Bless you for calling Mama Cass “The girl with the auburn hair!” There were other less respectful things you could’ve called her, but you just earned me as a loyal fan for your description of her!
That's what I was just telling my son, he likes this channel too and I don't mind him watching causes these boys are so nice. Other channels aren't so nice and respectful and I love how these boys truly appreciate the music
She had a voice like a bell, and although the writing and arrangements are perfection, I don’t know if they’d gotten as far as they did without the clarion call of Cass Elliot.
He's saying "Scooby-Doo cast" not Cass. The group looks like the drawings of the "cast" on the cartoon. I never saw it before but whoever commented that on the California Dreamin' video is right. 😂
My mother loved her. Always talked about her vocals and how incredible she was. Even said for a big girl she was really pretty. Mom was right (she passed in 96)
Mama Cass was known as “The Queen of the canyon” back in the day. She knew EVERYONE and if it wasn’t for her, Crosby, Stills and Nash would never have existed.
This was recorded in 1965, and their clothes remind us of Scooby-Do because the comics were patterned after the popular styles of that era - so ya'll aren't wrong! :-) Cass Elliott had one of the greatest voices in the 20th century; left us far too early.
Monday Monday was in '66. I remember being stopped in my tracks, hearing that on the radio. And of _course_ it was the same people who sang California Dreaming! 🤗😎
Did you see how insulted he was at the line............" and I pretend to pray". Tim says............pretend? That's because his grandfather was a pastor of his own church. Those boys were raised on Gospel music.
When you started dancing around with your arms waving free, I thought, "this guy really gets it!" He totally gets the hippie vibe. He would fit into San Francisco's Haight Ashbury scene like a hand in a glove..
@@abook_addict i know...finally made it there at 52 years old...I was clean and sober 25 some years..first think I saw was a guy smoking a joint though...knowing I couldn't imbibe, I went to the tattoo shop down the street and got a yin yang tramp stamp. It definitely was a yin yang thing...I was happy to be there, (from Michigan) and had just seen the Chinese people doing Tai Chi in the park, my father who was sick on and off had just gone back into the hospital, was with my best friend since teen years, and a couple of friends who lived there...Got back to Michigan and my dad died 5 days later...It's a yin yang world.☯️
Old episode of "Sanford and Son" .... Lamont : "hey pa , you can't go to this party with me, it's just for brothers and sisters" . Fred : "I can go with you, I'll hang-out with the Mamas and the Papas" . Almost 50 years later, I still smile when I think of that (LMAO , I was 14 or so). You guys are the original !! (in exposing great old, and VERY old music, to new generations that would not have heard it all otherwise).
Yes! Similar sounding favorites of mine are two by The 5th Dimension- “Go Where You Wanna Go” (1967) and “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In”(1969). “Wedding Bell Blues” (1969) was another popular hit by them that was good too.
The name Mamas and Papas came from the Hell's Angels. They were a fantastic group in the 60s. Great Harmony. California, particularly during that time, was the place to be.
You went full hippie on us, with the arms swaying in the air! You've got to hear (Mama) Cass Eliot singing lead or on one her songs. She had that gorgeous, pure voice like Whitney Houston and Karen Carpenter.
He does go all hippie, swaying dancing arms in the air. It would make sense that a band named “The Mamas and the Papas” would make any person curious just as he is...
Every reaction video I watched on this song has said "and I pretend to pray? what does that mean?" Its quite simple. It is cold outside , they have no money so they go to a church to "pretend to pray" so they can get warm. Hippies . Love and peace man. Money didnt matter....until it did. Love ur reaction videos. U kids are getting schooled old school.
Corinne McKay according to pretty much every source I’ve seen it’s ‘pretend’. Wikipedia says ‘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.’ The source for that claim being this ruclips.net/video/lZVay1RYazI/видео.html video.
This is a legendary 60s band. They didn't last very long, but that was because of all the drama and scandal going on behind the scenes. Check out Monday, Monday, another great song.

