Genesis - Mama (album version with lyrics)

[intruderofficial]

mama is God

[nikatin622]

any1 here from gta 4? funny song.

[HardRockRecords]

people tend to pass by this album all the time, they say that this album was there worst ......i would disagree ..... this song is amazing and the album is awesome

[StasherDragon]

First heard this song on a David Copperfield special. Thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS POST!!! Been looking for this song for years.

[jdf360pwn]

thank you gta 4 for showing me this I wish the had other Phil Collins or genisis songs in the game

[Frostbait]

i like the "laughing part"

HAHAH

HAHAH oWW

[SirSchranzALot]

My memories brought me here, not GTA4.

[Xaymaicana]

GTA brought me here. I won't front.

[bluedragon281]

way before GTA4. the best singer of all time IMO Phil Collins!! love Genesis(:

[yeboj]

@bluedragon281 i will disagree with you here.... freddie mercury and jeff lynne will always be the greatest..with all my respect...good song.

[anoop55]

He is killing us by playing Mama, where can one go for such wonderful music, blessed are the people who are listening to this music.....

[MEgO2E]

ok...the impression i'm getting from this song is that phil collins' mother is abusive and it turns him on..??

[nazcarmaster]

@MEgO2E Nope. It's about a whore who this teen sap has a mother bond with.

[GarGet1]

@mr5exywolf mama is slang for prostitute

[97iliketrains]

the synths make the song so much more moving

[Leedime3]

GTA 4

[HypersonicMonkeyBoy]

3:49 Now listen to me, mama, mama, mama!! You're taking away my last chance. Don't take it away!! Can you feel my heart!!!! So beast.

[liyalovesyou1998]

my dance teacher is making us (group) dance to this song in front of the school.... personally i love the song but... yeah.....

[CarolineClaudie]

Genialne :)

[GODrules555]

EYE can SEE you mamma, but EYE do not know if Genesis can! The Heat and the Steam of the City. HA HA AWE! HA HA AWE! Can't you SEE ME mamma, can't you feel my heart in your hand! HA HA AWE! HA HA AWE! MY EYES THEY ARE BURNING MAMMA! NOW EYEYEYEY!!! Its the heat and the steam of the CITY! Can Genesis understand?! HA HA AWE! HA HA AWE! "EYE" 5

[AussieImitator]

Only the English could get away with making a song about a young guy being obsessed with an aging prostitute. lol.

[Luc45ld]

Thumbs up if you found this song in Liberty rock radio 97.8 of GTA4

[ufofan1980]

This song brings back memories of being drunk and having my female friend, NOT my girlfriend Mariyana giving my mates and I a lap dance at a party last year. She was a bit embarrased when she saw the video the next day. Let's just say that she didn't like what she saw, but us guys loved what we saw. :) To this day we taunt and tease her about that night, and all she can do is laugh now. Even after we go on to college we will remind her of her shenanigans that night.

[QpangDontSuck]

@ufofan1980 that has nothing to do with that song so i don't like your "thing".

[ufofan1980]

@QpangDontSuck Oh, I forgot to mention that this was the song she gave us the lap dance to. Guess I missed an important detail and wrote what seemed like a random story about a drunken friend giving a lap dance. Thanks for pointing that out.

[kingkenny1981]

FUCKIN BRILLIANT RECORD !!!!!!!!!

[QpangDontSuck]

this is a very cool song.

greetings from somwhere, europe, earth.

[str8sick]

I love driving to this

[copsondonuts]

i think music was more creative years ago, just wasnt as many distractions as today. we have computers, video games, 589008963974358-09 channels to watch etc.

[matacanis97]

I´m the visit 140000 lol

[sommif]

Oh shag how I love this tune. Warps me back to all the great stuff.

[epoch1337]

Thanks to all the haters of this awesome song for making the 'likes' bar look like a joint. <3 u

[Hellzno1000]

@epoch1337 thats a strange joint.

[TimGelsenkirchen]

Geschichte - die 80er - ein Zeitgefühl ...Gänsehaut

Ich durfte daran teilhaben.

Vieles was danach kam war Dreck.

[TheGamer1468]

@TimGelsenkirchen GERMAN

[anoop55]

in the music world... Genesis is the absolute and the rest are merely parts...

[saicomark]

Can't you see me here, mama, Mama, mama, mama, please? Can't you feel my heart? Can't you feel my heart? Can't you feel my heart, ooh? Now listen to me, mama Mama, mama You're taking away my last chance Don't take it away ! Can't you feel my heart?

