The Drive, 5/8/09: Mother's Day!

[RGMike]

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"?

[Gazoo]

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

[RGMike]

Junior, "Mama Used to Say."

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

[RGMike]

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"

[Gazoo]

Certainly rhymin' Simon's "Mother and Child Reunion."

[mshray]

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.

[urth]

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.)

[Gazoo]

Bread, "Mother Freedom"!

Schoolhouse Rock, "Mother Necessity."  (Where would we be?)

[RGMike]

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"...

[RGMike]

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*.

[RGMike]

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

Bob leads off with the Beatles, natch.

[RGMike]

oops! how could we have forgotten "Yo' Mama Don't Dance".
