Songs About Your Mama

"Yo' Mama" jokes used to be all the rage way back when, though they tend to fall a little flat these days. However – as this collection of songs will attest – "Your Mama" songs never go out of style. As you will see here, your mama does not excel at dancing, won't like your boyfriend/girlfriend, is capable of being both shocked and rocked, and is in serious danger of being murdered by Frank Zappa's guitar. Sophisticated stuff here. Enjoy?  ~  JH

2)  Poison  ~  "Your Mama Don't Dance"

3)  Maggie Rose  ~  "I Ain't Your Mama"

4)  Frank Zappa  ~  "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama"

5)  Tanya Tucker  ~  "What's Your Mama's Name"

6)  Suzi Quatro  ~  "Your Mama Won't Like Me"

7)  a-ha  ~  "Between Your Mama And Yourself"

8)  Debbie Gibson  ~  "Shock Your Mama"

9)  Ten Years After  ~  "Rock Your Mama"

10)  Little Texas  ~  "Your Mama Won't Let Me"

11)  Norah Jones  ~  "Tell Yer Mama"

12)  Amber Dotson  ~  "I Ain't Your Mama"

13)  Spin Doctors  ~  "Yo' Mama's A Pajama"

14)  Vanessa Amorosi  ~  "Kiss Your Mama"

15)  The Vespers  ~  "Tell Your Mama"

"32" Songs

As of today, my wife is 32 weeks pregnant with our daughter. So here's a collection of songs with the number "32" (or "Thirty-Two") in their titles or somewhere in their lyrics. I've finally reached the point where I can no longer find enough suitable songs to match the number of weeks, and that's okay. That I made it this far is pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!  ~  JH
