Title: The Drive, 5/8/09: Mother's Day!
Post by: RGMike on May 07, 2009, 09:45:28 AM
I don't think anyone's done a Mom set before. Suggestions?

John Lennon, "Mother"
Intruders "I'll Always Love My Mama"
Beatles (yay) "Your Mother Should Know"

I really hope Bob doesn't play "Bohemian Rhapsody" just cause of the "mama" part.

let's get nuts:
One Nation Under a Groove! -- or any Funkadelic from the Mothership
anything from the Mothers of Invention

ABBA - Mamma Mia

Styx - Renegade -- "oh, mama..."  fits into the Bohemian Rhapsody class -- mere mention of "mama"

And then there's the gawdawful Genesis-when-they-sucked song that's actually called Mama. I'd much rather hear Peter Gabriel's Mother of Violence.

oh we'll definitely get that one. Guaranteed.

Shirelles -- "Mama Said"
Supes -- "I'm Living in Shame"

would Bob dare play Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried"?

I like the Supes suggestion.  Also: Junior, "Mama Used to Say."

Junior, "Mama Used to Say."

OMG if Bob played that I'd fly to Chicago and blow him personally.  Not holdin' my breath.

Bob gots to have a "Mother Popcorn" for me. But I hope he avoids Crapton's "Motherless Children who have a hard time when their mother is dead, lawd".  ;)

But I bet we get Pink Floyd's "Mother"
Title: Re: The Drive, 5/8/09: Mother's Day!
Post by: Gazoo on May 07, 2009, 10:26:50 AM
Certainly rhymin' Simon's "Mother and Child Reunion."

I immediately thought of those last two suggestions (Floyd & Simon) and as I read further down the thread I was beginning to wonder about you guys, but finally there they are.

One more: Roxy Music's incomparable Mother of Pearl.

I'd never trade you for another girl.


(10 Frink points if you can tell me what they're singing about.)

Bread, "Mother Freedom"!

Schoolhouse Rock, "Mother Necessity."  (Where would we be?)
Title: Re: The Drive, 5/8/09: Mother's Day!
Post by: RGMike on May 07, 2009, 08:49:20 PM
How could we forget:

Stones, "Mother's Little Helper"
Ozzy "Mama I'm Coming Home"
EJ "Mama Can't Buy You Love"
Quiet Riot (or Slade) "Mama Weer All Crazee Now"
J-5 "Mama's Pearl"
TFF, "Mother's Talk"

Given the many options, it's amazing Dave never did a Mother's Day set.  But I hope Bob avoids "Motorcycle Mama"...

Webster & Co did a My 3 Moms around 6:30 --

"Mother Little helper"
"Mother & Child Reunion"
"Take Your Mama Out"

safe bet that Bob plays the first 2; I'll be shocked if the Drive's listeners even know who Scissor Sisters *are*.

It's "the mother of all 10@10s"!

Bob leads off with the Beatles, natch.

as predicted: Pink Floyd.

That's two in a row off of this list, and I really didn't expect the Ozzy.

Based on Bob's AOR-centric '80s sets, I'm not surprised by the Ozzy.  He knows who his audience is, for better or worse.

BOS2 and nicest surprise: Queen, "Tie Your Mother Down"!!

Beatles - Your Mother Should Know 
Loggins & Messina - Your Mama Don't Dance 
Pink Floyd - Mother 
Three Dog Night - Mama Told Me Not to Come 
Paul Simon - Mother and Child Reunion 
Rolling Stones - Mother's Little Helper 
Ozzy Osbourne - Mama I'm Coming Home 
Queen - Tie Your Mother Down 
John Lennon - Mother 
Beatles - Julia 

Very nicely done.  But Bob -- we all know what "Mother & Child Reunion" is really about.  Never heard that Vietnam theory before.

It should start with "Hungry Heart."
