Mama Told Me Not to Come - Three Dog Night - (HQ Audio)

"Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" is a song by Randy Newman. Newman says that the song was inspired by his own lighthearted reflection on the Los Angeles music scene of the late 1960s. However, the song is not strictly autobiographical; Newman uses a green narrator, a sheltered and extraordinarily straight-laced young man, who recounts what is presumably his first "wild" party in the big city. The young man is shocked and appalled by everything he sees (including cigarette-smoking, whiskey-drinking, drunkenness, and loud music) and—in the chorus of the song—he recalls his "mama told [him] not to come." - Wiki
