California Dreaming - The Mamas and The Papas

[artisallthat]

What do bathtubs and pipes have to do with the song? Oh I see, a place to hide people in.

[Dcriver317]

This is a great song.

[peanuts8]

[Feerulace]

I usually don't fall for blondes, but Michelle Philips is super hot.

[transformettes18]

The dancers ruined it -.- lol

[rob061092]

Fast dancing... to the track... Really?

[Cowboyknowhow]

I hated the dancers at first.. but now, I am intrigued by them for some stupid reason....

[Glendale41]

The song is a classic and one of my favourites. Strange video though Dancers dancing in bathtubs lol.

[selenalovesbieber1]

those bathtub dancers are "groovy" LOL i sounded like a trippy hippy :3

[deniwest57]

Man, I miss white go-go boots!!

[at90percent]

It was really groovy how those girls popped out of the tubs when the flute solo started.

[MrBaebel]

What a great video!

Bathtub dancers and shower singers...

I simply can't imagine my cheesy parents listened to this music....it simply can be true....

...or I got to change my mind.....fuckin hell this is....

[greatestgod]

brilliant song, im 23 and i fucking love this song, despite the crazy video

[chibilover4ever]

HEY! I can dance like that! I shoulda been born at that time so I can boogy in a bath tub :D

[DELUXX420]

wierd dancers but good music

[kataastaasangnilalan]

This song reminds me of the G.I.'s who fought the Vietnam War, it was also the year when the Hippies was on it's heights!

[TheRPJ3]

@js774 you obviously wouldn't know a legend, even if she dance-kicked you square in the jaw.

[masterblaster301]

すげえ口パク、マイクから離れすぎやし

[yekdable]

@masterblaster301 ??????

[TheShootTruth10]

I get chills with this song and I am in my 20s

[TheShootTruth10]

my opinion their best performance.

[utahaztec]

"all the leaves are brown..." sounds like skunk weed

[UglySean]

@utahaztec Probably referring to then-modern pollution. Imagine if the song were written for today.

[estripp420]

@utahaztec Fall, i think they were going for fall.

[chivalryalive]

Ha! (I've never this before--) I love it when the dancers pop up from the bath tubs scattered across the set. That's great!

By the way... Some pleasant music and very beautiful lyrics too.

[hentai500129]

Cass Elioth puede que no fuera super hermosa pero tenia una voz de diosa y la gordita tenia lo suyo

[beastiessister1999]

[minigun20]

back when california was an awesome place. now its over run with guedos and pieces of plastic that have organs in them and illegal immigrants, its right behind New Jersey as the shit hole of America now a days

[maximusobitus]

awesome video and even better not vevo

[0black0water0]

i feel sad when i hear the song, i dont know why

[a1inat]

good old black and white, those were the peaceful times

[MecOSX]

that happens in my bathtub too.

[Jazreldedondru]

The bathtub dancers had the worst dancing I have ever seen. They would have gotten chased off the Soul Train dance floor, sorry @ss hippies.

[GlamourHollywood]

I don't know why, but Michelle looks EVIL. She's beautiful, but she looks like a little demon!

Mama Cass the best member! Love her dance mooves!

[Nightwithe]

that woman is a fat cow imo

[892lgy7382]

@Nightwithe and apparently she is also the best, most popular member of the band.

[Gunnerss09]

The jazz flute really works well with the bath tub dancers.

[purselady2]

thanks for that info chrmedbabygirl

[skytree76]

wow, michelle phillips is BEAUTIFUL at @:40

[ianthemonk]

vote if you want to dance like they did in the 60s. Ye man. Groovey

[76reliant]

don't think they are singing this live, veryone's like 10 feet away from the mike and the bridge instrument isn't there...ocourse the bathtub dancers are real....

[stealgamer100]

lol look at the niqquh dancing at 2:02

[ezrael713]

freakn bathubs chicks jus popd up outta nowhere.. then they go into a full body seizure.. man the 70's were dope.

