<\/p>\nChristina Aguilera | Lady Marmalade | 2001<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Lady Marmalade<\/b>” is a song written by\u00a0Bob Crewe\u00a0and\u00a0Kenny Nolan\u00a0that is famous for the\u00a0French\u00a0refrain of “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir<\/i>?”, which is a sexual proposition that translates into English as: “Do you want to sleep with me, tonight<\/i>?” The song first became a popular hit when it was recorded in 1974 by the American\u00a0funk rock\u00a0group\u00a0Labelle\u00a0and held the number-one spot on the\u00a0Billboard<\/i>\u00a0Hot 100\u00a0chart for one week, and also topped the Canadian\u00a0RPM<\/i>\u00a0national singles chart. In 2021, the\u00a0Library of Congress\u00a0selected Labelle’s version for preservation in the\u00a0National Recording Registry\u00a0for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.<\/p>\n
The song has had many cover versions over the years. In 1998, girl group\u00a0All Saints\u00a0released a cover version that peaked at number one on the\u00a0UK Singles Chart. The 2001 version by singers\u00a0Christina Aguilera,\u00a0M\u00fda,\u00a0Pink\u00a0and rapper\u00a0Lil’ Kim, recorded for the\u00a0Moulin Rouge!<\/i>\u00a0soundtrack, was a number-one hit on the\u00a0Billboard<\/i> Hot 100 for five weeks, and also a number-one hit in the UK. “Lady Marmalade” was the ninth song to reach number one by two different musical acts in America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
