"Ooh La La" is a song by English electronic music duo the Wiseguys from their second album, The Antidote (1998). First released as a single in 1998, it peaked at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart, but a re-release the following year proved highly successful after its inclusion in a Budweiser advertisement,[2] this time reaching number two on the UK chart.

The song has a BPM of 124.[3] It samples "Jim on the Move" by Lalo Schifrin from his 1967 album Music from Mission: Impossible.[4]
