No, this is not the song from Dirty Pictures … that goes Oo la la. Of course, you knew that! Oh là là could mean a variety of things but most common it is used to express surprise. Such as, Oh là là! C’est incroyable! (= Oh dear! It is amazing!) [Hear Oh là là, incroyable]
But did you know that Oh là là has a cousin in the form of Ah là là? This little variation expresses frustration; when you sort of give up and resign to what fate has in store for you, in a nice sort of way though. Like when you say, “Oh well!”
So be careful how you pucker up when you say Oh là là.
