I'm a 15 year old, heavy metal fan, but by god do I love Genesis and Phil Collins >.<

✌ ❤ ♫ ☺ ☠ ☛ Phil Collinz

[ScorpionsTrail]

You had to be there - a time and space thing.

[nstygatr]

Wonder what the fuck they were thinking when writing this?

[badvock71]

@nstygatr Apparently the song was about one mans obsession with a prostitute, must have smoke a phat one before they wrote this awesome song though.



[shack8110]

Not a bad song on this album.  A total trip.

[frht454]

2:48 chills, just chills!!!!

[STVYT]

WOW! I love YouTube comments sometimes. I never thought of abortion in the lyrics of this song before. I can see how you might get that impression from the words. This song would make a good anti-abortion or even anti-circumcision song. :P

[ThePola50]

ON jest boski

[ThePola50]

THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DistressSignal]

GOD I love it when he screams...

[MrChowder469]

Real Nigg White Person Shit.

[wittlemunchikin]

I was almost an abortion myself. I'm a pro lifer.

[frht454]

@wittlemunchikin too bad they missed

[lorien0112]

[ilic5314]

[ilic5314]

gta 4 life

[utcnc7mm]

Classic.....They don't make music like this anymore. Oh how I miss the 80's!

[MrPyjamarama]

ich habe Diese Zeit sehr persönlich genommen, tja der Herbst `83, ein Super-Lied, aber ich war im 4. Lehrjahr als Werkzeugmacher und musste mich um die Übernahme nach meiner Lehre bangen, eine blöde Zeit, oder viel Lärm um "Garnichts", ich holte mir den Trost mit Lieder wie "Mama" und war dann für ein paar Minuten fern der Realität, Vielen Dank, Phil Collins

[154X54192291191]

Das geilste was Collins je gesungen hat!

Ich find´s geil obwohl ich erst 13 Jahre bin.

[MrPyjamarama]

@154X54192291191 stimmt, ausser "paperlate" und "in the air tonight" LG Robert

[154X54192291191]

Really good song forever!!!

liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[DistressSignal]

My god... I've found this song very creepy to listen to, especially when he laughs (you really don't experience this side of him often), but clearly the music video is at least TWICE as disturbing and confronting. I love how he's leaning against that beam around the beginning, looking and acting so much like Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire.

[LeCutter]

It never ceases to amaze me how much great music Phil put out in this period. The man is fantastic songwriter anyway you slice it.

[kovacszsuzsa0411]

I like this song.

[kovacszsuzsa0411]

@kovacszsuzsa0411 

[BlindGuardian495]

this is my favorite song of Genesis,i'll always love this song as much as the frist i've heard it when i was just 4 years old,now i'm 30 and it always bring tears to my eyes.

[pillowsinmypants]

i like this song. First time i heard it i was playing gta 4 and i was really high. It brought a tear to my eye :')

[varvie52]

love the song, but... does anyone what this song is about?! i used 2 think it was about a serial killer who stalks women.. this song actually scared me as a kid. lol.

[MsAnitaj22]

This song has a double meaning, but still one of Genesis great numbers.....

[qzebqzeb]

dobra muza....naprawdę dobra

[DeeCeeCT]

Folks, that is how you lay down some RIPPING vocals! Amazing build from start to finish!

[c22223]

Meine erste Liebe.... GENESIS

[cyntdic7777]

this song is amazing,but I never here him play it live ????My friend told me it was about aboertion??does anyone know if thas true???its kinda a song that I play for my mother that has passesd away!!!

[Taud]

@cyntdic7777 its about a man loving a prostitute, they called them "mamas" a while back and they term isnt really used to often anymore, the other guys right tho....

[Kowalsky204]

Great song, Phil Collins is a legend!!

[jhunter1163]

This isn't the long version... about 30 seconds cut out of the last verse. Great song though!

[tonyatla]

DOES _anyone know if this song is about abortion,because it is so heartfely and is still dedicated to my long lost mom...R.I.P missing-u-rveryday c-moon

[doctorfeelucky]

@tonyatla You're not the first to think this, but no. This song is about a man's obsession with a prostitute he called "mama." He fell in love with her and she had feelings for him to, but she couldn't be with him.

