I have always liked the Mamas and Papas, who were a great band “of their time”, and imo still sound fresh today, but I had no idea what one of my favourite songs of theirs was about before I saw this video. Thought I’d share it with any of the old codgers on here who may not know the story of the song. Well I found it intersting anyway

At 42 I’m not really ‘old’ but I will have a watch of that as I love the M&P. Thanks for posting!

Cheers. I have a feeling I might have this doc on DVD. If it’s the same one, then it’s a good watch.

At a recent pub quiz the Christian names of band members were given and had to name the band. Got this one wrong.

There's even a flimsy Albion connection in Creeque Alley, what with "American Express" being mentioned...

Always fancied singing' Monday, Monday', but have never found a group who wanted to join me in it.

The Mamas & Papas are my favourite American group. Many of their songs have great significance in my life, so I knew what Creeque Alley, was about.
Thank you for posting this, as I loved watching it.

I hadn't clicked on the thread. I was not a fan.

They were just before my time, but as a kid I always adored Monday Monday. Later I realised how brilliant California Dreamin is. Four incredibly talented vocalists in one band, with great songs and unique orchestration. Love them.

I believe that is a reference to when they lived in the Virgin Islands for a few months after they formed and had no money so lived on Michelle’s Amex card!

Me too, quite literally in fact, as I'm currently in a hotel room in San Diego waiting for the team news
