The original version by the Patti LaBelle-led Labelles was released in 1974 and was well-received, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart. All Saints took it on in 1998, and Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil’ Kim, and Mya gathered to collaborate for the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack in 2001.

Check out more of the unanimous reactions to shoot this “Lady Marmalade” remake idea down in the gallery below.
Tweeters responded to Rita’s suggestion with their own picks for the “Lady Marmalade” lineup, throwing out names like Demi Lovato, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj Tinashe, Ariana Grande, Rihanna and, of course, Lady Gaga. Are we ready for a new rendition and do you agree with Rita’s picks?