[phuckingkunt]

You see those girls in the bath? THAT is the reason that most "dance" moves are retarded.

I don't dance for this reason. Unless it's dubstep. I normally just nod to music.

[xXC1R0Xx]

them girls in the bathtube are turfin

[purselady2]

so who liked who here) (dont know thier names)

[chrmedbabygirl]

@purselady2 Michelle and John were married. Denny and Cass were with other people. But at one time Cass has asked him to marry her. but nothing ever came of it

[cboquin]

@chrmedbabygirl yep, and then denny and michelle had the affair. hmmh, must have been hard to kepe themselves (group) together.

[tommat00]

@madrazel Well atleast your honest....

[pinosavac]

@madrazel Internet is great place for such brave guy.

[zonkedforlife2]

When will music get good again? Hopefully by 2020 we will get good music with real bands like the Mamas and the Papas back.

[tommat00]

@zonkedforlife2 Sadly itll never happen, this amazing music has had its day. Anyhow do you real want some cant-be-arsed copycat get hold of songs like this? Look what happened when Katy Perry did Stand and Deliver by Adam and the Ants : /

[snappercactus]

@zonkedforlife2 I certainly hope so....I'm sick of the Justin Bieber generation...

[MrFrank440]

I find it interesting how each generation defines talent.

[Krumpklin]

i guess choreography hadnt been invented....

[simplygu]

Cheerleaders dancing in bathtubs. You gotta love it

[PauloFrancaLacerda]

Nice clip. best song.

[Rabarberman]

Michelle is so pretty

[DreamWeavero1]

@madrazel That "fat girl" has a name...ITS Mama Cass Ellioitt

[DreamWeavero1]

@madrazel ....Well....that "fat girl " made a hell of allot more money than you will ever earn...and made music that lasts generations....all you will ever do is become a janitor and be forgotten.

[truvianni]

@DreamWeavero1 and that "fat girl" is even a better dancer than those skinny girls

[atfatw]

@DreamWeavero1  how about you?

[DreamWeavero1]

@atfatw How about me......what?

[thevidal001]

MARAVILHOSOS TEMPOS !

[cunninfras]

one person doesn't like dreaming

[pinosavac]

@cunninfras It is really hard to imagine that person :(

[RETROVISION71]

EXCELENT!!!!!!!!!!

[AM9393]

This is an awesome song :D

at 1:32 anyone else notice how the guy all the way to right is just staring down the girl in the tub next to him? And then the other guy just joins in

[zmaj54]

The bathtubs...everything makes sense now...

[blooddonor70]

@zmaj54 I saw the meaning of life...

[892lgy7382]

In the end, the bathtub dancers are the most memorable part of the video.

[bostongirlsandy]

@892lgy7382 they reminded me of almost every Brazilian tv show I watched when I used ot live there. They all have scantily clad girls dancing lol 

[silverpslm]

man now everytime i hear this song ill have bathtubs on the brain. curse you director

[brittwhitsun]

Love the sixties dancing moves!!!

[purselady2]

mamm CASS always looked the same BEAUTIFULL

[purselady2]

[jschmid]

At 2:00 look whose on the left, its fez!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahahahah lol and at 2:19 shes looking at her dad weirdly. its tainted.

[jschmid]

At 2:00 look whose on the left, its fez!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahahahah lol and at 2:19 shes looking at her dad weirdly. its tainted.

[indianguyish]

Brilliant song but what was with those girls in bathtubs????

[Brook1888]

I lovvveeee Them...I really do...but the dancers in the bathtubs look halfway retarded....

[purselady2]

that guy must be 6 foot 4

[purselady2]

NO ONE CAN DANCE BETTER THAN MAMMA CASS NO BODY!

[BesACB]

The average school kid these days can dance better than the pro's in the sixties.

[plojka1]

What's with the go-go girls popping up from the tubs??

