What's the name of this song and who sings it?

Question

It goes something like this:

"'Cause your father don't dance and your moma don't rock-n-roll"

That's probably really off, but it's as much as I can remember...it's probably from the 50's, although I'm less than 1% sure...I heard it a couple of days ago on a lite rock radio station and it's been stuck in my mind ever since...the annoying thing, though, is that I keep getting stuck with just those few words!!!!! And it's driving me nuts!!!!!

Thanks in advance =]

Answer 1

Your Mama Don't Dance
( Loggins and Messina )

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go to rock and roll?

The old folks say that you gotta end your date by ten
And if you're out on a date and you bring her home late it's a sin
There just ain't no excuse
And you know you're gonna lose, you never win
I'll say it again

And it's all because
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go to rock and roll?

You pull into a drive-in
And find a place to park
You hop into the backseat
Where you know it's nice and dark
You're just about to move and your thinking it's a breeze
Then there's a light in your eye and then a guy says,
"Out of the car, long hair"
Oowee! "You're coming with me!"
Said the local police

And it's all because
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go to rock and roll?
Where do you go to rock and roll?
Where do you go to rock and roll?

And it's definitely from the 70's
