All Saints - Lady Marmalade

Release date: 1998

The song has had many cover versions over the years. In 1998, girl group All Saints released a cover of the song that peaked at number one on the UK. The 2001 version by singers Christina Aguilera, Mýa, Pink, and rapper Lil' Kim, recorded for the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack was a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. "Lady Marmalade" was the ninth song to reach number one by two different musical acts in America.

The chorus of "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir" is French for "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" When Labelle performed this on television, broadcast standards of the day prohibited them from singing the chorus as written. It was changed to "Voulez-vous danser avec moi ce soir" (do you want to dance with me).
