Quick post dedicated to all our mothers (although probably more so just a pretext to show you a v good video passed on by a mate that had me rofling my balls off – nice one Don!) Thought it’d be apt for the day thats in it and I can’t say I disagree with anything said in it either. So without further ado, I present to you, the one and only Mr. T with his seminal production of “Treat Your Mother Right.”
For those of you already familiar with this little doozy, I have another socially-aware number from the good Laurence Tureaud’s 1984 album, Mr T’s Commandments, that should put a smile on your face.

How much would I like to see Daniel O’Donnell cover “Treat Your Mother Right”? Very, very much indeed.
He’s done “Daniel in Blue Jeans”. Now it’s time for “Daniel in Hotpants”.
