Tuesday Top Ten: Songs With "Mother" in the Title

Happy belated Mothers Day to every woman who has birthed or adopted a child. I managed to drop the ball on several of my Mothers Day present ideas for Jester. It turns out, it's a lot harder to find two frozen dead birds than you might think. Anyway, I have a great idea now, but I can't share it with anyone, and it will require some time to complete. This is all to say that this list will not have much analysis.

In honor of mothers everywhere, here are my top ten songs with the word "mother" in the title (this includes "mother's" or "mothers," but not "mama," "mom," "mommy," "motherless," "Mothra," or any other variation):

10. "I Want to be the Boy to Warm Your Mother's Heart" by The White Stripes
In this song, "your mother" sounds like a pretty big bitch.

9. "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadows" by The Rolling Stones
In this song, "your mother" sounds like a pretty big banshee.

8. "Mother Mary" by Foxboro Hot Tubs
Green Day's alter-ego busts out a great garage rock tune.

7. "Mother Popcorn" by James Brown
More like the Godmother of Soul. See what I did there?

6. "Mother" by John Lennon
A heartwrenching song, influenced by primal scream therapy, saying goodbye to his mother (who had been dead for over a decade at that point). (Not on Playlist.com)

5. "Mother" by Pink Floyd
"Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?" Yes. (Not on Playlist.com)

4. "No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature" by The Guess Who
An underrated song.

3. "Mother's Daughter" by Santana
Awesome song off of the Abraxas album.

2. "Mother's Little Helper" by The Rolling Stones
It's about DRUGS!

1. "Mother" by Danzig
The ultimate song about a mother's duty to protect her child, unless she has no problem with finding hell with Glenn Danzig.
