Q: What was your main inspiration for "la de da de da de da de day oh?"
A: in 2012 i re-visited a short song i had written in 2009 called 'in the snow' (and the first verse was mostly the first verse of la de da, as you know it) and i decided to re-write the entire thing after the first prechorus, and come up with an entirely new chorus. the pre-chorus was as you know it, about wanting to write a song. so i made a new chorus, with a much more obvious and direct approach, considering the previous line was about wanting to write a song
