"La-La Means I Love You" by The Delfonics is the only one I can think of, at the moment. (Although whether that says a lot about the moment, or very little about my memory ... well, it depends.)

What about "The Shoop Song" by Salt-n-Pepa? (I think that's what it's called.)

Edit: correction, it's just called "Shoop." There is, however, "The Shoop Shoop Song," written by Rudy "Got My Mind Set On You" Clark and recorded by Merry Clayton, Betty Everett and Cher.

Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss - Bloodhound Gang (2005). 4.5 of 5 stars in my MediaMonkey collection. Neanderthal knuckleheads, but I'm a sucker for their rhythms. (You know them from 2000's The Bad Touch - "You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.")

My nominee for the ne plus ultra of songs with vocables in the title is Piero Umiliani's "Mah Nà Mah Nà."