[codec98]

[flowermitch]

@codec98 hahaha!!

[stylemasterrr]

thumbs up if gtv 4 brought you here

[AiRMo95]

I am 1 day old and i hate all the new music!! Old music rocks!!! but still the main point of this post is that i`m young and special becasue i like Genesis not Lady Gaga!

[lddevo88]

I just got this on vinyl! Its the very first track and it sound excellent!!

[AllCanadiaReject]

Best moment in music history is when the drums finally kick in. It just works so well with the lyrics he's singing at that point and the sort of desperation in his voice.

[TheOcta24]

Grand Theft Auto IV

[SuperPoopyCumSwell69]

Holy shit! I thought this had something to do with Phil's mother. I actually cried to this song cuz for some reason it reminds me of my own personal shit. But when I heard him say 'I won't hurt you mama, but it's getting so hard." I totally just got the actual messege xD God I feel stupid lmfao

[TheNonstopWrestling]

I´m 14 and i know it from Magnum P.I.! I love those old TV and this song.awesome!

[Cotygeek]

The part when he screams "my heart" is one of the most primal outbursts I've ever heard in music.

[HeyAWoodElf]

i heard this in gta 4 and it gives me nostalgi. love that tune

[Patriot1389]

Cant`t you see me here,mama,mama,mama please!!

EPIC STUFF!!

He`s in big pain!

[spyderj1999]

@Patriot1389 DON'T GO!!!!! That says it all.

[spyderj1999]

@Patriot1389 DON'T GO!!!!! That says it all.

[ShefMastaRyan]

i usually listen to heavy metal but i love this dudes voice

[2coolsaif]

I dont know why but this tune reminds me of Zombies !

[Scoutman3100]

off of the best album probably by genesis at least from their 80's stuff

[DSabbah]

This is actually my favorite album of theirs. Duke is good, too. The tunes off Abacab- seriously good music.

[2653210]

God bless Genesis.

[DB1296]

I think this is genisis' best song, with the laugh. Its so good, and i love his voice when he just lets it out towards the end of the song. but great song and voice though(: thumbs up if you agree. ^_^

[lazomia1]

voleo bih da upoznam ovoga sto je stisnuo NOLIKE da ga pitam otkuda on ovde!?!?!

[WillisFilms1]

This song inspired me to make a whole animated video xD you can find it on my channel, the title is... well... "GENESIS" and I based the music off of this song. Other than that, has nothing to do with this incredible band.

[k0milonewolf]

the best voice i ever heard !

[WertyJ]

Good stuff, love it.

[vickeyah12]

He's talkin' 'bout the whores of Babylon & their sex magic...

[shamachk]

PHIL COLLINS - YOU ROCK!!! PERIOD.

[loborappa10]

rulezão



[esauerkraut]

Saw Genesis in Hartford, CT on this tour...guess what they led off with? Cool song that was 100% better live and loud....one of the best shows I've seen.

[vartjo3]

damn this is good!!!!!!!!!!

[vartjo3]

damn this song is good

how they can play so good?

[AntonioLereno]

@vartjo3 it's magic my friend... eheheh... i mean, it's Genesis :))

[MASR4]

Why is this so creepy?

[AntonioLereno]

@MASR4 i know what you mean... the synth stuff at the beginning... it's probably what Genesis do best, specially with Tony Banks on the keyboards :)

[AntonioLereno]

@MASR4 it's music that makes people think a little bit . Cheers :)

[kcstepp92]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Says it all. This song is so classic

[dumberer67]

oh man i was like in 10 th grade when this came out.me and my stoner bud would get wasted and listen to this over and over!! now im old and drug free. damn i miss those times.

[MrMusicman456]

This is the first post-Hackett Genesis song that I kinda like. Its got a nice dark feel to it

[scooby1ize]

every time i play this, i have to play it again!

[MyoJoZX]

Thank you gta4

[toyotasupramaster]

Thank God my father owns over 1300 disks of awesome music, and Genesis is one of them

[dumberer67]

@toyotasupramaster wow thats cool !! you are very lucky. i can hardly imagine the great treasures in that freakin collection

[toyotasupramaster]

@dumberer67 Anything, such as Queen and Led Zeppelin, is there. Awesome music only. Most are in the 70s and 80s.

