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 throughout the song.

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