When he started recording his own material (starting with his 1968 debut album) many of the songs had already been recorded by others. "Mama Told Me Not to Come" was included on his second album, 12 Songs, which came out around the same time Three Dog Night issued it. Newman had little chart success as an artist in these early years, but Three Dog Night did, and their raucous rendition was the one listeners preferred. Newman at first dismissed them as a "teeny-bopper" band, but later rescinded that statement, saying he liked their version a great deal. Mama Told Me Not to Come (European CD single liner notes).

Three Dog Night: the story of Mama Told Me Not To Come | Louder

Mama Told Me Not to Come", also written as " Mama Told Me (Not to Come)", is a song by American singer-songwriter Randy Newman written for Eric Burdon's first solo album in 1966. Three Dog Night's 1970 cover topped the US pop singles chart. Tom Jones and Stereophonics' version also reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart in 2000. John from Wilkes Barre, PaYou all are wrong, the song "Mama told me not to come" is a double on tundra on a sexual act that is pretty funny when you take it in the context of the actual song. The lyrics "That ain't no way to have fun - son!" ,"I'm looking at my girlfriend, she just passed out on the floor" and "That ain't no way to have fun - ah no no! (maybe I should have listened) . Yes because he got his girlfriend pregnant and that is no way to have fun, mama told me not to "c*m" It's the same thing with the song "Along comes Mary" which is a song about marijuana. So the artist just hides the truth about the song with a double on tundra to get it played on the radio. How many parents would have allowed their kids to buy the song on a 45 single if they real knew the real meaning of the song or it was written as it intended on the record label. It's a real funny song if you listen to it as a sexual double on tundra. He sings over and over again "Mama told me not to come" "Mama told me not to come" with the counter 'Mama told me She said She said". In my opinion they are going to some kind of orgy or a porn video in the making , because it's the "craziest party, there could ever be" with drugs and alcohol and that's how she ended up"passed out on the floor"Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.

Due to the song's upbeat, paranoid mood, it was used for the scene of obsessively drug-using protagonists Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo escaping a "District Attorneys convention on narcotics and dangerous drugs". It also appears as the last song in the movie's G-rated trailer, mainly accompanying Duke's wild car ride to have Dr. Gonzo catch a plane in time, a scene where in the R-rated trailer and in the actual film, Viva Las Vegas by Dead Kennedys was used instead. Newman's own turn at his song was released on the 1970 album 12 Songs, and was characterized by Newman's mid-tempo piano accompaniment, as well as Ry Cooder's slide guitar part, both of which give the song the feel of a bluesy Ray Charles-style rhythm and blues number.
