For example; your Mom fucking LOVES this song. And she's right.

Then one day in my mid thirties this song comes on the radio and I'm like, involuntarily bopping to it while working - Mom was, once again, right all along.

One day I come home from school and my mom is doing the entire Flashdance audition routine to this song... turns out Mom had excellent taste in music; at time time, neither of us knew this band hung out with the Cure on tour habitually because nobody else could drink with either band.

Took like a decade to pay off, but I was the coolest kid in school when I started jamming this on my Walkman loud enough for everyone around me to hear later in life.

First time I ever heard this was NOT on college radio. It was in my mom's record collection.

And I mean mid to late 80's "we're not doing Stadium Rock anymore" era Fleetwood Mac.

This for example, is fucking delightful.

This might be the absolute peak of 80's pop and also Mom Songs. Absolutely love the synth triangle btw...

I said "as if; you don't even know what OMD means..."

Without missing a beat she said "it means Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark you little shit."

Advantage Mom.

Right.

I know the lyrics to almost every Pat Benitar song because my mom sang them all when I was growing up; it wasn't until I hit about 17 or 18 that I realized it's because she should have gotten a divorce decades ago.

Well your favorite TV shows aren't. This is absolutely a Mom song (and a secret trans anthem) - y'all just borrowed it for the nostalgia TV series.
