Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya, P!nk Lady Marmalade

This 2001 cover of “Lady Marmalade” was recorded for the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge!. The track featured the varied lyrical styles of Lil Kim, Christina Aguilera, Pink and Mya, and was produced by Missy Elliott.

The original “Lady Marmalade” was written in 1974 by duo Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan for their project The Eleventh Hour, and later the year it became an international hit, produced by influential New Orleans R&B figure Allen Toussaint for the girl band LaBelle.

In the cover, the first verse changes the location of “Lady Marmalade” from the original ‘New Orleans’ to ‘Moulin Rouge’. However, several creole and cajun references remain through out the song.

“Lady Marmalade” was a number one hit for five consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001.

Lemme hear y’all flow sista’s
Hey sista’, go sista’, soul sista’, flow sista’ (Uh)
Hey sista’, go sista’, soul sista’, go sista’

[Verse 1: Mýa]
He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge
Struttin’ her stuff on the street
She said, “Hello, hey Joe! You wanna give it a go?”
Oh! Uh-huh

[Chorus: Mýa & Lil’ Kim]
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (Hey, hey, hey)
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, here (Here)
Mocha Chocolata, ya-ya (Ooh, yeah)
Creole Lady Marmalade
What-what, what-what, what-what

[Verse 2: P!nk]
He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
(Hey sista’, go sista’, soul sista’, flow sista’)
Boy drank all that Magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets where he started to freak, yeah

[Chorus: P!nk & Lil’ Kim]

[Verse 3: Lil’ Kim]
Yeah, yeah, uh
We come through with the money and the garter belts
Let him know we ’bout that cake straight out the gate (Uh)
We independent women, some mistake us for whores
I’m sayin’, “Why spend mine when I can spend yours?”
Disagree? Well, that’s you, and I’m sorry
I’mma keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wear high heel shoes, get love from the dudes
Four badass chicks from the Moulin Rouge, uh
Hey sista’s, soul sista’s, betta get that dough, sista’s
We drink wine with diamonds in the glass
By the case, the meaning of expensive taste
If you wanna Gitchie, Gitchie, ya-ya (Come on)
Mocha Chocolata (What?)
Real Lady Marmalade
One more time, c’mon now

[Interlude: Mýa, Christina Aguilera & P!nk]
Marmalade (Ooh, oh)
Lady Marmalade (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
Marmalade (No, oh, yeah)

[Verse 4: Christina Aguilera]
Hey, hey, hey!
Touch of her skin, feeling silky smooth, oh
Color of café au lait, alright
Made the savage beast inside roar until he cried
More (More), more (More), more

[Verse 5: Mýa, (Christina Aguilera) & P!nk]
Now he’s back home doin’ 9 to 5 (9 to 5)
He’s livin’ the grey flannel life
(Oh baby turns off to sleep, memories creep)
More (more), more (more), more

[Chorus: Mýa, Christina Aguilera, P!nk & Lil’ Kim]
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (Da-da, yeah)
