Oooh.

Template:Short description Template:Template other "Oooh." is the first single from De La Soul's fifth album, Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump, released in 2000.

Music Video

The music video for this song is a hip-hop take on “The Wizard of Oz”. After being denied entry into a nightclub called Brick City, a woman and her pet chihuahua try to sneak in, only to trip and fall unconscious. When the woman wakes up, she finds herself in the Land of Oooh, where the three members of De La Soul (as The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion) take the woman on a quest to get into Brick City, all while thwarting a Wicked Witch who goes after the woman wearing her silver platform heels (a reference to the book version, where Dorothy's slippers were silver and not the famous ruby-red ones from the 1939 film).

The video features Dave Chappelle as the Brick City doorman, Rah Digga as the Dorothy-esque protagonist, and Stacey MacKenzie as the Wicked Witch. Some versions of the music video feature a short scene where the Dorothy-esque protagonist argues with a taxi driver (played by Posdnuos) over cab fare and a tip, but that version has become rarely shown. Most versions seen online start when the woman asks the doorman (Dave Chappelle) if she's on the guest list and the doorman making fun of her clothes and the chihuahua in her purse.
