Released in 1984 as the lead single from Quiet Riot’s album Condition Critical, "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" saw the band covering another Slade glam rock classic. Hoping to repeat the formula of "Cum On Feel the Noize," they delivered a high-energy hard rock rendition, complete with heavy guitars and Kevin DuBrow’s signature shout-along vocals.

While not reaching the phenomenal chart heights of its predecessor, Quiet Riot's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" (1984) still became a notable hard rock/glam rock hit. It captured the band's concert energy and party attitude, featuring driving rhythms and accessible rock hooks that solidified their place in the mid-80s heavy metal/hard rock scene.

SONG MEANING: Originally by Slade, "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" captures the wild, chaotic energy and collective abandon of being at a rock concert or a raucous party. The lyrics describe the feeling of everyone letting loose, going wild together ("I don't want to drink my whiskey like you do / I don't need to spend my money but I do"), celebrating the noisy, uninhibited fun of the event.
