Not so much a mother-themed song; but quite a few years ago, a couple friends of mine wanted to pay tribute to their mother-in-law; so they pulled the old Ernie K. Doe song “Mother-in-law” out of the karaoke rack. How neither of them were aware of its lyrics was beyond me, especially since the song was more contemporary to their young adulthood than my childhood (being released in 1961) — and one of the two was a lounge singer in the city and the burbs for close to a decade; so I’d think he should have been familiar with the pop music scene in general.
