Boney M. - Ma Baker (Sopot Festival 1979) karaoke version
A simple way into the karaoke version when you want the arrangement to stay familiar and the lead vocal to step aside.
About this version
Sometimes you do not need a big setup. You just need the song without the lead and a straight path into rehearsal.

singing practice at home
Useful for
cover rehearsals
Useful for
working on phrasing before a full take
A simple way in
A cleaner backing track for singing, rehearsal, and covers when you want the song to stay familiar but the lead vocal to step aside.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.

I'm Ma Baker - put your hands in the air, gimme all your money - This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat from ol' Chicago town She was the meanest cat In old Chicago town She was the meanest cat She really moved them down She had no heart at all No no no heart at all She was the meanest cat Oh she was really tough She left her husband flat He wasn't tough enough She took her boys along 'cos they were mean and strong Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die They left a trail of crime Across the U.S.A. And when one boy was killed She really made them pay She had no heart at all No no no heart at all Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die she met a man she liked she thought she'd stay with him one day he formed with them they did away with him she didn't care at all just didn't care at all - Here is a special bulletin. Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman. Her photo is hanging on every post office wall. If you have any information about this woman, please contact the nearest police station... - Don't anybody move! The money or your lives! One day they robbed a bank it was their last foray the cops appeared too soon they couldn't get away and all the loot they had it made them mighty mad and so they shot it out Ma Baker and her sons they didn't want to hang they died with blazing guns and so the story ends of one who left no friends Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die #BoneyM #BoneyM #MaBaker
