The Shirelles - Mamma Said

[hanfan26]

this song was played when they showed our bloopers and mess ups on our twirling recital

[StevyNice1]

Big Wednesday

[palebluedot4ev]

@ hutdiggity I think musical tastes are entirely subjective; i think there's no objective standard by which to judge music, so I only say that I enjoy a certain type of music, and whoever else can like whatever else. Just sayin.

[gypsy927]

Saw the Shirelles in concert at the county fair, they were older already but still awesome.

[TheGaribay]

I'm thirteen. Music was much better back then. Clothes were much cuter back then. I loved their bathing suits. I wish i lived in that time. :(

[MissTekisha]

im 19 nd im listenin to this beautiful music !! <3

[PostThaMost]

check that hair out! oh i wish i was my age back then

[cigsandalcohol89]

you gotta love 60 s girl groups

[jerlewislover]

this song is adorable i love it ;p

[MzBleu91]

"mama said mama said hey! hey!"

[MzBleu91]

heard this from the movie "Gifted Hands:The Ben Carson Story" had to come listen to it ^.^

wish it was longer :/

[rooshrash]

@MzBleu91 me too .. i love this movie .. so motivating .. so inspiring ... also this song is so optimistic :)

[Finsandchrome100]

The Shirelles were the perfect girl group, eacg voive distinctive, and in their early days 60-63, they had great songs. So sad that Micki died so young - on mine abd Shirley's birthday (June 10th). Doris died about 10 years ago of breast cancer. Perfect!

[scsunsfan]

THis song and sound is so great, mom's are always right

god bless

[UnderATallTree]

lold

[undiebundie]

I love music plain and simple.

Granted I'm typically more into technical death metal, but to love one kind of music means you have to respect and appreciate what came before.

[MsKrissykitty]

If I become a Famous Singer, God knows I'm brining this music back <3

[MsJLovees]

another awesome part of youtube again !

<3333333

[XMaryXJo]

Still here in 2012 :D

[Imp3rf3ctAng3lXOXO]

i love walking down memory lane through youtube, reminds me of when i was growing up with my grandparents. them were the days

[krazyrhcpfan22]

12 people wanted daddy to say there would be days like that

[cjknotty]

Love it! If you enjoy music from this era check out the American Graffiti soundtrack

[1959slavo]

Toto je správna hudba.Veľmi sa mi to ľúbí.

[harleybug55]

this is my football coach favorite song he was put into a coma that no one knows why and when he returned to WHHS they played this song this song now means so much to me cause i could of lost my coach "Never give up Miracles happen everyday" #Team Rogers #

[devascoyanda]

love this.

[mouse12345ify]

WOW isnt it amazing how a song can transport you back to a specific time and place in an instant!  I guess it s not wise to miss the past it robs us of the future BUT thnx for this:) happy 2012

[dasuprastar1]

I agree with lost my flapjack

[lostmyflapjack]

I do miss simplicity, it seems these days everyone wants to over analyse music and books and films. Sometimes i wish we could just be content with the fact that - heyy, that's a good book, or good song, relate it to ourselves, but not guess what the artists are feeling. We need to relax and appreciate things for what they are :)

[CaliCaliente00]

This song is great and I love their hairstyles *-*

[tanteichan1]

I was born in the wrong generation.

[STONECOLD1987]

love the 50's & 60's i was put in the wrong generation

[MononokeRose91]

@STONECOLD1987 I feel the exact same way ugh! lol

[STONECOLD1987]

@MononokeRose91 Times were just so much safer & simple :D

[deatheater459]

I love these songs. I'm only 21 but I remember singing these songs with my dad in the car. good times. :D

[KennyHora]

Great stuff. Had a R&B flare and not the dull pop songs mostly aired at the time. What a treat!

[littlemeatballs123]

i like this music!!!!!!!!

[heg240]

PENA QUE QUASE NÃO TEM MAIS ESSES ESTILOS DE MUSICA HOJE EM DIA doo-wop, E SOUL!

[mikosaaol]

keep lady gaga.............ill take the shirelles.

