THE LA's There She Goes Reaction

[@michaellynch2497]

My son's godfather's brother, John Byrne was in this band and helped write this song. We were all at university together in Liverpool and must have heard five different masters of this song!

[@NxDoyle]

It was, is and will remain one of the greatest pop songs ever written.

[@brianalmeida1964]

It is pronounced The Lars not the LAs as in Los Angeles. La in Liverpool is short for Lad.

[@NxDoyle]

Including the r only works for people who don't pronounce r's eg some English accents, Australian, NZ. The simplest way to make it universal is 'lahz'.

Lee Mavers never took heroin until 1990. The song was written in 1987, and released in 1988.

[@ilovecatweazle]

None of the band members has commented on what its about. However, many journalist have tried to connect the tune with the taking heroin. Shrug your shoulders and just accept we simply don't know. You know what? I've always liked the mystery in lyrics of a song or in poetry. If we knew everything we would be Gods or would we simply be frustrated in the fact there are no longer surprises.

[@1878Originals]

Many of the band members have been asked, all have denied it.

[@Aaron-ze1io]

Lee himself said it was about a girl and said he had never tried heroin before

[@gijsbertuslaurensvandevooren]

Do wa diddy Manfred Mann is what you mean.

I heard a cover of this song, before this original one. It was by "Sixpence None The Richer" and was from around 2000.

[@alextint5987]

That is the first version I found in Spotify. Then, I found the original song from the La's.

[@Shagyamum]

This is 1988 cover is 1999

If you haven't seen the film "So I married an axe murderer with Mike Myers this song is featured in it. Great movie. Mike Myers mom was from Liverpool.

[@73azrael]

This is a good song and I like the cover by sixpence none the richer, but the only thing about it is that this song is really about drugs, not about a girl. Not necessarily a fan of that, but, I do like the flow of the song

[@KOBETRON100]

73azrael the band have never said it was about drugs. It’s been interpreted that way.

[@tomgarify]

Good spot with the song meaning. I think it was purposely left open but suspect it's about drugs.

[@POLO-sj6og]

HEROIN

[@manchesterkid8639]

[@billybigtime2808]

[@kevinmelody3135]

It's about heroin.

[@POLO-sj6og]

Great song. This song is about heroin.

[@bowches]

It's actually quite repetitive.
