The line started as "No one getting fat except Mama Cass". At the end of the song the line changed to "Everyone getting fat except Mama Cass".

@phila3884 6 дней назад

I think that line was not meant to be taken literally, although there was definitely a double meaning. By "fat" he meant making money, as Cass was the most successful singer of the group early on before they got together.

@shyman99 6 дней назад

I believe they already knew about the line because: 1. It's crystal clear in the song. 2. I thought Amber's acting was not very convincing. It was their way to avoid something considered politically incorrect by pretending they didn't hear it. I'd bet money on it.

The line “and no one’s getting fat except for Mama Cass” ends the first three verses. The final verse changes the line to “Everyone’s getting fat except for Mama Cass.” Fat was a slang term that meant loaded with money.

@mikewingate284 6 дней назад

The line "No one's getting fat except Mama Cass" was really about how she was the only one of them that was making a decent living before she joined the group. She was the missing link for the group. She joined, they changed their name, and the rest is history.

@russallert 6 дней назад

You could do a music history lecture on this song, with all the various musicians mentioned, plus the various locations. I'll try to summarize it as best I can: John Phillips was in a folk band in the early 60s called The Journeymen (which also included Scott McKenzie, later of If You're Going To San Francisco fame), playing the Greenwich Village clubs in New York City. Cass Elliott, who had a musical theatre background, moved to NYC and fell in with the Greenwich Village scene. Denny Doherty and Zal Yanovsky, two Canadians, also moved to the Village. John then married Michelle (Mitchy), who was from LA and added her to his folk band. Denny, Zal and Cass were part of a folk-rock band called The Mugwumps. Other NYC folkies included John Sebastian, Roger McGuinn and Barry McGuire. The Mugwumps were unsuccessful and split up, and Zal Yanovsky and John Sebastian put together The Lovin' Spoonful, who of course became very big. Denny joined John and Michelle's folk group, which became The New Journeymen. Cass was a frequent hanger-on in their circle, and depending on who's telling the story, she was either trying to join The New Journeymen and John kept resisting, or the others wanted her to join and she was resistant. Meanwhile, Roger McGuinn had moved to LA, started The Byrds and had a hit with Mr. Tambourine Man, and Barry McGuire did likewise and had a hit with Eve Of Destruction. Caught up in the new folk-rock craze, John, Michelle and Denny decided to hang out in the Virgin Islands to work up some material, and were soon followed by Cass. They lived (illegally) off of The New Journeymen's American Express card and managed to get some gigs at a club on a street called Creeque Alley. They then made their way to LA, and through Barry McGuire they were signed to producer Lou Adler's label Dunhill, put out California Dreaming, and it took off. Believe me, this is a VERY condensed version of what happened, but it's all covered in the song.

@rickeyjay7164 6 дней назад

Fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

@mrjoepad1 6 дней назад

It's pronounced Creek. It's basically their life story. They mention Mcguinn and McGuire and Sebastian. McGuinn is Roger McQuinn from the birds. McGuire is Barry Mcguire. Sebastian is John Sebastian from the Lovin Spoonful

@phyl1042 6 дней назад

@hankamania back in the day, it was always known on the radio as Creek Alley. It was never pronounced any other way, that I remember. At least in California and Florida, where we lived during that time.

@colibri1 6 дней назад

The line you were wondering about is "No one's getting fat except Mama Cass," and then at the end, "Everyone's getting fat except Mama Cass." John Phillips wrote the song, and it is said that he was jealous that Cass always got all the attention and he was often directly mean to her. She claimed not to have been bothered by the line, but who knows if that's what she really felt? In the early seventies, Cass appeared on a lot of TV shows as a comedic actress, since she had a theatre background, and some shows, like the super-popular "Carol Burnett Show," made her weight a subject of the humor in some sketches, doing things like having an earthquake sound effect when she would take steps and things like that.

@sanzoftatooine 6 дней назад

Michelle Phillips did say in an interview, years after Cass died, that the line did bother her. John was an immense talent but also a real turd.