[mrjoehumphrey]

@doctorfeelucky I get the feeling that the relationship between the man in the prostitute isn't nearly as mutual as you're suggesting. I get a much more aggressive, stalker vibe from it.

[doctorfeelucky]

@mrjoehumphrey I read it in Phil Collins quote, but I think there might have been a typo while writing down the quote because one part contridicts another. It says that the man didn't know why she has no interest in him, but later on it says that he is special to her, but it could go no further. It was a 45 year old prostitute

[tonyatla]

phill got all the fame for in the air tonight ,but what about this one(does it not strike a a cord,she is gone ,taken away never to see her again(the passion towards the end is haunting!!!c-moon

[tonyatla]

does anyone care,how my heart is broken!!!

[tonyatla]

its me again I can never get enough love you mother.c-moon

[tonyatla]

mom if I did not have the valued memoirs/I would have withered away and died!!! its too hard living w/only memories and the feel of your enbrace it left me alone and praying to someday join-u-again R.I.P love c-moon

[MrJoetheawesome124]

its a good mother's day song kinda

[Andree2700]

Geil



[ArnoldWilsonnegger]

always thought this was a nice song about his mom..

[divisorplot]

Mathematics ma(the+tics) the tacks the toes. mama ha ha ha ha!

[TheZoopsia]

THRILLER SOUNDS, WERY GOOD.

[Raygirl50]

I was so afraid of this song when I was a little girl ;w; I love it now tho <3

[DieVoyager]

Great !

[Zegirly]

sceary the: ha ha haaaaaa

[hoogivzarip]

divisorplot, woteva drugs you're on mate. Stop it. You'll go blind! :-)

[monmarc1]

c pas la meilleurs

[crunchnmunchify]

O what ever



[divisorplot]

cocktrice basilisk this fabulous serpent killed woever came upon it without seeing it first,by a glance or by its poisnous breath.It was supposed to be hatched from an egg laid by an aged cock-seven or fourteen years old-a round egg laid on a dung-hill and hatche by a frog or a toad.It was depcted as a cock with a dragon's tail or as a snake with cock's wings.Its entire symbolism derived from this legend. Gozilla

[quethetee]

Great, dark song. Have to say, I hated the video as a kid. Collins/Genesis poured on that great 'atmospheric' stuff once upon a time. Wasn't all classic love songs and catchy pop.

[ricotita2008]

❤♫•*❤♫•*❤♫•*❤

[zazozung]

Genesis: greatest band in the world.

[wvd1979]

I never thought Phil Collins could look tough in a video, but this just proved me wrong.

[b4rts1m6s0n]

Best Genesis- Song ever oh Lord please bring back the 80`s.........

[zbtrocker84]

The lyrical content and intensity of this song puts most modern heavy metal bands to shame. Phil Collins is the man. 

[Loakum]

I have to put Phil Collins up there with Prince, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, and Madonna for being the sound of the 80's

[uni4life1619]

why couldnt i have been born 30 years earlier

[doctorfeelucky]

so let me get this straight, this song is about a guy, who as an obsession with a prostitute, calling her his "mama," she finds that he has fallen for her, she feels the same but she can't be with him? That's what was quoted from Phil Collins in Wikipedia, but I would like to take it from a more acurate source. Some say it could be about Abortion

[zazozung]

@doctorfeelucky That quote is accurate. It's about a prostitute. It is NOT about abortion.

[caterina0809]

Bellissimaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!



[doctorfeelucky]

HA HA HA......HA HA HA....oooohhh

[PaderlandOwl]

Wow großartig,liebe es!!!!

[biero30]

traum song lg

[dadadmisol]

oh Lord plz bring me back to the 80's

[maika0703]

ive seen this song preformed live man is was sooo great it brought the tears in my eyes

[MikeyRB77]

@maika0703 you lucky person! I would have murdered someone if it meant I could see Genesis in concert.

[sondraavellino]

GOD I LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO!!!! BEST EVERRRRRR!~ NO ONE BESIDES OUR 80'S PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!

[Slamayer]

My favorite Genisis track, love it!

