classic one of the best disco song ever :)

[odinokiybrodyaga]

Ма Ма Ма Ма – Мамаша Бэйкер – научила своих четверых сыновей,

Ма Ма Ма Ма – Мамаша Бэйкер – как обращаться с пушкой.

Ма Ма Ма Ма – Мамаша Бэйкер – она никогда не умела плакать,

Ма Ма Ма Ма – Мамаша Бэйкер – зато знала, как умирать...

What Great Song and You can Dance. The true story ends in Florida for Ma Baker and shoot out !!!

[nozemalkmaar]

number 1 in the dutch hitlist at my birth june 1977

[kulsevdasi]

@nozemalkmaar

Listening to this at stadhouderskade, amsterdam now :) 

[mightyquinn62]

Ma Barker was killed in Ocklawaha. A village in Florida near Ocala. There is a pub named after her and Gator Joe is a pub nearby where people can eat fried Alligator tails. The pub is named after the famous Gator that frequented the area. The FBI followed a paper trail all the way there to Ma Barker. Unbelievable when you consider that in those days it was in the middle of nowhere.

[deuvs123]

entertaining And educational. RIP BF

[DiscoPogo103]

True music never dies.

[museman007]

back in those times, when black made good music.. now, they have.. whiz khalifa and lil wayne.. .. I'd rather listen to this a thousand times.. it never gets old..!!

[Knighdt1]

@museman007 erm..sorry to disapoint you Museman, but Boney M was put together by a "White German guy" who sang all the songs. Ol' Bobby never sang a note, he just looked good. The same white guy was behind Milli Vanilli who were sadly found out.....yep! hurts i know....

[museman007]

@Knighdt1 No, it doesn't, I don't give a damn actually, this is not the kind of music I usually listen to.. whether this was put by a white german guy or not, Black people's music sucks these days anyways, Whiz Khalifa, Lil wayne, Nicky Minaj and those AUTOTUNE kings and queens.. lol..

[erialton]

@museman007 How about stay in silence instead of talking nonsense, mr. never was.

[museman007]

@erialton I'd answer to you, but, geez, are you asking me to stay in silence? Are you gonna treat me like your Mexican wife? Dude.. wake up, there are different opinions, learn to respect each of them if you want yours to be respected..!! I said I like this music.. LMAO! I think black people's music suck, they think my music suck.. so what?? Geez with you man..! Where I live there's something we call: " freedom of speech " I guess you don't have that privilege..

[erialton]

@museman007 so, respect my opinion: your are an idiot. Don't bother answering me. As you said, if I think you are an idiot, so what? that's what I think. The world has at least 4 billion morons, so you are part of a vast majority. Your kind own the earth.

[museman007]

@erialton you asked me to stay in silence, but I'm the idiot!! LMAO.! Your ideas are just ludicrous.. You talk like I care of what you think.. I can tell you my opinion of your comments, but it ain't worth my time.. c 'ya!! Nigger's music suck and go fuck yourself!

[erialton]

@museman007 That's nice. Just be in silence like I told you. Don't answer me. Keep quiet. Ok?

[Flamme2810]

@museman007 and what do you have? lady gaga???

[museman007]

@Flamme2810 Answer: "at the lake, sirenia, atargatis, amberian dawn, nightwish, epica, draconian, Diablo swing orchestra, acid bath, Black dahlia's murder, Korn, Kittie, Nota Obscura, coronatus, eluveitie, forever slave, after forever, leave's eyes, Liva, uneXpect, haggard, lacrimosa, nightwish, samael, therion, within temptation, virgin black.. just to name the ones that I like the most.!

my grandma was badder than ma Barker. Once somebody broke into our house when I was like 4 years old and my grandma took a pair of scissors under her arm and took me with her to go check things out. That's badass for an old lady!

[elbared2]

REALY ITS BEST  AND STILL AND IT WILL BE FOREVER

[jonquil4000]

A little bit of info, Ma baker was never in Cuba.

[overner2001]

why cant modern music have this? This was vilified when it came out: but cream always rises to the top. In years to come we will be saying the same about artists today!

[MrPippopasta]

[elusuario989]

I thought Ma "baker" was black.. LMFAO!!!

P.S. Why do they call her "baker" when it's "barker?"

[uaidavi]

@elusuario989 for it to sound better

[elusuario989]

@uaidavi :O really? that's it?

[elusuario989]

Dude you so fucked man, the info you gave is somewhat incorrect..

[HermioneGranger771]

Actually, the mastermind behind the Barker-Karpis Gang was Alvin Karpis. The gang frequently sent Ma to the movies while they were commiting or planning a crime. The FBI only said that she was the mastermind to justify an accidental killing of a 61-year-mother.They also said she was found with a Tommy Gun to justify her violent death. The idea of a storyline is great, but please check your facts! Thanks, and love the video!!!

[MrChubbleyWarner]

Absolute Classic...and what a RIFF!!

[naganokumas]

Boney M's 'Ma Baker' reminds me of the Beagle Boys' mum.

I enjoyed reading the Beagle Boys comics.

Disney produced them, but they seem to have disappeared.

Was it politically incorrect or something to have empathy for them with such a mum?

Modern Disney Inc. no longer has them.

If they are still prepared to consider them, I'm curious to know how.

Bring back the Beagle Boys.