@DSALV76 6 дней назад

I even remember, as a kid, watching original scooby doo episodes where Mama Cass would show up and help them solve the mystery. She was always eating grapefruit-a nod to the grapefruit-diet fad that ran many years. Personally, I always hoped she had a good sense of humor about the double meanings in this song, and the critical comments in general-she was really the first of them to really connect in the folk/folk-crossover space at that time, and was EXTREMELY well-respected for her talent and musical taste. Many very early folk/rock festivals might not have happened without her support

@straycatttt2766 4 дня назад

There’s a music video for “I Saw Her Again Last Night.” In the video, Cass clearly plays the fool. I got a feeling that John directed her to do so. She went along with the slights and acquiesced to comic relief impositions due to her low self-esteem and desire to go along with the obnoxious professional pressure to go along with the theme rather than object.

@TonyM1961 6 дней назад

In all of the toorah about Cass, people tend to leave out that Michelle Phillips had a very good voice and was very talented herself. She was an "accidental celebrity" though and never was very comfortable in the spotlight during her singing days. She finally got over it and had a fairly good career as an actor

@jennastorm4785 6 дней назад

It's because Michelle's softer voice blended so well with Cass's voice that they almost sounded like one voice. But in the few songs where Michelle had the lead vocal, it was very apparent that she was a talented singer.

John Phillips originally didn’t want Cass Elliot in the group because he felt like she would ruin their image. He wasn’t so nice to her starting out. She didn’t like being called “Mama Cass.” She was the one in the end that actually made them as successful as they were with her amazing voice.

@caretaker158 6 дней назад

ever hear the story of her finally getting sort of accepted? Rumor had it that John said she couldn't perform with them because her range wasn't good enough, he thought her voice too low.... supposedly, while "greasin' on American Express cards" down in the Islands, Cass was climbing a ladder, or something, and whacked the daylights out of her head on a pipe in the ceiling and voila, after that, could hit the higher notes. Don't know if that's true or not, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things... but it's a cool story. Sure beats the later story about John and his daughter Mackenzie!

In most verses it says No one's getting fat, but Mama Cass. In one, however, it says Everyone's getting fat, but Mama Cass. Getting fat was a slang phrase for making money/getting rich. However, considering that John didn't like Cass, it probably held a double meaning to both be saying she was making money (which was true) and gaining weight.

Some of the lyrics discuss the folk scene in Los Angeles. McGuinn and McGuire are 12-String Guitarist Jim (Roger) McGuinn of The Byrds, and Barry McGuire, or started playing folk clubs as part of a duo known as Barry and Barri, then had a big hit singing Green, Green with the New Christy Minstrels,, and had his biggest hit with Eve of Destruction in 1965. During 1965, Barry McGuire issued another album that featured The Mamas and the Papas on backing vocals, which included a version of Hang on Sloopy, as well as Hide Your Love Away and Yesterday written by the Beatles. Thus, Creeque Alley is about the folk music scene in LA that produced The Mamas and the Papas, Barry McGuire, The Byrds, and others. Great song!

The last part about the American Express card and "Duffy's good vibrations" refers to when they were living/working in the Virgin Islands, specifically St. Thomas. Back in 2009 when I was visiting there, I went to Duffy's (which is a restaurant), not sure if its still open. If I'm not mistaken, that is where the infamous story about Cass getting accidentally hit in the head with a lead pipe and it suddenly improving her voice came from.

Beautiful people and angelic music. No one else is even close.

They had some of the best harmonies you’ll ever hear!

This is Papa John's biographical look at the group's formation. It's hard to believe, but John didn't want Cass in the group at first because of her weight. The lyrics could be construed as mean toward Cass. They even expose her unrequited love for Denny (the other Papa). The Mamas and the Papas were a great band for about two years, but an almost unbelievable amount of internal drama led them to a premature end as a group.

This is one of my favorite songs by them. Thanks for playing it.

Mama Cass was phenomenal. they would not be famous without her. But she would without them

@brada1136 6 дней назад

That's debatable. John Phillips wrote all the songs. She had a couple of solo hits but was not a songwriter so may not have sustained success. Phillips put out many well regarded solo albums but admittedly had less commercial success. I think they helped each other to success. Denny also had a good voice and put out a decent solo album.

