“..I know it’s kind of awkward, but it’s a sing-along, it’s a song called ‘oom shalala’ and recently: even though it’s a word made up, we learned in arabic ‘oom’ means ‘mother’ and ‘shala’ means ‘waterfall’. So..we wish you lots of mothers and waterfalls during this song and thanks for singing along...
The milk is sour
I've barely been to college
And I've been doubtful
Of all that I have dreamed of
The brink of my existence essentially is a comedy
The gap in my teeth and all that I can cling to
The milk is sour
Sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
Oom sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
The milk is sour
With olives on my thumbs
And all that I have stuck to and all that I have clung to
I've felt like a dog
This world that I have trusted
Is bent over and busted and rusted by an arbitrary sonogram
Sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
Oom sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
Oom sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
Oom sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
The milk is sour
With olives on my thumbs
And I've been doubtful
Of all that I have dreamed of
The brink of my existence essentially is a comedy
The gap in my teeth and all that I can cling to
The milk is sour
Sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
Oom sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
Oom sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
Oom sha la la
Oom oom sha la la
If you don't go outside
Well nothing's gonna happen
She'll never write her number on a crumpled up napkin
She'll never be your ego
She'll never be a bandit
She'll never get to eat you like your heart's a pomegranate
I'm throwing out the milk
The olives got old
I'm tired of my mind getting heavy with mold
I need to start a garden
I need to start a garden
I need to start a garden
I need to start a garden!
Gonna start a garden in my backyard
I'm gonna start a garden in my backyard
'Cause making this song up is just as hard
'Cause making this song up is just as hard
Oom sha la la

Oom Sha La La was written by Haley Heynderickx.
Oom Sha La La was produced by Haley Heynderickx & Zak Kimball.
Haley Heynderickx released Oom Sha La La on Wed Sep 20 2017.
The song was written during a songwriting challenge some friends were hosting. It was an embarrassing stream of consciousness experiment that went much further than ever expected. I think it’s important to allow ourselves to be embarrassed sometimes, it helps us grow in one way or another.