"California Dreamin'" is a song written by John Phillips and Michelle Phillips and was first recorded by Barry McGuire. However, the best-known version is by the Mamas and the Papas, who sang backup on the original version and released it as a single in 1965.
I moved from Massachusetts to L.A. when I was 24 and moved back when I was 48. California is my true home, and this song always makes me feel sentimental.
OMG!! “The cast of Scoob-doo.....”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I never ever thought that until you just said it that was brilliant and I’ve listen to this song since I was a kid born in 1970...literally BELLY LAUGHED with you!! Thank u !!!!
Back in the day, most young people wanted to come to CA. Songs about San Jose, San Francisco, Salinas and Hollywood lured them in. Sunset Blvd and Hollywood Blvd was packed with young people looking for music and/or drugs. Everyone had long hair and bought their bell-bottom blue jeans at the nonconformist uniform shop. Now days, like a rolling stone, more people are leaving and talking about leaving than ever before. Times they are a changing. .Group. 5th Dimension Song: Aquarius It captures the time.
Remember that song? "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair, if you are going to San Francisco, you're sure to find some lovely people there", something like that?
Every time I watch this guy I feel like it’s my first time too. Dude is a portal to our past. A living time machine and a big part of the answer. We need to go with this.

The tallest fellow used to be in The Journeymen, but he met Michelle and broke that up to start The New Journeymen. In the beginning it was him, Scott McKenzie and Dick Weissman. Dick Weissman is one that is still alive in 2020. Scott McKenzie did "San Francisco" (wear flowers in your hair) Dick Weissman taught in colleges and has written a lot of books about music.
Many people looked and dressed like them in the 60s...the era of peace and love....and you have to wonder what kids several decades from now will think about the way people dress now....think about it for a minute....lol. Great that you try a big range of music. Momma Cass died at a young age...sad because she could sing. That’s the kind of music many people listened to on our AM radios...back then
Adirondack Pixie Simply put... It's the ignorance inside them. They don't have the ability to understand, or even the clarity of pure beauty comes in all forms. I feel truly sad for imagine all they've missed in their boxed in minds. 🙏 for them. 🤷♀️
leeuwin1962 what the hell? There are many people who are vile and Lizzo is not one of them by any stretch of the imagination. You may not like how free she is but that doesn’t make her a bad person.
I wish I would have seen this when everyone else did!! First I agree with everyone else. You're a class act for respecting Mama Cass, and you don't even know it...and idk about anyone else, but this is one of those songs I'll never forget hearing for the first time. I was just a kid, but it blew my mind. Keep up the great work as always!! 🕊️💖
"I Saw Her Again" by this band has some of the most incredible harmony vocals ever put on a record,a must listen, at very high volume. The song is about love affairs goin' on between the band members, before similar things happened in Heart and Fleetwood Mac. Everyone out there should check it out!
Their story is crazy, Michelle was married to John and sleeping with Denny, while Cass asked Denny to marry her and was denied. Then John's story went really dark in later years.
This song was from ‘67ish, and at the time, teens from across the country wanted to go to Cali. A lot of college drop outs as well. They all went to San Francisco to Haight-ashbury area. There were MANY songs written about this phenomena. A lot of these kids were run always who later became drug addicts and pan handlers after hitch hiking all the way there! But this was from the “Flower Children” period, you know, Peace and Love..........BTW, Scooby and his friends were designed to look like the Mamas and Papas!!!!!
It's so wholesome and makes me so happy seeing y'all being open to different times and cultures, and vibing with these oldies and classic rock and not just shrugging off your shoulder. Good music is good music, no matter the genre. Love it
You HAVE to listen to A piece of my heart by Janis Joplin! She is the 60s greatest artists. She Died too soon but her music is unbelievable and will always be the greatest!
@@terrimobley6067 Shut the fuck up then. Not your cup of tea? Fine. But DO NOT trash somebody for expressing themselves through song in a way you deem 'trash'.
I'll give him an A for admitting he never heard this song before, even tho he's about 60 years behind the times. One of the top 10 greatest rock songs of all time.
These young men's personalities are almost perfect. A reflection of their great parents.They did a great job raising you boys,they have to be extremely proud
You should check out Mama Cass (second left) as they start to perform, she has some awesome songs and she was the star of the group - Make Your own Kind of Music is just awesome
I love your videos! It's so funny to watch 21 one year olds discovering these songs. Plus it's also really cool to see how you appreciate so many different styles. Very smart.
A huge favorite of mine! This is yet another CLASSIC! 😁👍 The Mama's and the Papa's were another fine group. They were a folk group and many had quirky names back then. A GREAT one for singing all parts at the TOP of your lungs! There were LOTS of great groups and bands before you were born Sweetheart. You haven't even scratched the surface please, and California Dreamin was released in December 8, 1965.and one of my 45s (small hard vinyl.) Hippie music really, but still GREAT! 😁👍
Ok I know the dance moves are easy to make fun of and a such a stereotype but when you hear the music they were dancing to....that's the exact right moves to make 😂

