The Mamas and the Papas: Difference between revisions
Trope "Covered Up": Added some information about "Califormia Dreamin'" harvested from Wikipedia in order to verify the claim that had a verify tag placed on it. Verification was only partially successful, so the existing statement was re-worded.

* [[Band of Relatives]]: John and Michelle Phillips were husband and wife.
* [[Covered Up]]: The Mamas and the Papas are examples of both sides of this trope.
** 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 Cass Elliot did her own whistling) charted much higher than the 1931 original by Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra. And almost nobody remembers Barry McGuire's recording of "Califormia Dreamin'" (written by John and Michelle Phillips) despite the fact that it was released before The Mamas and the Papas's version of the song.

* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: According to her 1968 interview in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, Cass Elliot never liked being called "Mama Cass" (especially after she became a mother), but the nickname stuck because of her association with the group.
* [[Hating on Monday]]: "Monday Monday"
