Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma - Melanie Safka Cover by MonaLisa Twins
--------------
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” … we think you’ve heard us butcher the French language enough now, 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 (www.mlt1.uk/ytmltc) and will soon release the new Duo Session II album! Watch this space 😃
A huge shoutout and thank you to Journey Instruments (journeyinstruments.com/) 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.
Thanks for listening, this was a fun one to film!

RIP Melanie - you brought many songs and memories to a generation.....
Oh I didn't hear. Went and looked after seeing this. :( She was amazing. Check out her doing this song with Miley Cyrus. She was having so much fun with it. Such a talent.
O good golly! It cannot get any better than this! The Twins are the BEST!
I'm sure Melanie was proud of this cover of her song! RIP Melanie
Holy Smokes. That was wonderful. I bet Melanie was singing and smiling along with you. 🙂
Oh, Melanie, look what they've done to your song. Pure joy! Liked and shared to the world.
Best comment here! 🙂
Hard to say, what made Melanie great in those days. There was a storm of styles and development then, but still something happened, when they played Melanie. It was not just Folk. There was enough folk then, and good folk. But Melanie was a kind of het own. Perhaps I was amazed, simplicity could do it. But the world stood still for a few minutes, away from confusing things.
But she could fill the whole room with music, with almost no background. The girls here can that too. Pretty good background, by the way: simple but catchy. But you tell me, what the magic is here?..
Look what the twins did to her song ma, bravo.
one of the best songs of the 1960s - so many meanings - beautifully rendered - you are both -if I may say so -very talented
Very sad that we lost Melanie on Tuesday, January 23, RIP. Did you ever get the chance to meet her? Your cover is very lovely, and I'm sure she would have loved it too!
Melanie will be proud of what you have done to her song girls !!!
She will be remembered thanks to what you've done with her song.
Another perfect cover by our twins! I bet Melanie would love it if she ever hears it! Hard to believe she's 76 now.
Walking in to work at the B Dalton in the mall, I actually fell to the floor laughing when I heard 'Look What They've Done' on the Muzak performed by a dense string orchestra and thousand voice female choir that only repeat 'look what they've done to my song, Ma' through the playing. And it was mostly semi-staccato.
Melanie is one of my favourite artists from the 1970's and you've done the song proud.
Remember the original from my early 70’s childhood… And know by simple observation how relevant it is to our common experiences today.
Thanks, MonaLisa Twins…! 👍
Perfect song for y’all’s vocals 😍 btw finally someone using a harmonica!!! Love it 😇
Watch Mona and Lisa's cover Please Please Me on RUclips. Mona plays the Blues Harp in that one too!
@@rickross8917 that’s awesome good deal 😊 I’ll listen now! Also the Beatles are my favorite band so YES 😄
@@rickross8917 And they got John Sebastian on a couple songs too.
The Harmonica added a certain charm to the song!
@@rickross8917 Yes and it's an absolute outstanding cover! Captures the energy and magic of the original. ☺
You did a wonderful thing to this song 👌 Wonderful, love it, très bien ❤🎸🎸🎼🎵🎶😊👏👏👏
@@Jack.333 Hi John 😀👋
@@Jack.333Nice that you are still here 👍😀
Look what YOU'VE done to my brain, you've picked it like a chicken bone and I think I'm totally insane. 🐔 What an upbeat and joyful rendition! Love it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a fun, authentic cover of this truly groovy song! I bet Melanie will love this! Superb throughout! Lead, harmony, instrumentation, French! Special nod to Mona's perfect blues harp!
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
Y’all just brought back a great childhood memory of my Aunt and maternal grandmother singing this with me as a little boy. ❤
Love that! Thank you 🙏
I've been waiting to hear musicians that have it all. My wait is over.
Had totally forgotten this song: what a great version too
As with all of their covers, MLT honors the original while adding their own elements and energy. A superb perfomance!
Every song they sing is just harmonized perfection. Thank you so much young ladies.
Another smash cover by the amazing MonaLisa Twins. I love Mona's high harmony at the end and the French verse was a delightful surprise. Brilliantly sung, brilliantly played.
