Ma-Ma-Ma Belle is a song recorded by the Electric Light Orchestra.
It was taken from the 1973 album On the Third Day. In the UK, the single version had a different mix from the album original and was edited in length. In the US, the B-Side "Daybreaker" received more airplay than the A-side; thus, "Daybreaker" charted instead.
"Daybreaker" was the first of two instrumentals on the LP, featuring heavy use of the Moog synthesizer as played by Richard Tandy. "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle" also featured on the ELO EP in 1978. In the UK the B-side "Oh No Not Susan" found its way on to various DJs play lists at the BBC unaware that the songs lyrics contained profanity.