No making fun of Mama Cass. She had the voice of an angel. They could harmonize like they were born to do it. ❤️

@@frankiebowie6174 BIG fan of Cass' voice. It's strong, soulful and (Dream A Little...) so passionate!
Nobody could sing with more heart than her.

Mamas and papas were perfection. Plain and simple. Fabulous, strong, beautiful powerful voices! .....Perfection
Totally agree all that’s they needed 4 amazing voices and guitar 🎸
Momma Cass. What a voice.
Love the harmony
My mother loved her. Always talked about her vocals and how incredible she was. Even said for a big girl she was really pretty. Mom was right (she passed in 96)
She blows over Michelle.
I don't care what anyone says, I think Cass Elliot was beautiful.
When I am far away from you my baby whisperer a little prayer for me my baby...” This is dedicated to the one I love”.
I've always been able to see the beauty in all types of people. More than I can see it in myself even. I also think she was very lovely.
And it's my opinion that Cass had the best voice of them all.
sibkiss2009 I love that song and I wonder was it made about Vietnam, American soldiers away from their loved ones. ❤️
Mama Cass was a queen and an angel.
If you want to hear Mama Cass almost solo: "Dream A Little Dream"
“Dream A Little Dream” please!!!!
Just today I was singing it.
"The cast of Scooby-Doo." I'm a Boomer, but I admit that's funny!
Me too and that was FUNNY!
Truly funny. Bless his heart he does not realize this from the 60’s
That shit is FUNNY 🤣😂

Mama Cass was in an episode of Scooby-Doo (at the candy factory) ruclips.net/video/4_819eIFeIA/видео.html

Typical black youth - comparing peoples' looks to cartoon characters, etc. They do it constantly.
The Scooby Doo show began during 1969. Scooby Doo looks like THEM, not the other way around. This song is from 1965.
🙋🏾♀️ FACTS!!! Thanks 4 correcting me cause I thought Scooby came out in 1967!!😉
Scooby-Doo was great !!!😁😊❤💕🤣
The Mamas & the Papas were from the 60's, in the middle of the hippie culture. They were amazing.
The M& Ps were ACCTUALLY on an episode of Scooby doo as animated versions of themselves LOOK FOR IT!!!!!!
No, I think it was just Mama Cass when she bought a candy factory.
They sure were a classic episode.
They look like the cast of Scooby Doo because they're from the same time period that was the look.
I remember the episode with Mama Cass. It sticks out just like the Harlem Globetrotters episode.
When you started dancing around with your arms waving free, I thought, "this guy really gets it!" He totally gets the hippie vibe. He would fit into San Francisco's Haight Ashbury scene like a hand in a glove..