Excellent! Look what they done to my mind... Brought me back to my childhood again. Thank you so much ladies ❤️
I love listening to this song in the MLT Club. Always makes me smile. Such a quirky little catchy tune with some unique lyrics. I like everything about your version, the vocals, the guitar, Mona on bass and harmonica and the groovy boots. I'm glad you put it on RUclips. The world needs to smile.
The fun you two had with this song shows with the smiles on your faces and the way you look at each other…it was pure joy to watch and listen….Melanie will be proud of this when she hears it❤️🧡
Yay! Melanie is a Classic Icon and you just added to this legacy!
Mona's Blues Harp playing is always phenomenal. You all have so many layers going on ,how do you keep up with them all?
Thanks Ladies for such a beautiful rendition 💛❤️
These two are fantastic musicians. Just love their performances
I remember when this first came out, .. yes I'm that old, and you two are just a breath of fresh air. 👌🎶🎶💖
Love the simplicity of the chords and the purity & harmony of the vocals! Most excellent rendition.
The singing and harmonies are absolutely brilliant and beautiful, leaves me breathless. Love the French part, and Mona's blues harp is wonderful. Your talent just elevates this song so amazingly.
I love the sound, Mona's sweet harmonica, and that mellow bass... I've never see anything like it. Lisa, that's the first time I've heard this son AND understood the words. And your French is brilliant... You two are a class act!
Haven't heard this in years. Wonderful harmonies and love the harp
I have no doubt Melanie will love this. Truly wonderful and the harmonies...WOW Thank you! 😃
Awesome! Another song executed to musical perfection by the MLT's! Gotta love it! 👍👍🎤🎤🎸🎸👏👏
This world needs more MonaLisa !
I know when I see something from Mona Lisa Twins its going to be well done and I will enjoy it.
Old guy and long time fan of Melanie, you two ladies did a great job! Thank you
Those harmonies... Goosebumps!!!
Just wow
Love Melanie too.
If y'all happen to find a key, i got a pair of roller skates
Well that was more fun than gathering half a dozen eggs from our hens in a single day! I haven't heard that song in years, and your rendition was wonderful!
From the very first, you twins captured my attention because, as I've told you before, both of my parents were twins and both were musical.
BTW, my mother is still living, and now she's living with us. She's 91 and has Alzheimer's, so we have some good days, some bad days, but music always makes things better. She at times has trouble remembering routine things that she's done in the past six months of living with us, but when I play and sing an old song and stumble on the lyrics, she chimes in to tell me what line comes next.
Oh, and I've played your videos for my Mom. I'll definitely be sharing this one with her.
Music seems to unlock that door for quite a few dementia patients and this is such a unique arrangement of a classic song.
Phenomenal. This was one of my favorite songs in the '70s and you've done it justice making it current. Outstanding performance.
Purely, a refreshing rendition of a lovely lovely song, Melanie would/hopefully enjoys this take, outstanding harmonies, Mona's harmonica/bluesharp touch gives it that extra essence. Well done ladies, Kudos, Love it 😊🤘🌞💜
it's a rainy day here in Buffalo,NY but after watching and listening to you my world is instantly sunny.
thanks for posting as always,
charles
OMG, what a blast!! I have loved Melanie's music for decades. Then along come my new favourite singers.
The accents. I love Melanie's accent and now Mona Lisa sing in their gorgeous accents.
And the final irony (or anti-irony), the song is about a song being tied up in a plastic bag and turned upside down. Only Mona Lisa did just the opposite and raised Melanie's song to a higher level.
Yah gotta love Mona and Lisa, they are fabulous.
What a beautiful version of a Melanie classic. Thank you for this memory from my teenage years.
Wow that was a blast from the past took me back to my youth , well done ladies your voices are incredible.
I just love the Duo Sessions! Always loved this version. This brings me back as a teen watching the Talk Shows with singing this song. The memories. Loved it. Peace. Stay safe. God Speed. Stay Groovy!🍻🌹♥️🤘
Fantastic
I love the MonaLisa Twins! They are so talented, do the Beatles really well and are both adorable!
Oh My Goodness.....these ladies are sooooo delightful to watch and listen to.
PERFEKT MÄDELS !
WOW great job. Love your voices.