[XxUltrAMegAxX]

im a huge metal head, listen to all this new stuff, but i can honestly tell ya i would in a heartbeat throw away all the new crap we got these days for this kinda music. music like this is legend and made music everything it is today

[berry3094]

love this song bak in my mother day but this was good music :)

[mahaltony]

i brought myself here

[MissAblue676792]

Love this song!

[mastabrye]

nice



[hutdiggity]

Here I am, in 2011, surrounded by pop icons growing up too fast, songs hammering out autotuned voices, songs about partying till you die, drinking till you drop, and a strange looking creature that goes by the name of Lady Gaga. Yet I choose to be content, sitting here tonight, drumming along to music when it was really Music, and savoring the God given talent, heart, and soul released onto those records a lifetime ago :)

[SirBasildeBrush]

@hutdiggity Thanks for the thoughts.You must have good taste...

[drhesslen]

@hutdiggity strange looking creature lady gaga? HOW DARE YOU SHES 100 TIMES MORE TALENTED THEN THESE STUPID ONE HIT WONDERS HOW DARE YOU!!! LADY GAGA HAS TALENT AND CHARACTER AND A BIG HEART SHE LOVES EVERYBODY UNLIKE U IDIOT!!!!!!!

[frannylmb]

@drhesslen Evidently you don't know what real music is!! TOO BAD FOR YOU!!!!

[tanteichan1]

Lady Gaga is not a legendary classic.

[josegilpr]

@hutdiggity RIGHT ON, BROTHER!!!

[79sartu]

@hutdiggity I totally agree with you; What is lady gaga? She definitely comes off as a strange creature; somethng freakish in nature. I don't listen to lady gaga; however, I have seen her.

[JustmeLyde]

@hutdiggity I love this music, but I love Lady Gaga too, different doesn´t mean worse.

[Rckrgrl73]

@hutdiggity I agree...I hate Lady Gaga!

[Rckrgrl73]

@hutdiggity I hate to tell you, but most of the best talented musicians are dead from that, so sorry...

[pedagogiamm3]

@hutdiggity There is no god, but okay, but i'm totally agree with you...

[ceyaro]

@hutdiggity You gotta look behind the commercial things ;) if you like this kind try to look for jazzy, blues in 2011 you'll find a couple you'll like ;)

[liv2ride13]

@hutdiggity well said!

[becerrarwj]

@hutdiggity i would definetly do the same thing, seriously.I totaly agree what you are talking about here

[NoYouDummy]

Uhhh, we don't care how old you are...

[t3xtinmama19]

I'm 15 an I like evrry music

[ThePinkOMG]

I'm 13 and I love this.(:

I don't like the terrible mainstream music that's out. I love the oldies.

[gaudyjewlreydiamond]

I love the oldies but I always thought that the lead singer was a man. Oops. Awkward. But thank you for uploading this. :)

[SirBasildeBrush]

@gaudyjewlreydiamond ...interesting

[Dosunty]

@gaudyjewlreydiamond Ditto. I thought that she was a male with a good falsetto, or a high tenor, like Frankie Lymon.

[Sarthanan]

@gaudyjewlreydiamond I don't know how you thought that was a man... XD

[t3xtinmama19]

I love this song lol

[raphaelosif]

I was a little boy sneaking into the back room listening to this on a tape my mom had back in the day...lol!  :)

[KiteSwift]

DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HISTORY. DON'T KNOW MUCH BIOLOGY!

[liddoRed210]

10 People out of there minds!!!

[fg6971]

i am only 62 and i like this like i dig it the most .

[Aristocreiton]

thumbs up if jesus brought you here

[cherubicnerd]

listening to this music is bittersweet because of the racism from whites that they had to deal with.

[shellylicious4986]

Im 25 and love the shirelle's :)

[xxa455xx]

@shellylicious4986 who doesnt?

[chcouch1]

The shirelles rank at the top as the No.1 female group in the world. Their hits all have soul galore ! I am a proud 50 year fan !

