"Lady Marmalade" is such a big deal to me.

One of those improbable events where, for four minutes, an impossible series of magical coincidences and great instincts blend. You feel like everyone in the room would have known what had happened as soon as the take was done. The entire drum track is just the most astounding sequence of beautiful pulses, syncopation, and impulses (but, really, everyone - the harpsichord, the bass, the brass, the guitar, etc.). The sound of the thing, obviously the arrangement. And of course, the vocals.

Both wonderful examples of playful, melodic, inventive '70s funk, beyond the deep JB-styled brand. I love both very much.

Oh yes; yet, you'll find a lot of people simply do NOT like this track for some reason. A Toussaint joint if memory serves, it's got everything you want from a '70s soul-disco banger. But like the Bee Gees singles perhaps, a few people are put off by its popularity or ubiquity or some thing they can't or won't name. The disco wars are still being fought in some minds, lest we forget.

Both are great, but yeah...Lady Marmalade is something more than perfect, and something more than inevitable. I don’t even have words.

Naturally, the urban legend regarding "Love Rollercoaster" is burned thoroughly into my own memory.

Such an artifact of the time.

Both great, but for some reason I have more of a bond with the ambience of "Lady Marmalade".

Yeah, but now you're caught up in the Bieber Wars.

Oh, the humanity. :cry:

Lady Marmalade's not bad, but I mostly appreciate the effort they've gone to to co-ordinate their outfits for the day.

Love Rollercoaster is horrible.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

He was big in the '90s, you should have picked one of his tracks for the Cup. ;)

Lance Matthews v Lord Rother?

Sophie’s choice.