Beautiful voices coming from beautiful ladies
What a joy to see them again, I missed them a lot, a week ago I lost my father and the music they make, I love it, they arrived at a good time, I needed their music, it heals my soul, I send you a big hug from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🤗
We’re so sorry to hear that 😔 Much peace and love to Argentina!
@@MonaLisaTwins Thank you very much to both 🙏🏻
Very beautiful song. You both are very talented and always a pleasure to listen to!
I love Melanie's music and I'm glad to see your talents giving her a little bit of attention.
I love your style,it’s brilliant cheers,Roly🇬🇧.
"Ils ont changé ma chanson, Ma..." excellent même en Français. Bravo à vous.
What a great cover! You even wore the style of dresses that Melanie wore and Mona had braids in her hair as Melanie had sometimes. This was more than a cover; it was a tribute to Melanie Safka.
I had forgotten that part of the song was in French, and it was a nice surprise.
I loved the sound from the two new Journey guitars. Mona now seems pretty comfortable playing the base and Lisa is always great on whatever guitar she chooses. Mona's harmonica play was also spot on as it always is.
Fabulous :-)
_Ils ont changé ma chanson..._
I used to love Melanie, and I love this blast from the past! Good job on the harmonica, too!
Love it! Thanks for a bright spot in the day! Blessings!
Such a beauty.. "Mona" :)
WOW! WOW! WOW! From Across The Pond! ANOTHER WINNER FOR SURE, LADIES!!!
another song of joy
I remember Melanie singing this from so long ago. The lyrics really stand out to help you remember it. You always respect the original artist's work so well. It's a wonderful arrangement. It was great to hear it in the Club, and I'm glad it's out here now for everyone to hear it. Thanks.
Just listened to Melanie on RUclips yesterday... You do the her and the song Justice...❤❤❤
Lovely voices; really okay version.
Nice to meet you👨🏫
Thank you very much🙇♂️
Nice sharing👍😊
I love this song✌️😊
👏👏👏👏👏😊🎧🎼🔄
I wish you GOOD LUCK🙏🙏😊
Wow, Lisa songs this so well, a beautiful version. Plus great support from Mona too!
Puré joy and happiness!
Like the jammys..LOVE you girls.Your voices are one of a kind. God's speed girls.
Congratulations, Ladies. One of your best non-Beatles covers you've done yet. Thanks much.
This boomer is stoked. Thank you ladies!
This is wonderful! The harmonies are so tight - PERFECT!
Very well done, ladies. And I was impressed by the sound of the takedown carbon fiber Journey guitar. Darn it, you've got me thinking about buying one!
Gracias por regalarnos vuestras creaciones y versiones extraordinarias 🤗☮️👍
That’s fantastic girls!
Супер!!!😊💫💢💫❤❤🌈🌈✨😻😻👍👍
Love that blues harp, and you got braids in your hair looking groovy.
I haven’t heard that song in ages. It’s a song you can very quickly and easily start singing too. If you sing this one you guys got to sing “ Brand New Key,” it will be a sure winner for you two!
Brand New Key…I remember that one…love that song…way back in the day 50s-60s on those roller skates and on Friday nights at the school they’d have those roller skating parties.❤
superb performance of this song.
All the best steve
Nice! We love this Duo Session. Your voices are on fire here. It’s easy to see how much you enjoy this. Simply sensational. You chicks rock! Stay groovy!🧡🧡☕️☕️
look what a wonderfull sisterduo..................
Wonderful song it's a pleasure to hear you congratulations 😊😊😊
Like their music. Love their antics. Smothers brothers have grandchildren?
Wow...Thank you for this wonderful cover of a sweet song from my teenage years. 💖☮️
RIP Melanie
OMG this girls are looking so good and arre great singers 🙂
Very impressive high harmony by Mona at the end.
You two sing great!!! 😍😍😍
Pleasant little song that stays in your head. I will be whistling it all day. Love Lisa's solo on the uke. Great job, ladies. Peace be
How can you not love these girls.
So, so beautiful! May I ask what kind of boots the blonde twin is wearing?
Well done…love it
A fabulous version of a fine song.
Wow good, good, good.
Comment ?!! ils ont changé TA chanson ?!!! Hallucinant !
