Mama's Little Angels
Quiet Riot · Quiet Riot [1977]
We're squeaky clean
We do the chores in the house, as quiet as a mouse
Better kids you've never seen
Yes we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
You know we are mama's little angels
As soon as mom leaves for work
Out come the paint cans, start to spray it on the wall
That's getting boring
Go get the bats
Gonna have us some indoor ball
Yes we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
You know we are mama's little angels
Well, Randy's up to bat.
Gonna hit me a home run
Sorry 'bout that
Outside, ball one
We lost our ball, let's have some fun with the dishes
Oops, we ain't doin' too well
When mommy gets home, she won't blame it on us
She knows that we're really swell
Yes we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
You know we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
You know we are mama's little angels
About Mama's Little Angels

Recorded during their formative years, the song showcases the group's early ability to fuse aggressive guitar riffs with melodic hooks, a sound that would later define their mainstream success. The track features the band's characteristic vocal delivery, blending raw energy with polished production techniques that set them apart from their contemporaries. As a staple of their early discography, it serves as a crucial link between their underground roots and the explosive popularity they would achieve with "Cum On Feel The Noize" just two years later. The recording captures the raw enthusiasm of the late 1970s metal scene, offering a glimpse into the band's evolution before they became global icons.
