Remaking Labelle’s 1975 soul classic “Lady Marmalade” is not an entirely absurd idea.
After all, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, and Mya covered the song back in 2001 and that “Moulin Rogue!” soundtrack quickly became a legendary hit.
And because of that, no one can imagine another cover more iconic than the 2001’s version of “Lady Marmalade”.
An admirer of the 2001 cover rendition of the iconic song, English singer Rita Ora told The Sun in an interview that she wants to recreate the song with Iggy Azalea, Miley Cyrus, and Charli XCX.
She said:
I’m trying to round up the troops. I think it would be me, Miley, Charli XCX — she’d be fun — and Iggy.
Unfortunately, not everyone is fond of the idea, not even Iggy.
The Australian rapper voiced her opinion on her Twitter and said that she doesn’t want to have anything to do with the “Lady Marmalade” remake.

Miley has not addressed the potential musical collaboration, but Charli tweeted that she’d be on board before deleting that tweet.
Tonnes of people have also offered up their own picks for the “Lady Marmalade” dream team on Twitter:
