"Orelay" is most commonly misspelled "odelay" by people who do not know any Spanish but want to be cool anyway. This is also a closer to a phonetic spelling of the pronunciation of the word. Originated from Mexico, it basically means "Alright", "Okay" or "Oh Yeah" in such a way like you just had an orgasm with no drama or got one million dollars that magically appeared on your doorstop with no strings attached, or a brand new sony television just bought you a beer and now wants to take you home and be all yours. :)

While recording Beck's 1996 album of the same name, the then-unnamed track 'Lord Only Knows' was written down by the engineer as 'O-Del-Ay' based on his phoenetic understanding of the outro vocal. Beck is ACTUALLY singing "Órale", which is a common Hispanic term meaning:

1. affirmation that something is impressive, exclamatory
2. an agreement with a statement (similar to 'word')
3. alarm, surprise or danger
4. a simple greeting
5. "hurry up"

Beck liked the misspelling, naming the album after it. As such, the word carries a similar exclamatory function to it's Spanish pronunciation.
