So you're scrambling for a last minute Mother's Day compilation CD or e-card for your mom? Well, you probably shouldn't use these...1. Mother - Pink Floyd. Maybe a tad...umm...dark. If you really need to ask your mum all these questions, chances are you already know the answer. Great song, though.
2. Mother - Danzig. Unless you have that kind of special relationship with your mom where she even considers heeding your evil warnings, you might steer clear of this one. "If you wanna find hell" with mom, play this one for her though.
3. Mama Said Knock You Out - L.L. Cool J. Whenever I hear this, I envision Mike Tyson walking to the ring, circa 1992. A visual I'd rather not share with my mom. She'd not be impressed.
4. Mama I'm Coming Home - Ozzy Osbourne. Written for that crazy wife of his (SHAAAARONNN!!), I'd just as soon leave The Osbournes out of my Mother's Day. If I'm coming home, it's probably because I got kicked out of my own house, & that's never a good thing.
5. Mama Mia - ABBA. Uh, long story here. You see, my mom is (was) an ABBA fan, and I used to have a crush on the blonde singer when I was a kid, so this song is OK for me, but not you. Chances are, your mom wasn't an ABBA fan or doesn't understand your fascination with Swedish blondes...especially if you're single and don't date much. If you're a female reader though, by all means rent the Meryl Streep flick, buy some bon-bons, and go see mom.
"The End" by The Doors probably wouldn't be a good choice either. "Mother? I want to . . ."
ReplyDeleteHow about "Mother" by John Lennon?
ReplyDeleteMother, you had me
But I never had you . . .
How about "Bohemian Rhapsody" ?
ReplyDeleteMama, just killed a man . . . .
Or, even better, The Who
"Mama's got a squeezebox, Daddy never sleeps at night" - yeah, that's the one
"Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" - another great ditty by Willie & Waylon
ReplyDeleteActually, "It's a Motherfucker" by The Eels would be a good choice as well. It's about the death of E's mom.