Phillips was worried Cass would be offended by the chorus, so played it to the rest of the band first, who fell about laughing and said Cass would love the song and she did!

They were heavily into the harmonies and in that sense Cass had the voice that the others played off of🎶🎶🎶

"New Day Coming" is one of Cass Elliott's most underrated singles. It's short but shows off her powerful voice.

The standout sound of the Mamas and the Papas... is their four voice harmonies.

As some of the other comments say here, yes, this is a story about the history of the Mamas and Papas. I believe it's pronounced Creeke Alley. Also, part of the story is about an affair between Michelle and Denny. That's what the line referring to "break up" is all about.

Every time I hear this fantastic song it gets stuck in my head for a week. I'm holding youy guys responsible!

@feminist5641 6 дней назад

This song is loosely the story of how their band formed. Can't go wrong with Mama's and Papa's. There's a behind the music episode that spills the tea on their interpersonal relationships (think Fleetwood Mac!)

Great group and hello guys mama cass later went on her own made a few hits

@TSM-908 6 дней назад

You guys really loved the sound. You know the Mamas and Papas - they are talking about themselves but the lyrics are referencing so many other legendary artists as well, who were all in the game at the same time - loads of name checking, however at 68 years old this was the soundscape of my young life and in those pre internet days getting the information was harder. It was weekend meet up with friends and sharing your new allowance money music purchases and discussing them after hearing them together. This was how everyone learned about other bands and groups and genres. This and weekly music pop magazines, however money was always tight so the group would try to buy different magazines and those were read and shared around. We never allowed our 45’s or albums out of our hands to ensure they would not be scratched or damaged. I loaned my double Living In The Past by Jethro Tull to a friend and he gave me Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cosmos Bicycle Factory. My friend left the first album on his turntable and the sun streaming through his bedroom window caused the circular disk to heat up and become oval shaped enough that the sound was weird - never again!! 🤣🤣

❤❤❤❤ when Barry Maguire first met the mamas and Papas he turned us back and listen to them and he said I can’t believe my eyes in my ears, and that was the name of their first album because he couldn’t believe what came out of their mouths were so great❤❤❤❤

Creeque Alley can be found on the Island of St Thomas in the Caribbean where they stayed for a while when forming up the Mamas & The Papas. I have been there twice and drank a few beers there in their honor at the Pub below where they stayed and where they use to drink. And I will be back again this coming February. Meet me there and I'll buy yall a drink or two....

The look on Ambers face when she finally caught the line about Mama Cass !! I always hated that line!! From Ambers expression I thought she caught the line, Amber it was “And No Ones Getting Fat But Mama Cass” ( or that’s how I’ve always heard it)

@oldiesgeek454 6 дней назад

I thought Amber caught it too, since she suddenly looked a bit upset over it. 😊

FINALLY - A song about the history lesson in early folk/rock music scene in LA & the story of them getting together - all the names in the song are artist that later formed their own groups!! Read & research the lyrics & then go back & listen to this - you will totally understand it so much more!! My fav M&P song!!! Thanks!!!! ps it is CREEK Alley - if you watch the official video - they show all the artist & have a ""family Tree" showing all the groups that were a part of the forming of this group!!!

Oh wow, I was thinking about this song the other day and didn't think you had reacted to it. Awesome!

@RudyMenchaca 6 дней назад

I think she probably had a better voice than the other members

@texadan314 5 дней назад

No one ever said "Mama Michelle." Yet she was just as much a part of the group and had her name in this song.

@Nuerth 6 дней назад

It's fun remembering those early days when folk singers from the Strip were trying to transition from folk into rock ~ they mention "Sebastian" as in John "Sebastian" from the "Loving Spoonful" McGuire as in Barry McGuire & "McGuinn" as in Jim McGuinn from "The Byrds" as well Denny the other Papa besides John Phillips & Michelle

👍 A short lived group under 3 years but so many great songs, great harmonies. Denny Doherty from Canada to me is an underrated singer. Sadly only Michelle is left.
