July 11, 1970 –
Three Dog Night started a two-week run at No.1 in the US with their version of the Randy Newman song Mama Told Me Not To Come, which was also a No.3 hit in the UK.
Randy Newman explained in a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone: “It’s a guy going to a party, and he’s a little scared. The first line (“Will you have whiskey with your water or sugar with your tea”) was a vague connection to acid. I don’t remember being thrown off by that stuff then. If I was that unsophisticated – which is possible – I wouldn’t admit it.“
