The Mamas & The Papas being iconic for over 7 minutes

The Mamas & The Papas aka The Meme Queens & The Meme Kings
The Mamas & the Papas were an American folk rock vocal group formed in Los Angeles, California, which recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968. The group was a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the 1960s. The group was composed of Americans John Phillips, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips and Canadian Denny Doherty. Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips,[2] the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group, who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early 1960s.

Cass Elliot was an amazing woman.. she was so talented and so smart..the energy she put out was incredible.Then of course the genius of John Phillips is undeniable

[@PapaAlec]

Thank you Steve!!😁

[@EternalCass]

As a mamas and papas super fan this is fricking hilarious 🤣

[@AdeleEevee]

This is literally my new favorite video on the Internet!! My favorite band 🥰 have you seen the video of Cass doing a pitch for yogurt? "There have been no wars in the name of yogurt." Or predicting Hamilton the musical! That's from a game show clip. Also that performance with Denny and Cass gets me every time 😭 I love them together so much

[@PapaAlec]

Thanks so much I’m glad you enjoyed it!!😊 and no I don’t think I’ve seen that but it sounds hilarious😂😂 Cass was so perfect for things like talk shows and game shows. And I totally agree about Cass and Denny, check out my “My Heart Stood Still” video it’s centered around them and I think you’ll enjoy it. Thanks so much for the comment🤗

RIP Eleanor ! The real voice of the mamas and the papas!,l

[@ilovetati91]

the amount of drugs lmao

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

Guess,I was born in 1961 so they’d been big round mid 1960s and 1970 maybe the end of the band to be exact. I remember my older sissy having the copy of their latest album,she loved them. Id love to hang out in my sissies room, smelt strange” to me plus she coloured artist Peter Max artist doodle print a teenage thing to then. I’d have fun assistance. I loved Cass. Who I fast learned by getting her sensitivity & intelligence obviously my sister is similar. Hated being called Mama Cass ! Wouldn’t u, especially if you had a pretty name as Ellen?or Elanor? Since she scarcely said it…..hard to recall. Also I’m no Gen Z I’m 62 music lover . ..😊

W❤️ Mamas the Papas

[@mikem6384]

Most iconic thing to me is the interspersed yeeeaahhs or nooooooss. Sometimes both in the same tune. (like Somebody Groovy)

[@cassunn]

Love this

[@PapaAlec]

Thank you!! I had a lot of fun making it

[@cassunn]

@@PapaAlec Of course! Would love to see more, sadly there isn't a ton of live footage of the mamas and papas :(

[@tmamone83]

Fun fact: the reason why Michelle Phillips' mic wasn't working at Monterey was because Jimi Hendrix when on before the Mamas and the Papas, and his set blew out one of the mics.

[@PapaAlec]

It was actually The Who that broke the microphone!😊

[@tmamone83]

@@PapaAlec My bad

[@philippemasson2205]

banana mic : a revolution...

[@rapman5791]

For Cass to say that John Phillips was left of her politically he must have been some lib. She was one of the most liberal forces on the planet and I can’t imagine anyone being left of her. 🤷‍♂️

[@PapaAlec]

Haha true! John actually said the line first when introducing Michelle and Cass before they sang Words of Love on Ed Sullivan. So it’s probably just part of their routine introduction that she was repeating