[lyfe1zruff]

i just wanna get high now

[Viviie22]

double chin xD

[892lgy7382]

Again I ask, "Were those bathtub dancers reall NECESSARY?"

[892lgy7382]

@892lgy7382 *really

[hughj34]

Michelle always looked so hot. Even on Knots Landing.

[Dani1love]

the dancers look like their having seisures.... but great song

[WalkerBros4Ever]

Love the way Denny looks fascinated by the girl next to him in the bathtub when she's dancin'!

[TheUnknownGeezer]

Im 20 years old and i love this song. Never gets old. Could listen to it non stop.

[lyfe1zruff]

@TheUnknownGeezer i have it on repeat n im 25

[eliiepeace]

@TheUnknownGeezer Same . I'm 16, and everything I listen to this song, it feels like it's the 60s again .

[TheUnknownGeezer]

@eliiepeace If only it was those times again.

[eliiepeace]

@TheUnknownGeezer It would be perfect .

[thevidal001]

MARAVILHOSO!!!

[fokingaars]

[onenikkione]

[krickett87]

OMG!!! THEY WERE IN THE BATHTUBZ!!! THE WHOLE TIME!!!!

[ConorBass440]

dude that ladys so fuckin fat its the funnyest thing ever i cant take her seriously

[msudl88]

@ConorBass440 First, Mama Cass was one of the great influential singers out of the sixties, The Mamas and the Papas had eleven singles in the "Top 40 singles" and have sold over 100 million records and in 1998 was inducted into the Rock N' Roll hall of fame. Second, your comment was ignorant and disrespectful, Grow up!!

[ConorBass440]

@msudl88 dude john philips had sex with his fuckin daughter bro thay are a fucking joke homie the beach boys fuckin rule

[tvvdo]

@msudl88 if im not mistaken, they were together only for 2 years

[msudl88]

@tvvdo a band can only be together for only months and have a one hit wonder.

[dagunator]

the girl on the left is hot... could be my grandmother, but man she's so hot

[flowerheimer]

Why can I not get the sound to work on my computer

[Protaroth]

...Because dancing in the bathtub makes everything on a winters day a california dream

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

@Protaroth lol it always trips me out how fast the pace and movements were in the dances from the 60s

[hemo1001]

I'm gonna kill justin bieber

[Scipio0]

@hemo1001 don't be creepy..

[SHOCKstarMIKE]

@hemo1001 scipio0 is right...its all fun n games till someone gets hurt.....and hope fully that someone is justim bieber haha

[omar66171]

Wolfsky9: I very much agree with you about the Beach Boys' version being superior, but one has to be fair and allow for 20 years of studio technology. Now, more than 20 years later, we might get an even more impressive version. The original by M's&P's is still great and at that time was even revolutionary!

[SHOCKstarMIKE]

idk....i just cant decide which is better the beatles or them.....all i know is the words california dreamin in the song have to sung intense...and they both do it well

[Wolfsky9]

@SHOCKstarMIKE Uh sir, I believe you mean, The Beach Boys & their 1986 Tribute version! Hands-down, it's far superior, both musically & vocally. Add, Roger McGiunn, Hal Blaine, Tom Scott, & Carl's incredible vocal arrangement, & frankly, their is no comparison. And I know: i remember this --from Spring of '66; it is good, but nothing compared to The Beach Boys version. Wolfsky9

[SHOCKstarMIKE]

Respond to this video... 

[SHOCKstarMIKE]

@Wolfsky9 well......i think you read my message wrong haha....thats not what i ment at all haha i ment that i like em both and the fact that the mama and papas have two girls creates a different sound that too is very enjoyable but nevertheless a different sound....weather to make up my mind on which is best i find difficult so i remain on the fence and since i need not choose i stay able to enjoy them both to thier full capacity........sir......

-SHOCKSTAR

[fhung]

groovy dancers man

[Mellsa7]

awesome song. I love oldie's

[spyguy122]

The guy holding the guitar is he from M.A.S.H? by anychance?

