"Fu-Gee-La" is a song by the American hip-hop trio, Fugees. It was released on December 13, 1995, as the lead single from their second and final album, The Score. "Fu-Gee-La", which was produced by Salaam Remi, contains a sample of "If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right" by Ramsey Lewis, and its chorus contains a sample of "Ooo La La La" by Teena Marie. Immediately following this is an interpolation of "Shakiyla (JRH)" by the Poor Righteous Teachers. Several remixes of the song, including the "Refugee Camp Remix" and the "Sly & Robbie Remix", which features a young Akon, also appear on The Score. "Fu-Gee-La" is the highest-selling single from the Fugees, and has been certified gold by the RIAA.

Producer Salaam Remi discussed the song's conception: "We actually were working on a song for Spike Lee’s Clockers movie that actually, that song never came out. So we had a song that we did for Clockers, and then during that session, Wyclef was like, 'Yo, play that beat you did for Fat Joe!' And Lauryn was like, 'Yo, play the Fat Joe beat' and then when I played it, Clef jumped up and spit the first verse to 'Fu-Gee-La.' He had the verse, but it just fell all together and then we worked on it. That song was actually done prior to The Score, so a lot of The Score’s vibe was based around what that song was."
