Mary Had a Little Boy

"Mary Had a Little Boy" is a song by German Eurodance group Snap!, released in November 1990 by Ariola, BMG and Logic Records as the fourth and final single from their debut studio album, World Power (1990). The song features vocals by American singer Penny Ford, who also co-wrote the lyrics, and reached number one in Zimbabwe and on the Canadian RPM Dance chart. Its lyrics are based on the nineteenth century nursery rhyme, Mary Had a Little Lamb. The chorus includes the line "Mary had a little boy, little did she know; and everywhere that Mary went, the little boy was sure to go". The music video for the song was directed by James Hudson and filmed in London. The song was re-recorded and included on their 2003 remix album The Cult of Snap! featuring Milky & 2NF.
