"Mother of the Bride" by Billy Bragg (at the wedding, she tells him that the bride ought to have married him)

Layna Andersen (Layna Andersen), Friday, 3 December 2004 04:19 (nineteen years ago) link

The Spinners, "Sadie." Especially for the beginning where he suggests that young mothers got no respect!

Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 3 December 2004 04:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Diana Ross & the Supremes, "I'm Livin' in Shame." For the subset, "songs about mamas who don't know how to use cutlery."

Those last two are excellent picks.

The Shirelles-Mama Said
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles -Shop Around

and this one apparently almost didn't see the light of day
Elton John - Mama Can't Buy You Love

Mr. T - Treat your mother right

FEMALE CHORUS: (x2)

Treat her right
Treat your mother right
Treat her right
Treat her right

MR. T's CHORUS:

Mother
There is no other
Like Mother
So treat Her right
Mother
I always Love Her
My Mother
So treat Her right, treat Her right


M is for the moan, and the miserable groan
from the pain that She felt when I was born

O is for the oven with it's burnin' heat
where She stood makin' sure I had something to eat

T is for the time that She stayed up at night
and took my temperature when I wasn't feelin' right

H is for the hard earned money She spent
to keep clothes on my back and try to pay da' rent

E is every wrinkle I put on Her face
and every worry that I caused when I stayed out late

The last letter R is that She taught me Respect
and for the room up in Heaven that I know She'll get

MR. T Chorus


Female Chorus

She's a Queen
Second to none
Take care of Mother
You only get one

"I'm in love with your mom" - Vom

The Bouncing Souls' "I Like Your Mom" is brilliant:

I like your mom, and it's no fad.
I wanna marry her and be your dad!
I like your mom x3

(repeat)

The last verse of David Allen Coe's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name"

Captain Beefheart's "Apes Ma" is a great momma-tune.

The best song about moms is "Early Mother's Day Card" by Whodini.

Eazy, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 21:30 (sixteen years ago) link

Jandek, "Mother's Day Card"

Kind of weird of me to cite a hip-hop song here ;) but Swedish rapper Ken had a very heartfelt lyric (in Swedish) about his mum, whom he lost to cancer when he was just 14.

Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 21:38 (sixteen years ago) link

"I Love My Mom" - The Roches
"Momma's Gotta Die Tonight" - Body Count

Which I think covers the spectrum pretty well.

six years pass...

Heard Junior's "Mama Used to Say" on the radio this morning. Still love this soulful pop number