[PIRATESOFTHEC3]

@spyguy122 Are you being serious...?

[spyguy122]

@PIRATESOFTHEC3 look at him carefully. you cant tell me he looks abit like one of the doctors from M.A.S.H

[TheZeqpelin]

hhhaaaaaa... ...if i have lived in those years...

[SuperOMGLOLROFL]

@TheZeqpelin yep it was great age..

[TheZeqpelin]

@SuperOMGLOLROFL if ....... I would use striped shirt, riding a bicycle harley davidson with a beautiful blonde girlfriend ... stop under a tree to take a few shots of whiskey and kiss her on a beautiful autumn afternoon watching the protesters walking around with their banners of love and peace ... if ... if I had lived in those glorious years ...

[regularnick1]

this is a really good song

[ilovemycountryafghan]

Well all i am saying is that why does it have to America to act as another country's savior. In most of the cases the countries, America attacked, have worse humanitarian conditions than they used to have under their dictatorship regime. Anyways helping countries in need is great i am totally agree with you, but when it comes to war, i totally oppose their idea of making countries democrat. Let it be for their people to decide not America. Hope you understood.



[BeachBoysGuy1]

@ilovemycountryafghan And this has WHAT to do with Mamas and the Papas ?

[Juanfire]

this is one great group

[BeachBoysGuy1]

@Juanfire Yes, but did they ever perform LIVE ?

[johnnywalker78]

@BeachBoysGuy1 ; Yes, they did.

Could be that was much before your time.

[BeachBoysGuy1]

@johnnywalker78 Thqanks. I mean, I know they actually did. I was around in that era LOL. However, very few, if ever, did

i see them sing live on TV ...even on the Sullivan Show.

[dalbertsson1]

Awesome!

[USCgold]

hahaha 60s dancing with the wailing arms and hip shakes. awesome!

[ilovemycountryafghan]

i know. I am not saying all Americans. The government itself is corrupted just as any other governments in this beautiful world of ours. What i am saying here is that you ppl should start a revolution against the full of liers government.

[dmxruf]

@ilovemycountryafghan I think the wierd thing is that when people say that America should stay out of other people internal affairs as soon as a disaster hits their country the first nation they turn to for aid is America. If American doesnt give enough aid it gets criticised for not being involved enough. I feel that war is a terrible thing however in dire times it is a necessary evil to oppose an oppresive regime, how else would you oppose a genocidial dictator like in the 40's.

[ilovemycountryafghan]

Listen, i know its true that most of ppl choose war as an answer, but what i am saying here is that why does it have to be Americans to get invovled in other countries internal affairs. That is all i wanna say, other than that, i do not say that all Americans are the same. Ppl like yourself also exist, who, am sure, oppose war.

[mnichols1959]

got to love the 60"s!!

[spooky78]

woaw she is hot..dont ask which one..:D :D

[pktrueno]

muy graciosa como bailaban en esos tiempos. gran cancion y buen grupo.

[ilovemycountryafg]

Beautiful song. I always believed that it is possible for someone to express their (anger, pain, love, or any other type of feeling) through singing. This is one of those songs. Although am not a big fan of Americans, but i love this song to the max. Nice melody and nice music and lyrics. BEAUTIFUL... Americans should focus more on making greats songs like this one as oppose to war or other inhumane things.

[PixieSpells]

@ilovemycountryafg Its not just Americans. ALL people are capable of choosing war as an answer and they do. Don't just blame america.

[Yesss8]

@ilovemycountryafg You're not a big fan of Americans? Seriously? Don't judge all the people of a country by their idiot government. We have many kind, loving people in America.

[mymindourdream]

how a cheerful sound,unforgettable,5 thumbs up !!

[Pdog650]

Respond to this video...  THESE IS REAL MUSIC!!!! PLEASE COME BACK!!!!

[kyusama347]

Lol, 60s dancing XD

[darrinbaker00]

The way Michelle was looking at Denny, John should have known something was up right then and there.
