Ed Sheeran wants to remake “Lady Marmalade” with all male cast
“Lady Marmalade” was one of those once-in-a-generation kind of songs.
Okay, sure, Patti Labelle made it big in 1974… .
But P!nk, Mya, Lil Kim, and Christina Aguilera made the song for a new generation in 2001.
And now, Ed Sheeran wants to try his hand at it.
“How fun would that be?” Ed Sheeran wanted to release an all-male equivalent of Lady Marmalade https://t.co/L2Isd3GDB5 pic.twitter.com/LvTAxoVC7R

According to Yahoo News, Ed’s got pretty big ambitions for the song.
He wants to remake it…
But with an all-male cast of singers.
Specifically, he wants to remake the song with Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber.
Yahoo News quotes Sheeran as explaining:
“I had an idea of doing that. Like you could get Bruno [Mars], [Justin] Bieber and me on a record. How fun would that be?”
Now, granted, he’s talking about the genesis of his new album…
No. 6 Collaborations Project, which is due in July.
But still.

Ed, c’mon.
Remaking an iconic all-female song with all-male singers…
Is just a recipe for disaster.
