Posted by: nicole at April 28, 2004 12:41 AM"I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad..." But that might be a little old. :D
"Ode to My Family" by the Cranberries.
Posted by: Solonor at April 28, 2004 03:52 AMSong for My Father - It's an old jazz standard, and several musicians have covered it.
This is a Man's World, by James Brown - Despite the title, the most telling line is, "But it wouldn't mean nothing without a woman or a girl."
Color Him Father, by Keb' Mo' - His cover of an older 70's tune.
Ugh...what is that song!?! I think its by Celine Deion where she is singing about this person being like her hero, and like rawwr. I don't remember, but its such a good song.
Posted by: Liv at April 28, 2004 08:45 AMI'm grossed out. I thought I'd help you and typed "mom" in Kazaa to find a mom song. In stead of a list with nice songs I saw a list of, oh well, you won't believe the things people do with their mom's :)