[sabrinaloveeify]

my mama said there will be days like this:)

[jeff62rey]

Genuine music full of simple heart and soul, speaking from a time when what "Momma said,' still deeply mattered and as soceity no matter our color, we felt a sense of decency, honesty and love that seems to be in short supply today. "Momma said there'd be days like this.." I'll take those days anytime!

[MrJduzit]

love this songgggggggggggggggggggg



[gusatron51]

thumbs up if you weren't sent here through another video or commercial, but through great taste for oldies :)

[xxyc21]

Well Mommy we sure did find that house were looking for back in the early 1960s and you are gone since 1991 and we still have the same house. Can't seem to sell it for a decent price after all that work.

Give us some help from the other side, so we can move on with our lives.

[tequilarise5000]

My mama said, that's what mama said

[liv2ride13]

i think i heard this song from "because i said so" the movie... im not sure tho

[crysiizzy]

@liv2ride13 me too (:

[nintruendo]

Mama Say, Mama Sa, Ma-Ma Kusah!

[PurpleCorcra]

[PurpleCorcra]

@MegaPaddyo eh, fuck off you cranky prick?

[rainbowumbreon10]

[YuNgTaYlOrZZ]

[marricy57]

[sailormoonashley]

[SmackTheLights]

@sailormoonashley the car one? hahahah

[grantevan49]

@lolinbaby actually 1964

[kpopnoonax3]

@grantevan49 where'd you get 1964 from? xD it's 1961.

[HallieMea]

I love this lol

[brucenator]

@lolinbaby 'Mama Said' was a Top 10 hit in 1961. The Shirelles had 5 singles in the Top 50 that year, 3 of which were Top 10. Top 10 hits from 1960-61, which are still widely known, are 'Baby, It's You,' the Number 1 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' and 'Dedicated to the One I Love' which rolled to the top of the charts when it was reissued for their debut LP 'Tonight's the Night' (a Top 40 song). 'Mama Said' and 'Baby, It's You' were both co-written by the Shirelle's producer, Luther Dixon.

[Lili64030]

Im 14 and i love this song

[BattleTelia41987]

@Lili64030 Well I'm 24 years old & I love this song also

[MrCancer1965]

[Dzluvs]

[kimico17]

:D Woohoo! Oldies! <3<3<3<3 Best music EVAR! =)

[ShellsMusicboxx2]

[PompousPreacher]

I wonder how mama aquired the information to inform her daughters that there would be "days like this."

[65wicked]

I'm here because I'm writing a paper on how women changed the music industry from the 1950's-1980's. I am sad to see everyone here is only here because this song was in a commercial or movie.

[jpringle1979]

@65wicked Not everyone. I was raised on this stuff by my parents. Of course I was born in '79 so lol.

[mystingy1]

@65wicked not me! i grew up on this music in the 70's! my parents had us listening to ALL types of music.

<3

[99juj]

I heard this off a commercail and wanted to hear the real song

[ilovesoulfood1993]

[ladyvee7110]

Campfire Tales? Really? Damn...

I wish people knew this music without having to hear it in some movie, TV show, commercial or video game. SMFH

[MICHELLE78906]

[crayyawn]

@goodfellasunderworld what's the title of the sam cooke song? that's why i know this tune but i forget the name.. hrrmm

[goodfellasunderworld]

@crayyawn wonderful world, but for me the resamblance is only when she sings 'mama said.......

[crayyawn]

@goodfellasunderworld ahh, thanks man, yeah the beginning singing melody sounds a lot like it! both great songs

[Taaiiloryyaa]

Thumbs up if a real artist sent you here... (The Supremes sent me ;D)

[DickMcCockpunch]

Couldn't get this song out of my head today....Thanks for letting me find it!

[Fernandez218]

Thumbs up if you googled Mary Elizabeth Winstead (from 'Sky High', 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World','Final Destination 3') and read her wikipedia info and then found in her "Personal" section that this is one of the bands that she "voiced her fondness" for and that you'd be interested in music that she'd like because you think that she's quite the interesting character herself and you might have something in common with her so you check out the bands there. Oh? no thumbs up? too bad. nice song.
