Naughty Boy - La la la ft. Sam Smith (Official Video) 

For a better understanding, the mv is based on a bolivian legend. The real meaning behind the story is based solely around a 19th century legend which involves a young deaf boy who has fled from his home because he is being abused and as he left, he found a stray dog that kept him company since then. After living on the streets for a large amount of time he finds out that he has the ability to find out people’s troubles, he can then heal them by screaming (This is when he has his fingers in his ears, and doing the "La la la" part). This screaming was rumoured to be as loud as an earthquake or even a tornado. The boy finds a man (The gray faced guy), who is being stoned by other villagers whilst being shouted at. The boy uses his ability to find out what is wrong with him and repairs the old man’s heart (this is the part in the video where he buys the man a heart). The boy and the old man then meet a disfigured man (Traffic guard guy aka sock monkey) who was abused and seen as a dodger of society. Using his powers the boy finds out that the man is a prophet who was cursed by El Tio because he simply didn’t worship him and left the area that the demon lived. El Tio was considered as a lord of the underworld, mortals offered him gifts for his protection and to lessen his anger. The prophet told the boy that anyone who could hear El Tio would immediately fall under his full control. He also tells him that El Tio could be found in the desert, where there used to be a small town that worshipped El Tio but he cursed them to kill themselves. As a group they all cross the desert and enter the mine in which holds the demon, however they didn’t want to be cursed so only the little boy entered and as he was deaf, he was unable to be controlled by El Tio and he used this special ability to over voice him and stop him from cursing others. Basically, the boy was a sacrifice To answer a couple questions: One day, this song came up in my recommended. And I wanted to know the meaning, so I googled it and decided to share it here bc it's an interesting story. The story is a legend, which means it all might not make sense. The boy makes a sacrifice bc he gives up his whole life, for eternity to keep a demon occupied. Some fun facts: Uyuni salt flats (El Salar de Uyuni) is shown in the video. They filmed there, as well as La Paz, and Cerro Rico. It's told like a story, and it's part of Bolivian culture: "El Tío is believed in Cerro Rico, Potosí, Bolivia to be the "Lord of the Underworld". There are many statues of this devil-like spirit in the mines of Cerro Rico. El Tío is believed to rule over the mines, simultaneously offering protection and destruction."

for those who don't know what's all about. The video is based on an old legend. In the legend, a little deaf boy had the power to know other people's troubles, and could heal them with his voice. He left his abusive home and found a stray dog to keep him company. As he was living on the streets, he found an old man being shouted at and stoned by others in the village. The boy used his voice to heal the man's heart, and they continue traveling using his power together. Then they find a man who is disfigured and shunned by society. The boy uses his voice again and find that the man is really a prophet who was cursed by El diablo, the statue you see at the end of the video. Anyone who can hear El Diablo immediately falls under his control. They hear he can be found beyond the desert, so the group travels to see him. They find the cave where El Diablo lives, but the two men and the dog can't enter. If they do, they'll fall under El diablo control. So the boy goes alone. Because he is deaf, he can't hear El diablo. He stayed in that cave, and used his voice to drown out El diablo, so nobody would enter the cave,and be hurt by him again

Anyone in 2024 may ???

I miss the times when this song came out. Simple life.

Who’s here because this song randomly just crossed your mind

You don’t realise how much your life has changed until you look back on it.

Anyone in 2024 june??

anyone in june 2024?

This song its about a legend from Bolivia (a latin american country) the kid is deaf and his father is bad,so the kid run away. He finds the dog, and help a old man (en the legend,a bullies were hitting him) then, both of them find a guy who was in a satanic group but he desert and "el tío" (satan,in Bolivian culture) disfigurement his face,thats why hi is cover it. They go to the cave of "el tio" and the legend said that "el tio" sing all the feelings of hate and that kind of thing,and the people get corrupted and kill each other. Its then when the old man,the dog and the guy with a mask say goodbye to the kid, so as not to get corrupted they leave. And the kid stay, because he is deaf so he cant get corrupted,and he begans to sing to "el tio" to keep him calm for the whole eternity I am from Bolivia, in the city were this was filmed, i like this video and i wanted to share the legend with you, sorry if I have a bad english,in the best i can do :)

"Im covering my ears like a kid, when your words mean nothing I go la, la, la" is now more understandable and relatable than it was when we were younger.

The story is about an old Bolivian folk legend called El Tio, about a deaf child who escaped his abusive home and found a stray dog to keep him company. He had the power to heal people with his voice, and he found a man that was being stoned by the villagers. He sung to the man, and healed his heart. Afterwards, he found a man that was "different" and shunned by society. He sung to this person as well, and healed his spirit and mind. They went to a mine near the village, where a demon resided. The demon could control anyone who heard his voice and had put the village under his influence. While the dog and 2 men could not enter the cave, the boy was deaf and could not hear the demon. So he stayed behind and used his voice to be louder than the demon and overcame him, keeping the village safe. He had to stay there forever to sing to the demon and keep him away

i really miss when music was as full, creative, unique and genuinely meaningful as this.

