Ozzy wrote this for his wife, Sharon. "Mama I'm comin' home" is something Ozzy would say to her on the phone near the end of a tour. It was one of the first songs he wrote after getting sober. "Mama I'm Coming Home" is one of my favorite mom classic rock songs.

This one is actually pretty dark. It's a Roger Waters creation and tells the story of a man who lost is father in the war and has been raised by his over-protective mom, but now he feels isolated and is unsure of what to do about it.

This was Paul Simon's first solo song release. He wrote it in response to Jimmy Cliff's song "Vietnam" about a mother receiving a letter about her son's death in battle. Simon used the members from Jimmy Cliff's band to ensure the song was authentic.

While queen also have a song called "Tie Your Mother Down," I put "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the list instead because the main character is singing to his mom the whole time and confessing murder, because mom will still love you. Freddie Mercury (and the rest of the band) have never elaborated on the meaning.

Randy Newman wrote this song about going to a party that left a "bad taste" in his mouth. According to Songfacts.com, "Three Dog Night's lead singer Cory Wells said after it became a #1 hit, Newman called him and said 'I just want to thank you for putting my kids through college.'" Ya gotta love the royalty checks.

I hope you enjoyed my choices for song celebrating mom. I thought about including "Mother" from Danzig, but I tried to go for mom classic rock songs that celebrated mom or had good "mom value." lol so I didn't include Mother Nature songs either. "Mama Kin" was as far a stretch as I took for Mother Nature songs, but that could be a cool future list!