I love "It's Getting Better"
Lots of the groups formed in the '60s were made up of people who studied music--that's why you'll hear some incredible harmonies and arrangements.
There's some beautiful music out there if you open yourself up to it. I really like this song.
And they enunciated the words. That's my biggest pet peeve of today's vocals. So many times I'm guessing just what they're singing.
True. Another group of this milieu is The Association. One of their most popular songs was "Cherish." I really liked their song called "Windy."
Every reaction video I watched on this song has said "and I pretend to pray? what does that mean?" Its quite simple. It is cold outside , they have no money so they go to a church to "pretend to pray" so they can get warm. Hippies . Love and peace man. Money didnt matter....until it did.

Mmmm yes. And Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's version of You've Got A Friend. And especially Donny Hathaway's Someday We'll All Be Free.
One of the most beautiful romantic songs of all time and Roberta's voice is flawless
Agree! Very moving song❤
Many people looked and dressed like them in the 60s...the era of peace and love....and you have to wonder what kids several decades from now will think about the way people dress now....think about it for a minute....lol. Great that you try a big range of music. Momma Cass died at a young age...sad because she could sing. That’s the kind of music many people listened to on our AM radios...back then
Mama Cass was ruthlessly made fun of due to her weight. In some ways, that hasn’t changed...Ann Wilson from Heart and Lizzo now.....
Yup... Fat men are sweet, jolly, strong and funny and fat women are dirty, lazy hogs... 😡
Been feeling and hearing that crap ALL my life.
Pastor Of Muppets and people who call Patti Smith ugly....one of the kindest most talented women in rock ever....
Adirondack Pixie Simply put... It's the ignorance inside them. They don't have the ability to understand, or even the clarity of pure beauty comes in all forms. I feel truly sad for imagine all they've missed in their boxed in minds. 🙏 for them. 🤷♀️
@laura kali - Carnie Wilson of Wilson Phillips too...
leeuwin1962 what the hell? There are many people who are vile and Lizzo is not one of them by any stretch of the imagination. You may not like how free she is but that doesn’t make her a bad person.
They ask Michelle what she thought when she looked in a mirror, she replied, Lucky.
I wish I would have seen this when everyone else did!! First I agree with everyone else. You're a class act for respecting Mama Cass, and you don't even know it...and idk about anyone else, but this is one of those songs I'll never forget hearing for the first time. I was just a kid, but it blew my mind. Keep up the great work as always!! 🕊️💖
"I Saw Her Again" by this band has some of the most incredible harmony vocals ever put on a record,a must listen, at very high volume. The song is about love affairs goin' on between the band members, before similar things happened in Heart and Fleetwood Mac. Everyone out there should check it out!
If you liked this you should listen to Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit.
Truth! I can't thumbsup this comment enough!!!
Great suggestion!
To Sir, With Love is a great song too.
White Rabbit is an awesome choice!!
oooo, yes, yes please!!!
Their story is crazy, Michelle was married to John and sleeping with Denny, while Cass asked Denny to marry her and was denied. Then John's story went really dark in later years.
This song was from ‘67ish, and at the time, teens from across the country wanted to go to Cali. A lot of college drop outs as well. They all went to San Francisco to Haight-ashbury area. There were MANY songs written about this phenomena. A lot of these kids were run always who later became drug addicts and pan handlers after hitch hiking all the way there! But this was from the “Flower Children” period, you know, Peace and Love..........BTW, Scooby and his friends were designed to look like the Mamas and Papas!!!!!
I'm watching your reaction to this again after you initially posted it two years ago. Still love it! 😊❤
One of the most popular groups of the 60s.
It's so wholesome and makes me so happy seeing y'all being open to different times and cultures, and vibing with these oldies and classic rock and not just shrugging off your shoulder. Good music is good music, no matter the genre. Love it
Young man, you have me smiling the entire song. You really got it goin on!