[dumberer67]

@toyotasupramaster though i like alot of different music 70's and early 80's will never get old. they were the giants of rock!!!

[AntonioLereno]

@toyotasupramaster i guess you're right!

theres also some good neo-prog bands nowadays, specially bands from the "Inside Out Music" label

[aga3736]

feels though like Phil Collins went insane singing this track ...

[anakina1]

It is just one cool song.

[35april]

Been listening to this since I was a couple of feet tall thanks to my father. It still sends shivers down my spine!

[scooby1ize]

surely phils best ever vocal performance!

[spyderj1999]

@scooby1ize YESSS!!!!!!

[SaIadXD]

@Cg19051990 Think before you write. They played this at my grandma's funeral, seeing comments like yours make me feel even worse

[DinsdalePiranha67]

This is probably my favorite Genesis album after Peter Gabriel's departure, and the band's last gasp as a prog-rock band.

[LordLethonai]

Modern music has kind of dropped to shit. The only good music that I can find these days are smaller names, or sidestream names, maybe the occasional mainstream band or name.

The classics. That's where it's at, and this song is such a great example.

[Betachiken]

i lost this cd =(

[jthuman65]

@Betachiken Don't feel bad. My ex sold my album...

[ZJhontu1]

10 monkeys said dey Mama don't luv dem...

[kasatkin1000]

liberty rock radio forever. plays the best classic rock from gta 4

[19719801]

For my mother...i never forgot you, you are always into my heart...

[ChildOfTheKoRn90]

i'm 15 years old, and i hate the new stuff...

genesis is the proof that the old music is much better than the new, like lady gaga

(sorry about my grammar, i'm german ^.^)

[Mininigther]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 I agree with you

[Betachiken]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 grammar is pretty good to me

[MeYouAndNico]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 good boy /pat

[zaybis]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 du bist schwul

[ChildOfTheKoRn90]

@zaybis

wieso ??

[zaybis]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 nur spaß

[StarSeeker94]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 I love to see that I'm not the only one who thinks new music is shit. I wonder when the World will realize what they are listening to.

[toyotasupramaster]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 you wrote very well, but you didn't use Capital Letters (lol jk)

[SaikolaM]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90

Wow I'm german, too and I don't like the new music, too (I'm 14) Schon bisschen komisch finde ich, meine freundinen hoeren nur Bruno Mars, Beyonce & Co

[kristapuciitis]

@SaikolaM omg in my school rock isn't dead :D There still metal is popular :D

[jibarra116]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 as long as there people like you in this world i think we'll be ok thank you =) lol

[dumberer67]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 u live in germany cool !! well g'day mate lets throw another shrimp on the barbie !!

[Giusep80]

@dumberer67 classic!!!



[AntonioLereno]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 it's the younger generation that must bring the old music again and show the world that the flame is still alive! GENESIS... what a band!!! i'm glad you like them, i mean, it's so good to see a guy like you talking about Genesis. You should listen to their stuff from the Peter Gabriel period, it's more diverse and more complex, but beautiful music, believe me! Phil Collins with Genesis is also very good! ^_^

cheers from Lisbon, Portugal :)

[Killz0mbies]

@AntonioLereno I'm 14, it's harder to revive the old shit than you'd think. I'm trying my best, and will keep trying my best. This music MUST live on. I'll be damned if it dies.

[AntonioLereno]

@Killz0mbies if you're a musician like me, it's easier to understand musical language and make it happen. If you listen to Dream Theater, Transatlantic, The Flower Kings and the new stuff, it's a good beginning for understanding the past. Prog-rock is like classic music, it lives on and on. Good music never dies :-)

[ktmggg]

@Killz0mbies You give me hope for the future!

[TheMrRedy]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 I'm 16 and Austrian... and have the fuckin' same opinion!!

[DiddyTheDuck2]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 I'm 16, from Germany as well, and I think you shouldn't think of all of the modern music

just as Lady Gaga etc. There is some good stuff today, too ;)

[ChildOfTheKoRn90]

@DiddyTheDuck2

Yes, you're right, but I think the old music is much better than the new :)

i don't mean the modern music is just bad, but come on, do you think justin bieber is better than michael jackson?? ;D

[DiddyTheDuck2]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 Not really, but do you know why you think that old music has always been better than todays music?

Because only the good music "survived".

[molarmama5]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90

Now that is amusing, on two counts!

[molarmama5]

@DiddyTheDuck2

Doko? Nihongo for where?