[KleineNixe101]

One of the best!!! Thank you! ;))

[BibosLowBudget]

@KleineNixe101 wie recht du hast

[MnRProdMariolaur]

Miami Vice all the way!!! 80's please do come back........

[helenafromseoul]

Among rockers, band artists as well as among the solo artists, there will be no one who has such a distinctive, unique voice like Sir Phil Collins....His voice is really fantastic.....beautiful!

[yugoroth1]

This song is about a prostitute, good to know...

[thelazyboydj]

After 2 decades still not sure what the message was just know it was a little out there for Genesis Hhhhooooowwwww ha ha!

[doctorfeelucky]

ok, I don't get the message out of this song. Is it about somebody hurting their mother or something?

[Atom21]

Damn great song. They don't make music like this anymore. It's all shit now, no musical integrity at all.

[kell1956]

cancion que ya es un clasico"....y que ha dejado escuela para otros grupos...una joya!

[Gutie70]

whoever dislikes this video doesn't know the impact that everyone who listened to it had on them....

[Yaris510]

Wow, what a heck of a powerful track; the word 'pop' doesn't do it justice... it's more like a really intense session of psychotherapy set to music! An amazing track, which never fails to send shivers down my back (and what was it about the year in which it was composed, 1983? All the tracks released by artists that year seem to have been exceptional)

[jffyrdly]

Something about Phil is so incredibly sexy...

[trecoolmania]

oh my god that snare is fucking cracking

[TheEltestosteron]

The audio has been compressed to death. Remarkable overuse of a compressor.

[flatpatty]

Yeah, Phil can sing his ass off!

[gsajenn1]

I know its about a teenager, because it has been documented that Phil Collin's has said that's what the song is about

[BrownProdctions]

GTA IV brought me here

[loustros80]

@BrownProdctions me too

[geo4885]

the best song in germany for long time

[Taud]

Genesis was a band that you just couldn't do a cover song of their material....

[clasik01]

hES A WEIRDO

[557011]

@clasik01 why?

[557011]

@clasik01 why?

[purple8307]

Remember this video in the early 80s was one of my favorite ones!! He is awesome. Sings his heart out in this one!!

[McFudge93]

This song makes me want to smoke cigarettes again

[gsajenn1]

Why would you dedicate a song anout a teenage boy with a mother fixation on a whore to your brother?... even though it was his favorite song its kinda creepy.

[nadgryzionytramwaj]

@gsajenn1 how can u tell it was about a teenager?

[MoreWhiteBabies]

@gsajenn1 Mama is a nickname for girlfriend, like sugar mama, sugar daddy, etc. You fucking idiot.

[skoobi25]

top this song .. ? i think not :))

[chefnodd]

phil is so delightful evil in this vid it's so great. I remember when this song first came out F---ing great!

[skoobi25]

@chefnodd delightful ? wtf planet u on ?

[dianew046]

What a voice!!! you sing those songs Phil you rock,,

[draculasgirl1]

It's such a creepy song, I can't help but love it!!! Would love to be able to sprinkle some soundbites from the Psycho movies in it----wouldn't that make it even more creepy????

[bigblockvista]

Song gives me chills

[rrbrown813]

Sexy ass Phil Collins...he can be my sugar-daddy any time...Lol.....

[TheMarluciaSilva]

visivel ou invisivel, de aspecto humano ou não...

[TheMarluciaSilva]

Uma mãe e como vejo as'' palavras,'' de infinitas ''possibilidades'', e ''preciso que amemos'', o que demos vida. independente das especie de vida que geramos,'' visivel ou invisivel''.

[SnyderRon]

I like this one. What a scream!

[SpaceBalrog]

The Dislike Bar is like a Ninja , you can`t see him or her but you know he/her is here :D

[antonyafe90]

πολυ ωραιο κοματι

[999meister]

its a very cool great song this is my best years the 80 ´s mama and miami vice au men what a time the best year´s in my life i love usa

[BryonThePoet]

Comments are are not a crime. I don't appreciate being called crazy and sick. When I first heard the song I was all of about 14 years old. I had no idea what the song was. There was no internet to explain what lyrics were about. You have no right to deem me or my comments "unacceptable." I was a kid and never got the clarification. Why couldn't why couldn't you just

explain the storyline? I was asking for a clarification. Moron. Oh, yeah, how hot my mama is. Please, Sick and crazy my ass!

