Pixie Lott - Mama Do - Bimbo Jones Remix (2009)

Written & produced by Mads Hauge and Phil Thornalley, who've also have worked with the likes of Natasha Bedingfield and Natalie Imbruglia, this track hit the airwaves in June 2009. The song is about a girl sneaking out the house and going to see a boy without her parents knowing about it. Victoria Louise (a.k.a. Pixie) Lott, born 1991 in Bromley, SE London, released her debut single which was heavily supported by BBC Radio 1, who had it on heavy rotation. Mama Do really passed me by in it's original version. But one day I heard the remix by Lee Dagger and Marc JB, a.k.a. Bimbo Jones, a remix duo who have also brought us Meck & Leo Sayer's makeover of 'Thunder in my Heart Again'. That one did catch my attention indeed - see the difference:

UK#1, Euro Hot100 #5, DK#8, HUN#9, FR#10, SVK#12, IRL#13, CZK#18, NZ#19, NL#20, BE#22, ES#23, SWE#27, CH#34, DE#37, AT#47, AUS#55, ROM#64

Lyrics:

Uh Oh, Uh Oh

Every night I go, Every night I go sneakin' out the door
I lie a little more
Baby I'ma helpless
There's something 'bout the night
And the way it hides all the things I like
Little black butterflies
Deep inside me

What would my Mama Do
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
If she knew 'bout me and you
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
What would my daddy say
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
If he saw me hurt this way
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)

Why should I feel ashamed?
Feeling guilty at the mention of your name
Here we are again
It's nearly perfect

What would my Mama Do
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
If she knew 'bout me and you
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)

What would my daddy say
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
If he saw me hurt this way
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)

Ooooooh
What would my Mama Do?
Ooooooh
What would my daddy say?

All the things a girl should know
All the things she can't control
All the things a girl should know
She can't control

What would my Mama Do
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
If she knew 'bout me and you
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
What would my daddy say
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
If he saw me hurt this way
(Uh Oh, Uh Oh)
