Lee Dorsey - Ya Ya - Live 1966 - Lyrics

[@TruthAndFreedom76]

People who lived during those times were exposed to so much great music!

[@Yankeededandy62]

And a lot of bad music. One tends to forget that there was elevator muzak everywhere back then. How about the Bubblegum kiddie songs? But yes, if you knew hat to look for, there was fantastic music around.

Beautiful,old school, when folks respected one another.😮

I remember listening to this with my dad on his car radio.We thought the words were so funny we started laughing.The singer has a great voice made this song great.

Time and time again,N'awlins music has captured the world.If this don't move you,you must be dead!

[@user-hz5yb4bh5v]

If you have to say that cheesy, "N'awlins," since you think it's cool, then you are brain dead.

[@calvalita]

This was a favorite song of my high school days. It's a classic. Most of the music heard in this time isn't pure I'm 74 now And I'm greatful I can hear sounds and still recall most of the awesome muzik of the 60's and beyond...

[@hilmarwensorra1215]

In very loving memory of Mr. Irvin Lee Dorsey (1926 - 1986 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).

[@Andyfresh-nt2um]

Really cool.

So I'm not the only 50 year old here ..I just turned 51 actually..This music is good to us cause it only came out 6 years before we were born..50's and 60:s music was still prominently being played on the radio when we were born..

Sang it to my yiayia (greek for grandma) now I am yia yia . Good times

[@teresitamcpherson5761]

I am Yaya to my Only Granddaughter. She loves calling me Yaya. I heard a boyfriend of a friend of my daughters when she was young was named Yaya! And just adored that name. When I found out Yaya was for a Grandmother in Greek...I knew right then what I would be called!! My Soninlaw found this song. I had totally forgotten it existed, but remembered immediately!!! Now my Granddaughter loves hearing it to!!! Yaya forever, my favorite thing! Thank you Lee Dorsey wherever you are!

[@MekongDelta6970]

Notice two things: Back then, all the girls would clap left hand over right hand and then right over left. Also, the girl at 1:15 is much cuter than the girl sitting next to him on his left. My 2nd term of my 1st year at "party school" (aka College!); right before I went into the Service and Vietnam. Props to Lee Dorsey... P.S. In case you're interested: La La stands for Louisiana and Ya Ya stands for his GF (girl friend)
