We vaguely remember …
… covering this song on a radio station many, many years ago but hadn’t played it since. That’s until we decided to revisit it for a Duo Session! We love this song and Melanie’s music in general. “Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma” is one of those quirky gems from the past.
We’ve done “Michelle” by the Beatles (on our very first live album) and now “Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma”, so we think you’ve heard us butcher the French language enough now, and we’ll probably leave it at that. Unless you can think of other songs with French lyrics that we really need to cover? We do apologise to all the Frenchmen, lol.
We’ve recorded a lot more Duo Sessions over at the MLT Club and will soon release the new Duo Session II album! Watch this space 😃
A huge shoutout and thank you to Journey Instruments for providing us with these stunning instruments. Believe it or not, this guitar and bass can both be folded in half and fit neatly into a bag the size of a backpack. If you’re in the market for a (travel) guitar or bass, definitely give them some consideration, they have lots of models to choose from.

Facebook Page Hacked
You might remember that a few weeks ago our Facebook page (and at the time, YouTube as well) had been hacked.
The issue on Facebook never fully got resolved and some of you might have noticed that our page currently looks like an absolute mess. The profile picture is a photo of just Mona (no, she’s not starting a solo career) and all posts from the last 4 years have been deleted. This has not been a creative decision on our part 😅
Basically, for the last few weeks we weren’t able to access our own page at all, and whoever is now in control of the page has been messing with it. Facebook is supposedly “on the case” but the support is insanely slow to say the least.
There are also fake weight loss ads being run with our account, despite Facebook assuring us that that’s impossible as our ad account has been disabled. Yet, many of you have been sending us screenshots of these ads. Go figure.
Facebook claims they are working on it but we have no idea how long it will be until we get access to our page again. We just thought we’d update you in case anyone is confused about our lack of posts there.
We are plenty busy with other things in the meantime but wish us luck anyway!
Thanks for reading, we hope you’ll enjoy watching the new video!
Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa
This is the first I’ve heard of Melanie’s passing. I am so sorry to hear about this! She was a wonderful singer who left us way too soon. RIP Melanie, you are well-loved!
Saddened to learn that Melanie passed away Tuesday, January 22, 2024 at age 76.

Nice
Wonderful, as always.
Not my favorite composition, but you make it sparkle.
As for another song with French lyrics…you might try “Hymn to Love” rec. by Edith Piaf among others. Beautiful ballad. Some singers switch between French and English on the chorus.
It’s always been a favorite of mine.
WONDERFUL rendition of this Melanie’s song. Perhaps you could do some song from another female singer that I love, Janis Ian, like “The other side of the Sun”
I remember the original and you two did it well!!!! Are there other Melanie songs coming, i.e., Brand New Key and Laydown??? Also interesting looking guitars.
Excellent cover of my favorite Melanie song from around 1970. I remember this song very well
Another creative cover superbly done! Great fun!
As always, “Thanks for the Memories!”
Beautifully done! I love the way your voices harmonize. Everyone is mentioning Melanie’s version of this song but the one by the New Seekers comes to mind for me.
Want to have fun with some French? Try Dominique from the Singing Nun.
Look what you have done to this song: wonderful interpretation!
Beautiful voices and sweet rithm.