[DeathbringerALIVE]

Im just 18 and i can tell you a history!

That time they have less tecnology and better things than today!

Whem more metal tings are made from more cold they are!!!

[gildeal1]

3 hits of acid mariners point San Diego 1987, shew what a ride!

[alexanderlecard777]

incorrect this song is from the 1975 vinyl when peter Gabriel was still there

[edsvaliente59]

I made the Mistawow1's words as mine. I'm an older Progressive Rock's fan, and as like one, I grew with this fantastic style !!!

I really love Progressive Rock and Eletronic Sound " Rick Wakeman, Triunvirat, Jean Luc-Ponty, Jean Michel Jarré, Vangelis, and others."

[mistawow1]

I remember this song from my younger days! brings back good and bad memories but some songs do that. Great song!

[thetman102771]

i've always loved the song (i have it on VINYL, btw), but this is my very 1st time seeing the music video. awesome....

[KateObora]

I wymiękłam po raz kolejny:********

[pearlsimonrockjam95]

acdc metallica ,guns.......hahahahahahahahahh­ahahahahah..

genesis ...or nothing....

[TheKhyser]

@BryonThePoet you are just one sick mind can't help if you don't understand good music.

[BryonThePoet]

That's why I hate posting public comments. No matter what I say I got some ignoramus jumping on me for something I said.just because I had no idea what the song was about? An error in interpretation does not equate with crazy or sick. I wanted someone to clarify the misunderstanding I had with the song without snide redneck like comments.. At least I don't creep around the internet bashing people and their comments with personal attacks..

[TheKhyser]

@BryonThePoet if you are a poetry lover you wouldn't have refered the soulful lyrics of MAMA as mother-son incest (so disgraceful) and that in no way is acceptable as "error interpretation".

[chingchangchongfly]

Am I crazy or does Phil Collins have an awesome voice? I sometimes think he does, seriously.

[NoNameAvailable875]

@chingchangchongfly That's a fact of nature son... Phil does have an awesome voice

[nightnurse1954]

my favourite genesis song. phil collins at his best

[skoobi25]

@nightnurse1954 ditto



[MrHELIMAN1]

@nightnurse1954 OOOOHH YAAAA!!!!

[sondraavellino]

@nightnurse1954 It is really hard to explain how I feel listening to this song. I FEEL SO OVERWHELMED....this i have never felt sooo vulnerable with any song.....I am an 80's prodogy!!!!!

[dgionescu]

@sondraavellino me too... great overwhelmed song!!! only queens`s bohemian rhapsody is in the same line... awesome music! thank you

[emilyt2112]

@dgionescu This is a GREAT song yes. If you want heavy and pleadingly heartfelt, how about Mother by Pink Floyd

[TZCRK]

This song is about a young man, who is in love with an older from him prostitute. He loves her, but she doesnt feel the same to him. And so, his thoughts of love turn into obsession and madness about her, being a stalker and wanting her so badly, that he can fairly reach his line of sanity... the end :P

[misaslick]

THIS IS IN THE FONDEST AND GREAT MEMORY TO MY SON "PHILLIP ZANE WIELAND-ARNETT

[mjustfoolin]

This song makes me think of a woman thinking of having an abortion. and her unborn baby is crying out.

[quaxk]

@mjustfoolin really? I'm pretty sure it's about a tranny...

[JosephJahshan]

pretty good song but the "hah hah hah" part is just fucking scary! :P

[petrunjelabubica]

I like to think that underneath the story of "prostititute" lays the real obssesion with mother. It gives the song more power...But a really great song from my youth...

[Pascale06500]

WOWWWWWWWWWW !!!!

[pistenqueen]

Genesis at its best!!!!

[lennonschram]

ONLY SONG I LIKE BY THESE GUYS

[mircea1910]

3:31 - 3:37 is scary as all hell, which is why I love this music video so much; Marilyn Manson, for example, can never be that scary in any of his videos

[iseeu1980]

Fuck the lack of lyrics. this song rocks

[CaillouLP]

GTA IV -> Liberty Rock Radio.
