" or "Wrist Job" as I believe these are the tracks where Marriott's vocal talents are apparent.

VirreFriberg I know Frampton! I had no idea he was part of Humble Pie. You know a lot about music from this era, thank you! I’m going to listen to those songs, I’ll let you know my opinion if you’re interested? What happened to the lead singer of Small Faces, was he the guitarist? When I watched him perform live I was blown away by his playing. It seems everyone else in these types of groups were just strumming and he was really playing. I’m a fan of TRex too. My friend had a sister when we were kids who was 15-20 years older than her and she played that album with Metal Garu on it and I fell in love with them. Marc Bolan was already dead by then. Sad. I thought he was so cute lol. Oh sorry, you said Steve was the singer of Humble Pie too. Ignore that part lol

VirreFriberg I just listened to 2 different versions of 30 Days in the Hole live and I’m blown away!!! Wow. Thank you! I’m going to listen to more of Humble Pie. Can I ask you what type of rock they were considered? Was it just straight up Rock? Again thank you for all your information and if you have any other recommendations please feel free to share. I’m an 80’s kid who listened to punk rock like The Clash and The Ramones, but I have an eclectic taste. My son collects albums and I think he would love Humble Pie also.

@Layla Reeves I would categorize Humble Pie as blues rock, hard rock or straight rock and roll. Some of their songs have aspects of psychedelic rock too. As for recommendations I'd recommend The Jam's first two studio albums (In The City and This Is The Modern World) since I found them rather influenced by punk rock. If you have time, you should check out the Small Faces earlier stuff too, song such as "Come On Children" and "You Need Loving" are pretty heavy songs for the era.

Loved this band. I bet they were a right bunch of hard's at school though.

They hated this song but its my favourate

I love these guys!!!!

One of the best singers ever. Great group and songs from the best era.

Wing collars look good on Steve

Steve Marriott little guy with a booming voice seen him with humble pie
