Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da

A simplified way of saying, "Life goes on". The phrase first came to be in the popular beatles song by the same name, and since then, has became an extremely common phrase in pop and youth culture.
One of the more common scenarios for using "Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da"

Exemplified Man #1: "Hey man, what's cracka-lackin?"
Exemplified Man #2: "My boss denied me the f@#$%ng promotion I've been wanting due to my 'repulsive hygiene'..."
Exemplified Man #1: "Well, you could always try using--"
Exemplified Man #2: "Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da!"
Exemplified Man #1: "Uhmm... What?"
Exemplified Man #2: "Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da... You know! (sings) Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da, life goes on, Bra---"
Exemplified Man #1: "Oh, Now I see! You are using 'Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da' as slang for 'life goes on'- which, everyone knows are the following lyrics in the popular, yet obnoxious Beatles tune! Such an obviously interpretable phrase should be used more often! I too, am going to begin using this phrase commonly in my speech!"

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

1. The Beatles experimented with many musical styles during a time when rock'n'roll was starting to expand beyond the original forms known as rockabilly, soul and other genres. Hard rock,heavy metal, ska, psychedelic rock and proto-punk were emerging. This party tune has been described by Stewart Copeland of the Police as a brilliant example of early "white reggae". It has lyrics that are kinda kooky and there's a lot of gonzo background singsong nonsence, too. A playful ditty that critics shouldn't take too seriously. It's just plain fun. This tune's title has various other spellings such as "obladi oblada". It has a simple cheerful free-for-all air to it that today's corporate disposable entertainment business doesn't allow.

2. a simple catchall term that means the same as "life goes on", "oh well", "la-di-da", "oh yeah", "whatever" and so on - expressed in a casual, unannoyed, devil may care, dismissive and blow it off manner and attitude. Nothing to get hung up about, but it's not the same as saying "shit happens". .
1. During the summertime when I was 14, me, my mom and my sister were sitting on plastic buckets and peeling apples. The radio was playing Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da by the Fab Four.

2. Anton: Hey look at this! Bradgelena are adopting yet ANOTHER Third World orphan. Also, Madonna has found a brand new lover!

Jeff: Yeah yeah yeah. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on. Yeah!
