This song was real special to young teenagers carrying M-16s through rice paddies. Made you think of home.....still does!

[@kiethlambert8681]

That's so true Ted. I was born and raised in Northern California. I spend my entire Naval career in the Pacific, and SE Asia (86-90). Us California boys could always tell when one of us was homesick. We would play this in our boombox and we would be okay. It's always reminded me of winter days sitting on the wharf in San Francisco eating clam chowder and drink a Anchor Steam. Those are good memories.

[@DR-mq1vn]

I don't think the young ones on here will understand what you are saying. Ted is talking about the Vietnam War.

[@linnymaemullins3319]

😍

[@lisaray9944]

Ted the young people wont understand what your talking about . Most kids today have no idea about Vietnam. Sad that history skips over that and much much more today . Thank all for your service and to the ones that didn’t come home .

[@McSnacks930]

I understood you ted as a young man. Our generation have had a few wars also. Service overseas is service and I appreciated you giving us a sense of the songs that helped you think of home.

[@StormyPeak]

For those wondering... the song was released in 1965. That show, might have been from the early 1970's but the song is definitely from the mid-1960s. I grew up in the 1960's and 70's...The Mamas and The Poppas were very popular...had a lot of great hits, and Mama Cass, the heavy set girl, she went on to have some successful solos. She made a hit out of a John Denver song called Leaving on a Jet Plane and also she has a Beautiful song that was meant to encourage people to try for their dreams... it's called "Make Your Own Kind of Music"

[@jamescrane2156]

The clip is from the a show called "The Hollywood Palace" and it's from January 1965. Their hippie fashions and long hair would have been radical to the conservative television audiences that year.

It's probably 69-70 that's when colour tv became accessible to the public

[@StormyPeak]

@@acavell6184 I can still remember the first color t.v. I ever saw, my grandma's youngest son, who was only 16, but worked from the time he was in the 8th grade at a cheese plant...saved his money and bought his mom a beautiful color t.v. in a large wood cabinet. I happen to be staying there the next day (I stayed with them on most Saturdays, as my parents worked) and I got to watch Secretariat win the Belmont stakes in color. I had watched in 1972, his stable mate, Riva Ridge win the Kentucky Derby, on my Grandma's old black and white t.v, and then in 1973, saw Secretariat win the the Derby and Preakness...but seeing it in color, as he won the Belmont was really awesome. It hooked me into horse racing of which I still have a passion for. : ) My own family couldn't afford a color tv until around 1975.

[@jamesrogers4917]

The story goes. That. When you went to a party. It was not a party till mama kass showed up. (Kass )Elliott. She always came with a quart of liquid L S D

[@adwood201]

They referred to Cass as "The Acid Queen". Hell of a singer though, I think she collapsed on stage and died later. I also suspect there are a few different stories of how she died. My older sister was a fan of hers who could sing well but died too young also....

[@jamesrogers4917]

Do you remember the group. Wilson Phillips. Owen Elliott. Is the daughter of cass. Elliott

Timeless song that has a '60s timestamp. This song reminds me of all the things my parents must have experienced when they first immigrated to CA from the Ireland and across the states in the late '60s. It just makes me imagine of the Golden Age of California and how cool that must have been. SoCal at it's finest. Great choice Mr. V

[@CKru8789]

This song has got this call and response thing going. You got the one main verse being sung. Then you got the other members repeating that lyric in harmony. And this pretty much flows until you get to the bridge of the song where it is all sung as one verse, then you get the instrumental interlude and then a repeat of the first part with a slight change of the lyrics. Quite nice actually. It’s very catchy, and The Mama’s & The Papa’s were brilliant when it came to harmony and doing stuff like this.

[@stevenfritchie7529]

The Mamas and the Papas were an American folk rock vocal group 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 John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips (born Holly Gilliam). 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. The Mamas and the Papas released five studio albums and 17 singles over four years, six of which made the Billboard top 10 and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide.[3] The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for its contributions to the music industry.[1] The band reunited briefly to record the album People Like Us in 1971 but had ceased touring and performing by that time. John Philips also got bands together for the Monterey Pop Festival. Singers and bands included Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin (Mama Cass is shown during Joplin's performance), Jefferson Airplane, the American debut of The Jimi Hendrix Experience (where he set his guitar on fire), The Who, and The Mamas & The Papas. Michelle Philips is currently the only surviving member and she became an actress.

Their song Creeque Alley is a catchy tune and it tells the story of their formation & rise to fame and also the general sense what it was like as a struggling musician in the 60s. Love the Mamas & The Papas...They were really heavy into LSD and there was lots of rumours surrounding Mama Cass' untimely death.

[@vidpie]

Wikipedia: "The song was written in 1963 while John Phillips and Michelle Phillips were living in New York City during a particularly cold winter, and she was missing sunny California. He would work on tunes late at night and one morning brought her the first verse. ...Michelle Phillips wrote the lyrics, 'Well, I got down on my knees, and I pretend to pray,' but Cass Elliot had been singing 'I began to pray' until corrected by Phillips when they were touring. She sang 'began' on the original recording." Phillips is the last surviving original member of the Mamas and the Papas.

[@prestigeworldwide5239]

[@reshaud81]

The Mamas and the Papas were formed by husband and wife John Phillips (formerly of the New Journeymen) and Michelle Phillips, and Denny Doherty (formerly of the Mugwumps). Both of these earlier acts were folk groups active in 1964 and 1965. The last member to join was Cass Elliot, Doherty's bandmate in the Mugwumps, who had to overcome John Phillips' concern that her voice was too low for his arrangements, that her physical appearance would be an obstacle to the band's success and that her temperament was incompatible with his (Elliot struggled with obesity all her life, and felt deeply insecure about her looks). The group considered calling itself the Magic Cyrcle before switching to the Mamas and the Papas, inspired by the Hells Angels, whose female associates were called "Mamas"!

I’m a seventy yr young white lady who grew up and partied to all the songs you react to. I’m glad to see young people rediscovering this music. Most of it iconic. You have to remember they didn’t have auto tune or electronics to clean up their voices. It was what you hear is what you get. Didn’t have MTV or VH1 to play music videos on. What we got to see was live performances. MTV didn’t come into being until August 1981. The Mamas and the Papas also did “Monday Monday”. Great song and lyrics.
