This week on the Friday 5 we are celebrating Moms. I think this proved out to be a really fun week and I have some good variety. Here are my 5 picks:
- Mama Says from Footloose: The Musical- A really fun little song about listening to your Mom!
- Mother and Child Reunion from Paul Simon- I love Paul Simon’s song writing and it is on display here. It’s a mother and child reunion and the power of that relationship.
- Just a Housewife from Marilyn Mathis, Not Just a Housewife- I wanted to have one song defending the life of a homemaker. This song does a great job with that and I wish I could have included the entire song.
- Your Mother from Kathryn Beaumont and Peter Pan- Kathryn is one of the best vocalists in Disney history and even though I’m not the biggest Peter Pan fan she sings this song beautifully.
- Mama Says from The Shirelles- A classic Motown song about listening to your Mom on the bad days!

No “Mother Knows Best” from Tangled? 😉
“Goodbye’s The Saddest Word” by Celine Dion is my favourite. There’s also “Evacuee” by Enya, about a child having to leave their mother.
Good ones. I’ve already used Mother Knows Best for best Disney villains
I love Mama Says by The Shirelles, it always reminds me of the film One Fine Day!
