The song was a huge success in Europe and Latin America, topping the charts in many countries there. It was a number 2 hit in the UK (only surpassed by Donna Summer's "I Feel Love"). In the U.S, the song only reached number 96.

Frank Farian's assistant Hans-Jrg Mayer discovered a popular Tunisian folkloric song, "Sidi Mansour" while on holiday, and rewrote the song into a disco track. The lyrics by Fred Jay were inspired by the story of legendary 1930s US outlaw Ma Barker, although the name was changed into "Ma Baker" because "it sounded better".[1]

With a structure similar to Boney M.'s breakthrough single "Daddy Cool", using the same gimmick percussion, alternating answer-back vocals, and a spoken mid-part, the song opened with a snarling "Freeze, I'm Ma Baker, put your hands in the air and gimme all your money". Although it has never been officially credited, the voice was that of Linda Blake, the wife of Frank Farian's American friend Bill Swisher, who was a soldier in Germany at the time. Bill Swisher performed the spoken mid-part, announcing a bulletin from the FBI. He was used on several later Boney M. recordings, including "Rasputin" and "El Lute".

Farian re-recorded the song with Milli Vanilli in 1988, and reused both spoken voiceovers from the original song in the cover. Boney M.'s version was remixed the same year, 1993 and again in 1998. The song has been covered a number of times, including Banda R-15 and Knorkator. The "ma ma ma ma" chorus vocals were also sampled in Lady Gaga's "Poker Face".[2]

The song's 'Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma' line is alluded in the opening lines and in between verses in Lady Gaga's hit 'Poker Face'. The song is also featured in the final episode of the sixth series of the television show Black Mirror, in which the demon character takes on the appearance of Boney M. member Bobby Farrell.[51]

Baker's performance of the Gershwins' "But Not For Me" on his first vocal LP presents the Prince of Cool at his coolest. His tenor vocal rarely wavers from the midrange notes on which he starts, nearly to the point of monotone. For most singers, this could reflect a lack of dynamic sense or control of range; for Baker, it only upped the nonchalant factor. His delivery projects attitude and makes him sound detached from the song rather than stumbling.

Sometimes, an artist's greatest epitaph is written by another artist. Trent Reznor unwittingly wrote the perfect song for Johnny Cash with "Hurt." Elvis Costello did it for Chet Baker with "Almost Blue," which Baker would perform at live shows throughout the final years of his life. This version, recorded live in Tokyo a year before his death, captures Baker at his most vulnerable and honest. After a mugging in 1968 left his jaw reshaped, Baker re-taught himself the trumpet. He's more breathy at times, and the tone carries a certain richness. But when he opens his mouth, the true mood dawns. This is the voice of a 57-year-old who sounds like he's lived enough, and been hurt enough, to be 80. When Baker sings, "All the things that you promised with your eyes / I see in hers, too," you wonder how many nights he spent looking at himself in the mirror, wondering where the promise in his own eyes had gone.

Still, to listen closely to Little Oblivions is to stare into the abyss. Baker, 25, struggled with addiction as a teenager, an experience that has informed much of her songwriting to date. In 2019, she decided to try drinking again, thinking she might have more of a handle on herself after a few years of growing up. Instead, the resulting downward spiral reopened old wounds and accelerated the process of reevaluating everything Baker thought she knew about herself. She wrestled with deep guilt over her failures as a person and found herself largely alienated from the Christian faith that had always been a foundational element of her life and music.

As these struggles shaped her first collection of solo material in almost four years, Baker allowed herself to write from a place of complete honesty. For the first time, she did not attempt to steer her songs toward some kind of hopeful resolution. The result is an extremely heavy listen, a mournful and often angry album that saves its harshest critiques for Baker herself. Allusions to violence, substance abuse, and even suicidal ideation abound. This is a portrait of a person in crisis, one that offers no easy answers but surrounds its rawest declarations with pristine beauty.

Manchester Orchestra are friends of mine, which is weird, because when I was a teenager they were idols in our scene. When I played house shows with my band, every band in the scene covered a different Manchester Orchestra song. Memphis goes ape over them.

Tegan and Sara had love songs about women and it helped me start to accept the fact that it was an OK emotion to be public about, that love for a person of the same sex could be sung about in the same way as a heterosexual relationship could be, because you only hear songs that are girls singing about their boyfriends, or boys singing about chasing girls on pop radio and you never hear women singing to women.

Animals communicate using sounds in a wide range of contexts, and auditory systems must encode behaviorally relevant acoustic features to drive appropriate reactions. How feature detection emerges along auditory pathways has been difficult to solve due to challenges in mapping the underlying circuits and characterizing responses to behaviorally relevant features. Here, we study auditory activity in the Drosophila melanogaster brain and investigate feature selectivity for the two main modes of fly courtship song, sinusoids and pulse trains. We identify 24 new cell types of the intermediate layers of the auditory pathway, and using a new connectomic resource, FlyWire, we map all synaptic connections between these cell types, in addition to connections to known early and higher-order auditory neurons-this represents the first circuit-level map of the auditory pathway. We additionally determine the sign (excitatory or inhibitory) of most synapses in this auditory connectome. We find that auditory neurons display a continuum of preferences for courtship song modes and that neurons with different song-mode preferences and response timescales are highly interconnected in a network that lacks hierarchical structure. Nonetheless, we find that the response properties of individual cell types within the connectome are predictable from their inputs. Our study thus provides new insights into the organization of auditory coding within the Drosophila brain.

My work with Services For Education Music Services has given me many opportunities to write new material for all areas of school life. Whether it's for a class assembly or termly project, there is scope for songs about almost anything. It's great to be given a subject and asked if I can write something for a given age group.

The Baker Bells staff accept requests from the Dartmouth community for songs to be played on specific dates / times. Choose from the list of songs below or the carilloneur can prepare new songs if your requested song is not in the list of available songs.

Requests range from "Happy Birthday" to contempory popular songs. Not all song requests can easily be prepared for the Baker bells, due to the limited range and pitch classes available. Some time and effort are required to program new songs so lead time is appreciated.

Bells ring the time on the hour and half hour. Songs are played three times a day - the alma mater at 6pm, and varying pieces during intervals between classes. Songs can be requested by e-mailing "Bells". If you are requesting a song that is already in the song database, it takes a day or two to program it. Songs can be scheduled for any time except on the hour.

Baker was born May 12, 1927 to B.O. and Martha Dee Baker in Farmersville, Texas, where the family was active at First Baptist Church. After serving in the Navy near the end of World War II, Baker returned to his studies at Baylor University, graduating in 1950. While a student, Baker became part of the Youth Revival Movement as a music leader and soloist. He began the Baylor Religious Hour Choir that was an integral part of a campus midweek service and a touring gospel choir that remains active 62 years later. He also co-wrote the Baylor fight song that is still used by the university.


Shannon Baker and her catalogue of melodic original songs have been a mainstay in musical venues all over Chicago. The Burners (Dan Kane, Michael Fitz, Bobby Puetz, and Pat Corbett) added sonic layers to a rich collection of songs that leave an echo of nostalgia for the classics of while remaining consistently fresh throughout.
