Top 100 Things the Singer's Mama Told Her/Him/Them

-1. If I would make the bed and watch the telephone
That she would send me out to get a chocolate ice cream cone

-2. I know you've been out again with Fred.

-3. ...ever since I was seven, "Hold your head up high"

-4. Go to school get your doctorate.
-5. Only Jesus can save us.

-6. There was a king who ruled the land
His Majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showered silver on the people

-7. Before I'm grown I'll find somebody I can call my own

-8. Pa and me, we give you room and bed

Haha, we just crossed in the post...

-8. "Look at this, you haven't done your bed."
-9. "That's a thing that you should do instead."
-10. "Try and get one thing into your head."
-11. "Pa and me, we give you room and bed."
-12. "Listen, I know you've been out again with Fred."
-13. "Don't you lie, your cheeks are blushing red."

Gonna be the death of you

-17. Fuck the world and be so aggressive. Be so fluorescent, watch these hoes 'cause they so obsessive.
-18. I'ma work myself to death
-19. Be careful how you play your cards

Does this mean that McCartney is actually Jesus?

I think Mary is not an uncommon name for mothers and others.

Miracle: Macca's Mom = Mary!

Yes, it's about his actual mother, whose name was Mary, and who died in the 50s.

Catholic woman called Mary, never heard the like.

When asked if the phrase "Mother Mary" in the song referred to the mother of Jesus, McCartney has typically replied that listeners can interpret the song however they like.

well, that settles it. He is Jesus.

Pretty sure he thinks he's more talented and worthy of love and respect than that.

That was miraculously quick, forks.

its the only thing i'm good at! maybe not, but some days it feels like it.

yeah amazing playlist, quite a hunting expedition

Just two days ago I was listening to a Philly Soul compilation when "Only the Strong Survive" came on, and I started thinking about how many songs involved what somebody's mama said. Quite a few, as it turns out.

i think another hundred should be easy to come by; i appreciate that people are posting interesting and/or well-known songs instead of just googling up a list.
