1. Pretty Boy Floyd is a glam metal… Read Full Bio ↴At least two bands have this name:
1. Pretty Boy Floyd is a glam metal band that formed in 1988 in Hollywood, California. After play only eight shows, they were snapped up by MCA Records. Starting out at the tail end of the 80s' sleazy rock scene, they're best known for their 1989 debut album 'Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz'.
Not too long ago, when a movement rose saying that rock was about having a good time, letting your hair down, and trying to create a little chaos and anarchy to have fun, four guys got together in Hollywood and formed a band. NYC guitarist Kristy Majors hooked up with west coast front man Steve Summers and laid the foundation for their dream band. They jammed, wrote songs together, and played constantly to get their sound right. The band chose the name “Pretty Boy Floyd” because it seemed to describe them well, being four teen toughs armed with guitar licks and teenage angst who set out to conquer the musical world.
The group signed to MCA records and released 'Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz', a 1989 album whose very name was a tongue-in-cheek tip of the hat to the group's glamorous heroes such as Kiss, the New York Dolls, and Sweet. Those previous bands had also believed that rock music wasn't just music, being part show, part spectacle, and part lifestyle (“a prostitute to be trumped up and tarted around like a band aid or cheap whore” in the words of David Bowie). The Howard Benson-produced album made a significant impact, being named one of the hottest albums of its genre by the 'Metal Edge' and 'Spin' magazines.
Pretty Boy Floyd landed on the cover of metal bible Kerrang! and their two Top 20 videos “I Wanna Be With You” and “Rock and Roll is Gonna Set the Night on Fire” hit MTV, back when MTV ran videos instead of reality shows. The band toured the world and were recognized as the kings of the Sunset Strip, breaking attendance records held by Van Halen and Warrant. Their album would go on to sell 750,000 copies worldwide.
As the new millennium rolled in, new music fans began to wonder what they had missed. While most Pretty Boy Floyd fans were at an age that you wouldn’t commonly associate with concert goers, a whole new breed of young fans who weren’t even out of school when the band first emerged began to rediscover their music. The original fans and the new fans meshed on their common ground - a love of Pretty Boy Floyd’s music, sleazy shows, and fun times. Never mind what the critics think, or what trends may have come and gone.
Having outlasted many of the critics who cried “they’ll never make it,“ Pretty Boy Floyd continues to record and tour the world. Their current lineup: Steve Summers - Vocals ~ Kristy Majors - Guitar ~ Criss 6 - Bass ~ Ben Graves - Drums
2. Canadian hard rock/glam metal band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada active in 1987-1990. They released Bullets & Lipstik EP in 1988 and Bullets & Lipstik LP in 1989. They eventually renamed the band to Tommy Floyd.

It was getting hot
You were just about to let go
We were in my car
We almsot ran to far
But we stopped fast when you said no
Your momma taught you it aint right
Everytime we get close
You say dont
She told you what to say
To keep the boys away
But your momma wont know
If i hold you tight
Your momma wont know
If we kiss tonight
Your momma wont know
If we do or if we dont
All i wanna know is if we will or if we wont
Girl you turn me on
Temptation getting strong
And i know that you feel it to
Cus its you i craze
And i cant behave
You make it so hard to do
Your momma taught you that its right
Just to wait
Everytime that we get close
You hesitate
She told you what to say
To keep the floyds away
But your momma wont know
If i hold you tight
Your momma wont know
If we kiss tonight
Your momma wont know
If we do or if we dont
All i wanna know is if we will or if we wont
You know she's gonna say
Did you go all the way?
She'll never ever know
The hours getting late
So dont you hesitate
Tell me yes or no
Do we stop or go
But your momma wont know
If i hold you tight
Your momma wont know
If we kiss tonight
Your momma wont know
If we do or if we dont
All i wanna know is if we will or if we wont
But your momma wont know
If i hold you tight
Your momma wont know
If we kiss tonight
Your momma wont know
If we do or if we dont
All i wanna know is if we will or if we wont
The lyrics to "Your Momma Won't Know" by Pretty Boy Floyd are about two teenagers who are attracted to each other but are hesitant to take the next step because of the influence of the girl’s mother. The boy tries to convince the girl that her mother won’t find out if they hold each other tight or kiss that night. He acknowledges that her mother taught her it’s not right to be with boys and that she has what to say to keep “the floyds” away, but he is persistent in his pursuit of her.
The song is an anthem of teenage rebellion against parental authority and societal norms. It portrays a sense of urgency and emotional passion. The tone is playful yet sincere as the boy tries to persuade the girl to let go of her inhibitions and give in to their desires. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has ever felt conflicted about breaking rules or going against the wishes of those in authority, whether it be a parent, a teacher, or society at large.

I hit you on the spot
I made my move on you suddenly
It was getting hot
The situation was becoming sexy
You were just about to let go
You were starting to give in to your desires
We were in my car
We were in a private, secluded space
We almost ran too far
We were getting close to doing something we might regret
But we stopped fast when you said no
We halted our actions immediately when you expressed you weren't ready
Your momma taught you it ain't right
Your mother has instilled conservative values in you
So you won't
You refuse to do anything that would be considered inappropriate
Every time we get close
Whenever we start to become intimate
You say don't
You put a stop to it
She told you what to say
Your mother gave you words to use to fend off advances
To keep the boys away
To avoid male attention
Girl you turn me on
You arouse me sexually
Temptation getting strong
I'm finding it difficult to resist
And I know that you feel it too
I can tell that you are also attracted to me
Cus its you I craze
I have a strong desire for you
And I can't behave
I'm having trouble controlling my impulses
You make it so hard to do
Your presence is making it difficult for me to stay in control
Your momma taught you that it's right
Your mother has taught you to be proper and chaste
Just to wait
To hold off on any sexual activity
Every time that we get close
Whenever we start to become intimate
You hesitate
You have doubts and reservations
She told you what to say
Your mother gave you words to use to fend off advances
To keep the Floyds away
To avoid attention from guys like me
You know she's gonna say
Your mother will inevitably ask about our activities
Did you go all the way?
Did we have sexual intercourse?
She'll never ever know
We can keep our actions a secret
The hour's getting late
It's getting too late to keep stalling
So don't you hesitate
Don't hold back any longer
Tell me yes or no
Make a decision on whether or not to take things further
Do we stop or go?
Should we end our actions or continue?
