Your Mama Don't Dance

"Your Mama Don't Dance" is a hit 1972 song by the rock duo Loggins and Messina.He thought the Beatles were just...screaming, long-haired idiots...So I grew up having to put up with that [but] it was [just] a fun lyric [with no intended] social significance whatsoever other than my own experience of a kinda funky household."[3] This song, whose refrain and first verse is done in a blues format, deals with the 1950s and 1960s lifestyle concerning the generation gap, where the parents oppose the Rock and Roll Revolution of the younger generation, which includes the rebelliousness against the old society that monitors curfews on dating; as well as being arrested for making love with a girl in the back seat of a car during a drive-in movie, which happens during the bridge section of the song.In 1988, the glam metal band Poison recorded a cover of "Your Mama Don't Dance."[10] Pan-European magazine Music & Media described the song as "energetic version" of traditional 12 -bar with a vague doo-wop edge.
