Mama Told Me Not To Come — The Animals (1966)

"Mama Told Me Not To Come" was written by Randy Newman for Eric Burdon's first solo album in 1966. However, it would first appear a year later on The Animal’s 1967 album “Eric Is Here”. Newman's own version of his song was released on the 1970 album “12 Songs”. The most famous version, by Three Dog Night, would go to the top of the charts later the same year.
