'What did you do about all the La La La La Las?'
You could well be quoting the last verse of Me and Bobbie McGee as penned by that Rhodes Scholar, Kris Kristofferson. Like him or not, his image is not exactly feminine or other worldly.

Confession time: often on this forum, someone mentions a song, artist, or album with which I am unfamiliar. I often follow the link, or search for a clip myself. I find I tend to do this about equally whether the poster rhapsodized or lambasted; if someone has strong feelings about it, I often feel it worth one listen even if it is not to my taste.

Also, I often enjoy hearing a song presented in a fashion totally different from its origin, a ballad with rocking contemporary arrangement, a music hall romp presented as torchy blues. (I think there was a thread on this a while back.)
