Line 13:
** Their version of "Dedicated to the One I Love" is much better known than the earlier version released by [[The Shirelles]]. Similarly, their cover of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" (in which Mama Cass did her own whistling) charted much higher than the 1931 original by Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra.
** Everybody thinks of [[The Beach Boys]]' cover of "Califormia Dreamin'" before the original version, even though John and Michelle Phillips were in the music video.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The New Mamas and the Papas, formed in 1980, never did as well as the original group.
* [[Throw It In]]: "I Saw Her Again" was mixed incorrectly, leading to the famous and often-imitated intro "I saw her ... I saw her again".