California Dreaming is my JAM! I have always loved this song. Glad he appreciates it 🙂
Thx for popping this old band in the forefront...they popped out many hits back in the day.
You HAVE to listen to A piece of my heart by Janis Joplin!
She is the 60s greatest artists. She Died too soon but her music is unbelievable and will always be the greatest!
And Ball and Chain at the Monterey Pop Festival.
She screams. Not the 60s I like. Give me harmony and ballads and musical instruments... The drugged up wasted screaming was not music
@@terrimobley6067 Shut the fuck up then. Not your cup of tea? Fine. But DO NOT trash somebody for expressing themselves through song in a way you deem 'trash'.
Janis Joplin is a must, must “Piece of my Heart”!!!
Summer time
I'll give him an A for admitting he never heard this song before, even tho he's about 60 years behind the times. One of the top 10 greatest rock songs of all time.
I’m so glad I found your channel 😃 I love that young people today are discovering and enjoying the oldies.
Oh Tim, you are so funny and so adorable! Bring me lots of joy as you react to music and let us enjoy it with you!
Mamas and Papas had some of the best harmonies in history.
Suggestion: "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel. Try it.
THIS. PLEASE. Song writing at its finest.
Would love to see this reviewed!
For real. The Boxer is amazing! Love Simon and Garfunkel.
Hell yes!!!
The only band in the 60s that people remember the women more than the men.😁
These young men's personalities are almost perfect. A reflection of their great parents.They did a great job raising you boys,they have to be extremely proud
This was one of my most favorite songs. I’m so glad ur listening to this beautiful song.
I'd like to see your reaction to Roberta Flack's, Killing me Softly. Even the Fugees version is excellent.
Don't love the Fugee's cover compared to Ms. Flack, but...it has its merits. At least it's Lauryn Hill.
Yes please, Roberta Flack!
omg that would be amazing!
Then Al B Sure
Thank you for appreciating some a classic song. It was written in 1965 and it's one of my all time favorites.
This is my favorite song by them. I love that you are open to many different types of music and I love to see your reaction!!
Oh hell YEAH! The harmonies and sheer production value is legendary! More M&P's!
Another great definitive California song: "Ventura Highway" by America. Would love to see your reaction.
Amen! One of my favs!
Sister Golden Hair by America rocks also!
👍
America - another underated and all but forgotten group.
My favorite America song! ❤️
OMG yes............I love the opening guitar solo.
You should check out Mama Cass (second left) as they start to perform, she has some awesome songs and she was the star of the group - Make Your own Kind of Music is just awesome
I love your videos! It's so funny to watch 21 one year olds discovering these songs. Plus it's also really cool to see how you appreciate so many different styles. Very smart.
OMG! One of my favorite reactions to a song! LMAO-Love it! ❤️🙏
One of the most haunting songs ever recorded. Nice to see it's still got some power to it.
It is so refreshing to have the music of my generation still growing and captivating people - it’s timeless - I love this channel- thank you
Iconic vocals of Mama Cass Elliot make this song so powerful. She had perfect pitch
One guitar and four voices from heaven. Awesome.
This was released in 1965. React to "This is Dedicated to the One I love". Mamas and Papas were HUGE in the mid to late 60's.
A huge favorite of mine! This is yet another CLASSIC! 😁👍
The Mama's and the Papa's were another fine group.
They were a folk group and many had quirky names back then.
A GREAT one for singing all parts at the TOP of your lungs!
There were LOTS of great groups and bands before you were born Sweetheart. You haven't even scratched the surface please, and California Dreamin was released in December 8, 1965.and one of my 45s (small hard vinyl.)
Hippie music really, but still GREAT! 😁👍
There’s actually a Scooby doo episode where they meet Mama Cass Elliot.
Nancy Prevost it’s probably here on RUclips! 😆
Yeah!!! I saw it!!!!
There's what? I'll have to look for it.
I gotta see that
Ok I know the dance moves are easy to make fun of and a such a stereotype but when you hear the music they were dancing to....that's the exact right moves to make 😂
The best song ever. Always had been my favourite song . You guys have so many treats in store
