The Mamas and the Papas. Hard to believe that was actually a name for a band. But, yep, from around 1965 to 1968, they were very popular. And their melodies and harmonies were on the airwaves everywhere. One of their most famous songs would make you believe they didn’t like Monday morning much. They certainly didn’t trust it.
