Lady Marmalade

"Lady Marmalade" is a 1975 #1 hit single recorded by LaBelle for the Epic Records label. An early disco hit, the song is most famous for its sexually suggestive chorus of "voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?". The song held the #1 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for one week, from March 23 to March 29, 1975, replacing "My Eyes Adored You" by Frankie Valli and replaced by "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton.

The song was also covered in 2001 (see Lady Marmalade (2001 song)) by pop singers Christina Aguilera and Pink, rapper Lil' Kim, and R&B singer Mya as a single for the Moulin Rouge! film soundtrack. It was produced by Missy Elliott and Rockwilder. Their version, a bigger hit than LaBelle's original, introduced the song to a whole new generation of music listeners and brought the song's infamous chorus catchphrase back into mainstream culture.
