Ah this takes me back to the days when MTV was playing good music! The video of this had a slot of rotation then.

Never heard about Dean Ray. I’m with Jeff. I like this song. Especially the dance version is awesome. Another great discovery. Thank you so much Paul for introducing me to Dean Ray.

I have Dean Ray’s LP “The Earth Stood Still” and listen to it regularly. I never heard the Dance Version though of “La La”. Can’t wait to hear this.

Cheers Paul 🙂

Listening to it now Paul and I just have to say (again!) that you have incredible taste!! This song is brilliant, catchy and makes one want to get up, play it loud and dance with abandon!! Absolutely AWESOME!!! I’m so tickled that we have you to introduce/re-introduce another obscure New Wave classic!! This is the very definition of New Wave and I’m swooning!!
