I was using Wikipedia as my source and no mention of Mama.

Still, 25 is the holy number so let's include it.

from Wikipedia

In the UK it was released as a double-A side along with "Who Do You Think You Are", the song topped the charts for three consecutive weeks.

maybe the fact it was a double a confuses matters!

 

[BLUENUT]

Bluenut, it' four letters.

for some reason I was thinking 1 word - it was early when i read the original coat.
