Lady Marmalade
Gitchi gitchi ya-ya
Lady Marmalade is a 1974 funk and disco song performed by Labelle, known for its sexually suggestive lyrics and French refrain.
The song depicts a New Orleans prostitute and became a cultural touchstone, later covered by Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa, and Pink for the 2001 film *Moulin Rouge!* The title character's name evokes sweetness with an edge.
