Mr T: Treat Your Mother Right
Weird // Jim // 13th September 2006
During our soujourn last weekend to the Eastlands art picnic, Steve and I checked out VJ Hooker's YouTube Odyssey, a compendium of short films downloaded from the ubiquitous web site that is probably the main cause of lost hours in British industry.
The best bit was almost certainly this little gem, wherein the fool-pitying Mr T, wears an almost indecent pair of shorts and grunts out a soppy tribute to mothers all over the world.
The lyrics spell out the word MOTHER one tender line at a time. I was taking a swig of lager during the bit where he sings, "M is for the moan, and the miserable groan from the pain that she felt when I was born." Steve had to smack me on the back to stop me from choking.
The video has all sorts of cheesey 80's Reagan wet dream action going on, as horribly dressed kids are stage-school nice to their smiling mums.
You can see this masterpiece here on YouTube.
Plus you can get the lyrics from the MTBSOBSF web site in case you fancy singing along. Fool.
