Quirky things about certain pop songs

I'm probably the last person to finally hear this lovely song (Our House by Crosby, Stills & Nash) due to my watching House of Ninjas. Anyway, the beautiful chorus comes around and it goes:

"Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you
And our
La-la, la-la-la-la-la..."


So, what the heck is the 'la la la' supposed to symbolize?


EDIT: Oh, almost forgot to add that this song was about Nash's relationship at the time w Joni Mitchell when they went out and bought a vase for their California house. Pretty neat.


Drive is my fave song from The Cars and I noticed that Ben sang some lyrics incorrectly but for whatever reason they left it in: this was confirmed when Ric sang later on and at 2:44 it's correctly sung as:
"...who's gonna hold you down when you shake..."


instead of the recording's at 2:39 which sounds something like "...when you lose"?



What stuff have you noticed in some songs?

EDIT: if you could find the clip, that would be cool too.

DID what? Did Sir Elton mis-sing "if you're dead," or did the record company clip that word in post-production to make the lyric less morbid after the Apollo-13 near-tragedy?????

In the album version of Saturday Night Special, it closes out with RVZ singing, "... and that's the end of this sooooong, yeah."

"Here comes a Flock of Wah Wahs" at the end of Joe Walsh's Life's Been Good

Aerosmith's Combination (Rocks album) you can hear the squeaky studio door at the start of the song

Opening of Sweet Leaf is Tony Iommi coughing from too big of a toke

..many more

The `words` of a song are so overrated ... it`s the `beat` that counts

Words matter, it's how we communicate.

In The Beatles song Maxwell's Silver Hammer: while singing Paul lets out a little laugh and says it's because John was in the mixing room making faces at him through the window and Paul thought it was funny. The laugh was recorded in the song on the Abbey Road album.