Video Explanation : The music video is about a Bolivian 🇧🇴 legend that tells the story of a deaf boy who fled from his abusive home and found a stray dog 🐕 that accompanied him since then. After living on the streets. He discovers that he has the special ability of perceiving troubled people - which he can heal by screaming (screaming that its said to be as loud as an earthquake and a tornado🌪) One day, he finds an old man who was being stoned by villagers while being taunted and ridiculed (hence why the old man has a dusty face) the boy intervened and by screaming, he resolved the situation and revived the old man’s heart (in the video, by buying him a new heart). Old man and kid later meet a disfigured man who was abused, and was considered a leper by society (Called Kusillo in Bolivia). The disfigured man reveals that he is a prophet who was cursed by the devil 👹 (El Tio) because he didn’t worship him anymore and abandoned the town where the demon resided. 👹 El Tio is considered the lord of the underworld, to whom mortal people offer gifts in exchange for protection, or to ease his anger. The prophet (masked man) said anybody who could hear the demon would fall under his control🌀. He told them that the demon could be found across a desert (Uyuni salt flats), where there was a town where people worshipped el tio 👹 - and the story said that el tio cursed the people in that town to kill themselves. Together they start the journey to find the town, and arrive at a mine where the demon 👹 resided but they knew that everybody with their hearing intact could be cursed by el Tio👹 or be directed to kill each other. That is why boy had to face the demon alone and over voice him with his scream to stop him from cursing others.(the ultimate sacrifice - and why the two man and the dog left- to avoid getting under el tio 👹 control 🌀) The video has an open ending, considering that El Tio is the lord of the underworld who rules in the mines, and miners usually sacrifice a llama as a tribute from time to time to avoid being cursed. Sadly the boy could be seen as a big sacrifice to redeem the miners from El Tio’s undesirable influence. I’m Bolivian and love this story 🇧🇴 Insta: @davidestebangg

English translation of the video explanation: The music video is about a Bolivian legend that tells the story of a deaf boy who fled his abusive home and found a stray dog ​​that has accompanied him ever since. After living on the street, he discovers that he has the special ability to perceive people in trouble, who he can help by screaming (la la la) however the screaming is said to be as strong as an earthquake or tornado. One day, he finds an old man who was being stoned by the villagers while they mocked and ridiculed him (hence why the old man has a dusty face) The boy intervened by yelling, solved the situation and revived the old man's heart (in the video , buying him a new heart). The old man and the boy later meet a disfigured man who was abused and considered by society to be a leper (called Kusillo in Bolivia). The disfigured man reveals that he is a prophet who was cursed by the devil (El Tio) because he no longer worshiped him and left the town where the devil resided. The Devil is considered the lord of the underworld, to whom mortals offer gifts such as often sacrificing a llama as a tribute from time to time to avoid being cursed. The devil would offer protection in return but it would often be from himself. The prophet (masked man) said that anyone who could hear the devil would fall under his control. He told them that the demon could be found on the other side of a vast desert (Salar de Uyuni), where there was a town whose people refused to worship the Devil, and due to this the demon cursed the people of that town with madness, ordering them to kill themselves . Together they continued on their journey to find the city and they arrived at a mine where the demon resided. They knew that anyone with their hearing intact could be cursed by the Devil but the boy is deaf hence negating any power over him. That is why the boy had to face the demon alone and defeat it with his cry to prevent him from cursing his fellow humans ,the ultimate sacrifice(hence why the two men and the dog left, to avoid being under the control of the devil). The video has an open ending, unsure whether the boy survived or not but considering that El Tío is the lord of the underworld who rules the people of that town in Bolivia... . The child could be seen as a great sacrifice to redeem the people from the undesirable influence of El Tío.

Me: la la la la la la la la la la la laaa Google: ????

Sam Smith's voice paired with Naughty Boy's production = pure magic!

Yo, listen up! My dude got skills for real, but even he gotta use a u t h e n t I c v i e w s to get that quick shine. If you tryna get your name out there and blow up fast, you gotta roll with a u t h e n t I c v i e w s. That's the move, no cap.

The melody of ‘La La La’ is infectious and upbeat. It's the kind of song that gets stuck in your head for days, bringing a smile to your face every time you hear it.

(English) For those who don't know what's all about. The video is based on an old legend. In the legend, a little deaf boy had the power to know other people's troubles, and could heal them with his voice. He left his abusive home and found a stray dog to keep him company.

Then they find a man who is disfigured and shunned by society. The boy uses his voice again and find that the man is really a prophet who was cursed by El diablo, the statue you see at the end of the video. Anyone who can hear El Diablo immediately falls under his control. They hear he can be found beyond the desert, so the group travels to see him. They find the cave where El Diablo lives, but the two men and the dog can't enter. If they do, they'll fall under El diablo control. So the boy goes alone. Because he is deaf, he can't hear El diablo. He stayed in that cave, and used his voice to drown out El diablo, so nobody would be hurt by him again. ("!Brenda Centeno!") :)

Nobody: Me at 13 years old: NA NA NA Naughty Boy: LA LA LA 2020: ah hell

This song was my childhood

The video is based off of the Bolivian Legend, El Tio. I think. It's about a deaf boy who escapes his abusive home and sets off on an adventure. Along the way he meets a stray dog, a man being stoned by the villagers, and a man who is "different" and is rejected by society. The eventually find the cave of the El Diablo (the devil) in the desert. Only the boy can enter because he cannot hear El Diablo's influence. If the others try to enter they will be influenced. The boy stays in the cave to drown out the voice of the devil with his own, so no one will be influenced by El Diablo. Hopefully this helped.

Pls tell me I'm not the only one who noticed that this has 1 billion views

One of the best songs ever made

2024, and this still vibing ❤❤🔥
