"Oh La La La" is the debut single by German Eurodance group 2 Eivissa. It is produced by "Team 33" and was released on 6 June 1997, as the lead single from the album of the same name.[1] The song is their most commercially successful single to date, topping the charts in Italy and Spain. It also reached number 13 in the United Kingdom and number 19 in Ireland. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Oh La La La" peaked at number 32 in October 1997. The song interpolates the hook and guitar riff from Crystal Waters' 1991 song "Gypsy Woman".[2]
Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "this is good-time dance fodder with no lofty agenda. Instead, Euro-pop producers Team 33 has crafted a galloping bassline that make you want to twirl and sing along with the song's giddy chorus. Fun, fun, fun stuff".[3] Music & Media commented that "the production team behind the success of such artists as Fun Factory have already enjoyed success with this track in their native Germany—where the song is a bonafide smash—in Italy and in the Netherlands. Their fine production job makes the most of a strong hook and nagging chorus, reminiscent of Crystal Waters' Gypsy Woman.""[4]
Music video
The music video for "Oh La La La" was directed by Camelot.[5]
