Songs about Mums

My mum came to stay recently. She’s the best. No, seriously, she is literally the best mum in the world. Sorry, other mums, but it’s true.

It’s weird… I’m now officially two years older than she was when she gave birth to me, and I was the youngest of four… Which inevitably leads to the next question… To baby or not to baby? Time she’s a tickin’, but baby’s can be trickin’. (Note to self: crap rhyme, doesn’t even make sense, no such word as trickin’.)

Oh well, that’s my deep emotional thought of the day out of the way…

What I’m really thinking about right now is replacing the word ‘mum’ with the noun ‘love’ in songs to see what ha!larious* results I can come up with. 

Let’s see…

 “All you need is mum (ba da da da da) All you need is mum (ba da da da da) All you need is mum, mum. Mum is all you need.”
- the Norman Bates theme tune; for those with serious mother issues.

“Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air, I know I can count on you. Sometimes I feel like saying, Lord I just don’t care… But you’ve got the mum I need to see me through.”
- for friends who should really be asking their own mothers for whatever assistance it is they require.

“Your mum keeps lifting me higher than I’ve ever been lifted before.”
- Mum’s a weight lifter who likes using children as dumbells?

“Mum is in the air, everywhere I look around. Mum is in the air, every sight and every sound.”
- Mum’s a pilot with a very busy schedule?

“Wouldn’t you agree? Baby you and me, got a groovy kind of mum.”
- these kids dig their mum’s hip style and funky dance moves.

“I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue. I’d go walking down the avenue. No there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do, to make you feel my mum.”
- ummmmm….. Pimp, that’s just wrong.

One more… “MUM is a many splendored thing.”
- someone admiring their mum’s rainbow coloured dress.

(*not a typo, that’s how I’m going to spell hilarious from now on because that’s how I roll)
