Rod Stewart never liked that song and refused to sing on it.

Typo alert! I checked, because pronunciation, and it IS Ooh La La, two Os!

I think Rod Stewart was not singing on Ooh La La. I think it’s Ron Wood.

The demigod Wiki confirms: "The lead vocals were provided by Wood, a rarity in the band's catalogue; lead vocals were usually performed by Rod Stewart and less often by Ronnie Lane. Stewart and Lane each recorded lead vocals for the song, but reportedly neither was satisfied by their attempt. Their producer Glyn Johns then suggested that Wood give it a try, and this version was used for the track on the album. Rod Stewart recorded a version of the song a quarter of a century later for his album When We Were the New Boys."
