"Sha-La-La-La-La" is a song recorded by Danish glam rock band Walkers. The song was co-written by band members Torben Lendager and Poul Dehnhardt.

It was initially released in Denmark on March 30, 1973 and later in Germany in May. It was later included on their Greatest Hits (1976) album.

The single entered the Danish charts at number eight in the last week of March 1973. The following week it climbed to number three. It reached number two after three weeks, after which it disappeared from the charts.

The song was covered by Dutch Eurodance group Vengaboys in 2000. It remixes the song with typical Vengaboys synth and drum beats, although it keeps substantially the same tempo. It was released on February 23, 2000.

The music video is modeled after the single cover. It takes place in a fictional Alpine bar named "Wurst & Women". The video primarily focuses on lead vocalist Kim Sasabone performing the song. It features female dancers dressed in a skimped-up version of a dirndl and wearing blonde wigs in a double bun braid. Some men are dressed in lederhosen. After the second verse, the song pauses with a record scratch wherein the two male group members engage in a parody dance battle. The music video was banned by BBC.
