 " Ooh La La " was Goldfrapp 's first song to feature the electric guitar , an instrument that they had avoided due to its overly recognisable rhythm . When they recorded the song , Gregory played the keyboard bass as Goldfrapp sang . Her microphone picked up the " clattering " of Gregory 's pressing the keys , which they added to the chorus . The song is written in the common verse @-@ chorus form and features additional instrumentation from synthesizers and a bass guitar .
