I’m crushed that I can’t embed this video. But just follow this link to the closing musical number in the 1940 movie Young People. Sing a little tra la la with Shirley Temple, Jack Oakie, and Charlotte Greenwood as the Ballantine family.  The audience sing along chorus harmonies at 5:23 are one of those gloriously 1940 era movie moments.

When things go wrong, it’s just the song to chase your cares away. a-Way. Ay-way.
Tra la la la what a merry world we live in.

Enjoy a little Trah Lah Lah wine with this one.

In direct competition with Édouard Khil Mr Trololo.

Here’s a song from Die Fieldermaus perfomed by the Royal Opera

Sometimes referred to as the Champagne Song, this piece is about that king of drinks that made people sing Tra la la and think they could fly like bats by jumping off buildings. It’s a really weird opera. Anyway, you can pop a bottle of bubbly or a trah lah lah and sing along.

The Great Deltas Tra La La La La

Come on now. Tra la la now. Open a bottle of Trah Lah Lah and enjoy the funk.

I know the Trah lah lah can lead to many shenanigans, but try not to get caught in any love triangles this year.

Today’s Tra la la song is sung by Julie Andrews. The Lusty Month of May from Lerner & Loewe’s Camelot.

Admittedly, I’m much more familiar with Vanessa Redgraves’ Lusty Month of May in the film adaptation. I love how Camelot is an idylic place full of sexy 60s-styled maidens. Unfortunately, they cut the tra la la’s. So Julie Andrews version it is. In case you want to throw back though, here’s the clip from the movie:
