歌词或简介：1998年6月摇滚铁公鸡Rod Stewart（洛．史都华）发表新专辑《When We Were the New Boys》。在这张专辑里，他结合了英国流行与自己早期在小酒馆演唱的老摇滚根基，或许他不再像过去那样充满活力，偶而甚至还会出点差错，但整体而言，却是相当可喜的，相当成功的。除了一些英国年轻歌曲作家的作品，他还挑选了某些自己多年以来始终非常喜爱的名曲，然后用自己的风格予以重新诠释。当时已经开始窜红的“The Corrs”（可儿家族）三姊妹，也分别使用自己最拿手的乐器，参与了这张专辑的演奏部分。如果要说这张专辑哪首是最突出的，那么无疑要属他重新演唱的Faces（脸谱合唱团）的经典老歌“Ooh La La”（1973年）了。Rod Stewart以这首歌向1996年逝世原作曲者Ronnie Lane（脸谱合唱团的中心团员贝斯手）致敬，轻松的旋律、风笛的穿梭令人过耳难忘。再度听见它，让歌迷们不禁回忆起他的年轻岁月。
这是一首风趣嬉闹的乡村摇滚歌曲，表现生活中的爷孙俩相互不服气，孙子说爷爷老得泡妞泡不动了，被人蒙了也不知道；爷爷说这方面我可是过来人，你小孩子要学的还多着那。Ooh la la是个语气词组，是两人斗嘴时相互表示不屑的意思。而反复呤唱的中心句其实是爷爷的一句话：I wish that I knew what I know now (我年青时要知道现在这些道理就好啦），这句表面上说自已年轻时不懂老了才知道的一些道理，实质上是拿话套孙子--你现在还嫩你懂个屁啊。
歌曲欢快跳跃，带有明显的民谣风味，特别是开头那种吉他连续切分音造成土风舞般的跳跃，以及浓郁的小提琴音色，很容易把人带入美国南方农场谐和而欢闹的现场：劈柴的男人、挤牛奶的农妇、没大没小的孩子，和依然谈论女人的老家伙。
Rod Stewart是个老牌摇滚，唱这首歌时正处于The Face乐队的最后时期。按说Rod Stewart是英国人，本身属于硬派摇滚。The Face也是一支英国乐队，美国乡村或民谣并不是他们的原本风格，但Rod Stewart在七十年代一直作将美国Country和Folk Music溶入摇滚的尝试，最终形成他自已独特的Country-Rock和Folk-Rock风格。有趣的是在这首歌中，Rod Stewart展现出来的是浓重的美国南方口音。
Ooh La La作为一张专辑，在美国当时的评价不好，但未妨碍Ooh La La成为一首经典的好歌曲。Rod Stewart那种当时被称为“性感无比”的沙哑嗓音是其商业化的标志之一。对于Ooh La La这样一首民谣歌曲，他的嗓音表现相得宜彰。

(Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, 1973)
[vocals by Ronnie Lane]
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you, then they use you before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.
The can-can such a pretty show
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
you're just twinkling with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way, ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.
