I can't believe how many people seem to have no idea how to spell this word. It's not wah-la, or walla, or any variation thereof. There's a v in it, and a whole bunch of vowels. Like viola (or maybe viola) but different.
Yeah, I know. I'm not even a language/grammar/spelling geek yet something inside me cringes when people do that crap. My 15 year old was taught to say wah-lah by his well-meaning teacher(among other cringe-worthy malapropisms) and needless to say, he drives me nuts.