[DiddyTheDuck2]

@molarmama5 I have no idea what you just said.

[molarmama5]

@DiddyTheDuck2

Doko = where in Japanese.

[fence2life]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 even back in the days there was bad music,its just that the best music survived the test of time,there is way more quality music these days then before,but you just have to know where to look,its not on radio anymore or tv.

[jackobcooper]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 I think I've seen you post on other 80s music videos :P

[RoyWijngaarde1996]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 Totaly agree!

[neutralcartman2]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 Well said Freund.

[Aerien]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 so schlecht ist deine Grammatik nicht mal, nur "I" (ich) wird immer groß geschrieben. Sonst stimmts alles. :)

[Talah654]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 your english isn't as bad as you hink ^^ , i'm german, too. you're right with your opinion genesis and phil cllins ARE better than lady gaga and all the other "musicians"

[lddevo88]

@ChildOfTheKoRn90 At least you have an excuse for poor grammar! :P

[MrChannelPromo]

Respond to this video... You're right, I'm 18 and most of my friends listen to shit new music. Don't worry your grammar is near perfect.

[MrChannelPromo]

Respond to this video... You're right, I'm 18 and most of my friends listen to shit new music. Don't worry your grammar is near perfect.

[GORSKIED]

From a 15 year old's perspective, this is The best song on the album, and one of my personal favorites. And while That's all and Illegal Alien were both more commercially successful and are both respectable songs (at least That's all is) This song's driving beat and intensity give me chills

[illegalalien2]

This Song is not Pop, but even not normal Rocksong, its even a Longtrack...

But This Song is one Genesis Best Tracks ever,Great Music doesnt need Categories like Prog or Pop, There is just the only Categorie called "Genesis" :)

[IKUIFGLO]

No, I won't hurt you mama, I'm just going to knock the friggen crap outta ya. It's the heat/steams fault mama, makes me schizo for you baby.....

[tojushiro]

Freud would have a field day with this song.

[mrbug825]

I can see you MaMa, so go put some clothes on. This Album is a perfect 10.

[CG19051990]

10 people have lost their mama

[hobofett12]

@CG19051990 your definatley getting thumbed down asshole

[Summon256]

@hobofett12 ...HAHA Oh Look that one of them HAHA ^_^

[lancsy500]

Enjoy your retirement Phil!!!

[kaethe101]

...in beloved memory... 11

[tojushiro]

@4eyedCyclopes ...the irony here is that no one realized he's joking.

[MageAron]

10 people don't have a mama

[xxxrunescapepkerxxx]

@MageAron actually he made this song because he doesn't like his mama...

[bongoloid1]

@xxxrunescapepkerxxx

Lolwut? This song is about a hooker.

[khatpandwa]

Very Nice

[Medivh1989]

Nothing else to add, since the song says about oneself soo much, that I dont need to even comment it ;)

[MrJohnnyParson]

cunt, you feel my heart?

[bearteeth8]

my cat jumped up on the desk when he heard this song, so even my cat likes this song

[WolfeCoBen]

10 people were smacked by their Mama

[gta4ishardcore]

@WolfeCoBen you mean 10 peoples mama's left?

[MrJohnnyParson]

Epic garbage to say the least.

[prestescorrea]

Incrível! Genesis - Mama!

[parlet]

Epic.

[thegreeneyeseesyou]

Awesome song! The thing I want to know is where in the world is the actual music video from the 80's ? I remember seeing then and it was pretty damn creepy:)

[stopthesoftkill]

thumbs up if you wish the 10 million twats who also use the internet and ruin it for everyone else would just drop dead.

[MrNielsSorensen]

Phil banging his drums, me the girls on a school trip. No wonder I love this song.

[TamikoShirano]

Thumbs up if you got to this song because you know your music.

[Possesssed666]

Im shocked that this hasn't been blocked for copyright yet, all the better. Thanks for the post

[gio73vanna]

@Possesssed666 Shhhh......not so loud:-P

[thorboy71]

thumbs up if you love phil collins voice and drumming!

[ADarkerBreed]

Thumbs up if you got this song from Magnum P.I.

[mandolinroad]

@ADarkerBreed this was in p.i too? i only remember hearing it in miami vice way back in the day.

[ADarkerBreed]

@mandolinroad yeah it was on a really good episode about a kidnapping and some guy trying to "help" Magnum, as well as another episode with Frank Sinatra
