Uppers, downers, Valium, diet pills, Quaaludes, Black Mollies, it was pretty common for many females to be using something legally, the Stones wrote a song about “Mother’s Little Helpers” in 1965.
“’Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, “Mother’s Little Helper” was recorded in Los Angeles from 3–8 December 1965. The song deals with the sudden popularity of Valium (diazepam), a mild tranquilizer, among housewives and the ease of obtaining it from their GPs.
“ Kids are different today, I hear ev’ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she’s not really ill, there’s a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day ”
Toward the end of the song, the mothers are warned:
“ And if you take more of those
you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper
They just helped you on your way
through your busy dying day””
