la la la

Syllables replacing words

La la la represents sung or hummed sounds, typically expressing carefree contentment or deliberate tuning-out.

Someone might sing la la la while strolling happily, or chant it while covering their ears to avoid hearing something unpleasant: La la la, I can't hear you!

The phrase suggests either blissful unawareness or willful ignorance.