[tanner87]

Boney M always wants to make you get up & dance, great music

[lukegriffin1994]

god i acctually love them brow girl in the ring, daddy cool, rivers of babylong, gotta go home, rasputin, horay its a hoilday and ma baker is apparently sampled in poker face

[myzombietube]

Thumbs up... if this song reminds your school or college days..

[TheSeeker008]

@myzombietube you must be really really old

[SuperBrokenpencil]

im guessing this is where lady gaga got her "mamamama" from in pokerface

is there an echo here?

[chekelitoCIL]

Liz was a beauty in her youth, still a beauty in her mature years.

Love this music.

[MrCamus1967]

@chekelitoCIL

So so beautiful. I just can' t stop admiring this beautiful black woman. I've had this for her even when I first saw Boney M on video 30 years ago; I was then a kid.

[anzac2404]

One of the class acts of the 70's & 80's...do I appreciate the fact that I grew up in the 70's more than ever! Thanks for posting the original video, great band; cheers.

RIP: Bobby Farrell Oct 6-1949 - Dec 30-2010

[denjo0011]

it is song every body will like after listnning first time.

[MsGang96]

this so good

[verona2003]

I visited Holland in the 70's with my family and Boney M. was one of the FAVORITE groups there at that time. I remember singing an dancing to this music with children and teens in the street . When we came home, we brought all the albums with us. What a great group!

[BlueLimeMan]

Not a true story.

[raizmani]

im guessing this is where lady gaga got her "mamamama" from in pokerface

[raizmani]

im gussing this is where lady gaga got her "mamamama" from in pokerface

[TheGatodemierda]

[katjicca]

Great song love it!!!

[hamidradfar]

what does "she left her husband flat" mean?

[thefirework38]

@hamidradfar it just means she went away of the house where she lived with her husband ans her sons.

[TrainmasterCurt]

This and Rasputin are classic "Social" songs in Manitoba

a woman gangster awesome

[gigistekno]

fuck today's artists

[sensey07]

I guess to the Germans, "Barker" sounded like "Baker" so they went with that. Anyway, great job interspersing the historical background (from wiki) with the video. Props also given to the gal in the white dress - helluva bod ...

[HHOhybridBuilder]

Nice voices. Perfect harmony.

[IAmLedsterOo]

Thanks for all the facts :), i paused the song to read each one. :D

[IAmLedsterOo]

@lioncub2009

ahahahahaha

whats your problem?

[michealajax]

bobby farrel is op de nederlandse antillen geboren

[ShowNoMercyZing]

It is claimed that Ma Barker, who never actually murdered anyone, was used as a scapegoat by the notorious J Edgar Hoover and, as a consequence, was shot and killed by FBI

[gavinprosser]

love them all.......where are the songs like this these days!

[alphaecho100]

Why cant modern chart music have the sparkle & the fun factor like this sort of music does? This type of music will be remembered and enjoyed for years to come.

RIP Talented musicians because there aint one in the charts today, nor was there last year, or the year before..........

[bountybedhopper]

@alphaecho100

cause today people wanna see trash and hear trash ...music from this era is the basis for all modern music that we have now come to despise...

[TheSwisherManCan]

@alphaecho100 Your dad said the same thing about Boney M.

[prudey89]

@TheSwisherManCan hahaha nice I wish I could like this comment over and over and over again

[Fuku2hoe]

@alphaecho100 you know that your parents and the older generations said the same thing about this music, saying that there is no talent in music today.. your getting OLD!!! u dont think adele is a talented musician?

[lewisner]

@Fuku2hoe Adele is talented but performs very very boring MOR music, what used to be known as "elevator music". She is the modern equivalent of Phil Collins or Billy Joel. Compare her to Siouxsie Sioux.

[alphaecho100]

@Fuku2hoe if I'm honest I dont, no. I have to switch the radio off when Rhianna comes on & I cant stand Beyonce either. I do however like just about all of Christina Aguileras music - so I'm not a complete misery lol. For me personally, music seemed to die in around 2002/3  : )

[mcsamab]

@alphaecho100 It's a cycle, people think the music they grew up with was best because they associated it with so much that happened during that time of their lives. But just because of that, music does not die at a certain point. It never dies. The amount of music we ever hear is but a tiny drop in the ocean of music produced on a daily basis anyway. And different people have different tastes. So lets shut the fuck up and enjoy boney m

[GurusCZ]

his voice is cool

[gotham61]

@GurusCZ The guy in the video (Bobby Farrell) is not the voice you hear on the recording. Boney M were a lot like Milli Vanilli a decade later, a cool looking front group for German producer Frank Farian's own songs and recordings. It's Farian's voice on the record.

is it Liz or Marcia on the intro line " Freeze! I;m Ma Baker...& gimme all your $" ? it's hilarious!! and what a catchy tune.

[leanmachene]

If theres one thing brits do well its music and no disrespect be we led the way in the 80s, just a shame theres a brain drain in music now days, remix after remix, without original musicians there wouldent be mixing, im afraid to say there has and still is a big regression in music, its that bad that even when a new song has been out for a week u hear remixes of it, its time to leave the mixing decks and hit the instruments, we need it bad!

[korgho5757]

super as most of their songs one of the most talented groups in history

[gurugoogly2]

@fcac20

You're right music made before 99 is great, I'm 26.

[SetaSou]

Fake... learn some actually history, the whole "Ma Maker" story is just the way of the police to make sense of the slaughter of an old lady, who got cought in a crossfire, all that she did was to feed and give a roof to her sons (wich were actual criminals). Stupid police
