The Mamas and the Papas

==Info==
The Mamas and the Papas were a popular folk rock group from the sixties. California Dreamin' was written about a desire to leave Greenwich Village, an epicenter of sixties folk, for California. Despite popular belief and the fact that she was found dead with a ham sandwich in her hand, autopsies found no traces of food in Mama Cass's esophagus. Their song Creeque Alley (pronounced "creaky alley") references Barry McGuire, Jim McGuinn of The Byrds, and The Lovin' Spoonful.
