Happy Mommy's Day- some songs

Yep, it's that time of year again when we honor our mommies. Far from being your average Hallmark holiday, Mother's Day actually has a long rich tradition.

In honor of that, here's some sites to find tunes about mama's (which also include weird oedipal dramas from John Lennon and Pink Floyd, plus some odes to pregnancy). To start things off, here's a nice old school classic, courtesy of the inimitable Mr. Fab Five Freddy:
