In honor of Mother's Day, a song about mothers courtesy of... Danzig. On The Hot 100 chart for the week ending May 7, 1994 (basically Mother's Day weekend that year), "Mother" by Danzig was at #71 after reaching a peak of #43. The version that charted was a remix of the original album track from 1988; I tried to include videos for both versions, although I'm not 100% sure if the one in the second video is the actual remix or just a "live" version of the remix with crowd noises dubbed in.

Here's a song that debuted all the way at #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart in March 1998 and stayed at that position for six weeks. Not bad considering it came from the album that killed this band's career - Van Halen III. Down to #27 this week that year, here's the Gary Cherone-fronted Van Halen and "Without You".
