lady marmalade











This Creole mocha chocolata rose to the top three times in three ways.  Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan wrote it after seeing the red-light section of New Orleans. The song's chorus, "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)?" appeared previously in the play 'A Streetcar Named Desire', coming from the promiscuous Blanche DuBois. It has been covered many times and three different versions have reached the top of the charts.

First released in 1974, the song was first made famous by the girl group Labelle. Their producer Allen Toussaint decided to record it as the main track for the album 'Nightbirds' with instrumental backing from The Meters. It was on the top of the US and Canadian charts the same week in 1975. In the US it replaced Frankie Valli's 'My Eyes Adored You', which was also written by Crewe and Nolan, making them the third songwriting team in Billboard history (after Lennon-McCartney and Holland-Dozier-Holland) to replace themselves at number-one.



Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister

He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello, hey Joe
You wanna give it a go?"

Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

He stayed in her boudoir
While she freshened up
That boy drank all that Magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets
Where he started to freak

Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

Hey, hey, hey
Seeing her skin, feeling silky smooth
Color of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roaring until it cried, "More, more, more!"

Now he's at home doing 9 to 5
Living his brave life of lies
But when he turns off to sleep
All memories keep more, more, more

Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya


Gitchi gitchi ya ya here








In 1998 the English female pop group All Saints covered Marmalade as part of the double A-sided single 'Under the Bridge'/'Lady Marmalade'. The third single from their self-titled debut album, it contained their 'Lady Marmalade' cover and a cover of 'Under the Bridge' by Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was the first time the song hit the top of the British charts.

Three years later, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa, and Pink took their version (produced by Rockwilder & Missy Elliott) to number one in eleven different countries around the world: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US. The song won numerous awards, including a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. It was originally featured as part of a medley in the film 'Moulin Rouge!' and this full length version was recorded for the film's soundtrack album. The lyrics were changed from the original, moving the location from New Orleans to the Moulin Rouge in Paris, France. The music video, directed by Paul Hunter, also won numerous awards.
