Music Trivia -> Lighter Side of Serious Bands -> M
Some bands don't wait around for Weird Al to parody one of their songs, and take a pre-emptive strike and write a silly song of their own.
"Mother," The Police
Possibly the most skipped track in the entire Police catalog, just a song about a boy's devotion to his mother. Or is it? Just try to figure out the time signature!

"Mother's Lament," Cream
The blues psychedelia of Cream, led by Eric Clapton's majestic guitar work, was briefly interrupted by this music-ditty....the last track on the classic album Disreali Gears. "A mother was washing her baby one night, The youngest of ten and a delicate mite. The mother was poor and the baby was thin, 'Twas naught but an skelingtin covered with skin. The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack. She was only a moment but when she turned back Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried, "Oh, where 'as my baby gone?" The angels replied: Oh, your baby has gone down the plug 'ole. Oh, your baby has gone down the plug. The poor little thing was so skinny and thin, He should 'ave been washed in a jug, in a jug. Your baby is perfectly happy; He won't need a bath anymore. He's a-muckin' about with the angels above, Not lost but gone before. "

"My Ding-a-ling," Chuck Berry
Though this is Chuck Berry's dirtiest song, it actually got on Dr. Demento's Radio Show.

"My Marge," The Move
This song has a Music Hall sound and even mentions that she picks her nose. I wonder if they hung out with the cast of Monty Python at the time.
