Junior - Mama Used To Say

[blstheone]

I used to like this song a lot; unfortunately, this song and a whole lot of other's got slightly looked over in 1982 cause some other "thrilling" music was going on that year.........

[boomp]

Mama was right.

[derrick521]

[Babydoll22ize]

I still love this song to death!!!! One of the best funk songs of the 80's!!! This song is priceless!!!!

[skiddww01]

I know this was early 80's. They still could have done a lot better with the video for this.WTF

[cmhmusicbox]

Thanks you for posting this song. Just sent this to my youngest son who is away at college, not twenty-one yet, no children, a junior in college on a band scholarship, and in the Army National Guard. So proud of him...thanks for listening baby! 

[JColegreenEyes]

I used to sing this when I did copy top 40. Reminds me of Houston, TX when I was with "Right On Red".

[MultiMarkaustin]

this bring back childhood memories

[MistakenlyMistaken]

I bet his Mama is proud of this song!



[bluejeckett]

was that artist english or american? Im trying to guess, nice track, not familiar with Junior or that song, liked the watercoloured 80s chalk kids drawing style backdrops. Hmmm which do I guess, I was going to go for English based on the design but something tells me American

[1empty]

@bluejeckett English

[5Gregallz5]

@bluejeckett English, Londoner, my dad can vouch for it 'cause he went to the same school as Junior and Seal (Henry Thornton school in Clapham) and my dad's 54 so Junior's 54-55ish was in the same year as my dad, hope it's helped.

[bluejeckett]

@5Gregallz5 cheers mate, yes it has, I was gussing London but couldve been either way lol

[montrellove12]

[dwaygregjon]

[TheDarksideKing]

Classic



[swackiller]

how can you not like this song

[edwinachikere]

Will always love this song but, this video is special

[str8outtatexas1]

I was a freshman in high when this song came out & my friend name john brandyburg walked in the gym with his big ass boom box bumping this song at lunch. Everybody start singing ...to funny. I don't care how times have changed,music,technology ect.. Today's music (with the exception of a few and i do mean few) will NEVER duplicate,replace, or contain the substance,creativity,love,pass­ion,soul, & meaning of the music from the 60's through early to mid 90's.Today it's all IMAGE very little TALENT

[lanzi123]

What happened to black artists? It used to be the truth, even old school hip hop was a good form of expression. Now it's just scantily clad girls, and every rapper calling everyone a 'niggahhhh' and talking about how many bitches they own, and how many 'caps they're gonna pop in someone'. WAKE UP.

[thedavisgroup]

@lanzi123 That is today's hip hop and alot of the rap, that you are referring to. This is R&B, and alot of good music is still out there being made today. Check out Will Downing

[discodan71]

perfect tune to blow away the satuday morning hangover cobweds......

[petuniababi]

@discodan71 You are so true!!! That's what i am doing right now.Still such a powerful track!!! Love this!!!

[cindys3kids]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[rosehh1]

OMG !THIS WAS THE JAM BACK IN THE DAY. IT STILL SOUNDS GOOD.

[faizonsayzar]

What I mean to say is that this kind of stuff is lost on the youth today, we knew it before us, we knew it then and know it today...it's the same message, but you have to learn it for your selves 'cause it ain't taught anymore. Read this message and memorize it, your future depends on it.

[petuniababi]

@faizonsayzar AMEN!!!!!

[faizonsayzar]

yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

[gochr1s]

76 people didn't listen to what mama used to say...shame on y'all

[marcia7523]

OMG this was the jam and it still sounds good. This vid is straight up cheesy though. What's up with Junior in the tub? Video has certainly come a long way.

[brunnpchannel]

SOUND LIKE STEVIE WOUNDER 

[edgarfromthebronx]

The BOMB.Takes me back to the carefree years.

[MegaAdeman]

Brilliant tune. 1982 was a good year for pop, well all genres

happy listening!!!

[mskiara18]

Aw man, I loved this song as a child. I wish I actually listened to the lyrics then lol

[ezekielthemack]

South London's finest NORMAN GISCOMBE JUNIOR. British soul music at its finest.!!

[twin1bro]

[henhao1972]

what happened to the message ???? got me wanting to hear it with that tease at the end !(2 seconds!)

[6743Peoria]

Old School... I was in the 7th grade when this song came out. That instrument arrangement is still timeless 30 years later

[TubRockMusic]

I first heard this song when Martin said what what you say about my mama Gina??? mama used to say take ya time young man and mama use to say don't you rush to get old I know the damn song Gina lmao they Heavy D sampled it R.I.P Heavy D

[ablistuk]

Everyone knows this guy is British right? Who also knew that the Average White Band were Scottish? Sampled by Beastie Boys, TLC, The Beatnuts, Too Short, Ice Cube, Eric B. & Rakim, Nas and A Tribe Called Quest, as well as Arrested Development....

Just gotta say cos I am Scottish. Born in 1982, the year of this track too. Amazing. For a small country we got a lot of Soul.... Proclaimers?

[TheHoodhistorian]

@ablistuk warren g sampled this song too on " Do You See "

[mrsscallywags]

Green screen at its best! lol

[dwaygregjon]

[MjWife17]

75 people didn't live there life or just don't want one

[MjWife17]

[Flashvette]

I remember this song back in 1982. I was 18 years old. It was very popular back then. So many great R&B singers back in the 80's. Brings back memories. I miss the 80's. Thanks for posting the song/video.

[kimo1371]

real music.

[MrTreJ]

This must have been what Gina was singing as a cover up...

[mpny]

The video sucks, but the song is a classic!! One of my all time favorites!! The video doesnt match the song whatsoever! Love the song!

[Yoshibabe92]

[Yoshibabe92]

[RRpizano]

74 personas no tienen MADRE! This is an awesome song.

[on7allday]

JUNIOR AND STEVE ARRINGTON GREAT VOCALS

[andrewfrancis74]

@on7allday Why'd you have to mention Steve? Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder are two Icons, and Junior and Steve Arrington are two of their best disciples ever !

[busycloud77]

@on7allday - For a looong time I thought / assumed this was Steve Arrington. Google and Youtube been unlocking all types of mysterys for me!

[Shawette1988]

I'm 23 yrs old and I LOVE this!!! Thank God I have older brothers & sisters!

[Savageincarnate]

My mother used to say "Don't take any wooden nickels"~

[blainie4]

I love this!

[capcity8000]

One hit wonder, gosh wish i had one

[eichler34]

Music used to be original, and fun. It's gotten too serious, and there is virtually nothing that isn't copy-cat with today's artists. Now, if you don't have a good voice, auto-tune makes you a star. I love the cheesy video.

[imma101beast]

lol think if youtube has back in this day

im srry but im 14 nd i LOVE old school

[sonofyah2726]

[skywalkr90]

thebegining was sample by bone thugs i think ...thuggish ruggish bone

[jamietherooster]

i woulda loved to grow up in that time , cause even tho they fucked it up for this generation , they must of had a blast , no money worries back then ,jobs for everyone , no shit music , when the chart was filled with real music

[OSTARAEB4]

@jamietherooster Many of us romanticize about a time earlier than ours. I grew up in this time and yes, the late 1970's-to about 1984 or so had great disco music along with MTV starting in 1981 with punk bands/New Wave. However, my generation also thought to a degree the prior messed things up for us. The 1970's was a time of bad politics, an erosion of the public trust in our leaders, gas embargo, Union strikes, and creeping inflation and the nation dealing with the Iranian hostages.

[jkeirs]

damn 73 people never listened to mama, sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit

[jesal21]

Mmmmummmah used to say don't you wwwush at alllllllllll. What a classic!
