Take Your Mama
The second track on the debut, a UK single of March 29, 2004.
Scissor Sisters, from Scissor Sisters (2004)
Babydaddy and Shears wrote it, and the band produced it. Wikipedia describes lyrics in which a man takes his mother out to a night of nightlife. A trivia site says it was written at a horse farm in West Virginia, which we could not verify. The single came out in the UK on March 29, 2004 and reached 17 there, 11 in New Zealand (Platinum), 12 in Denmark, 15 in Hungary, 25 in Ireland and 40 in Australia, where it was number 23 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2004. In the US it reached 7 on Adult Alternative. It is UK Gold (BPI, July 2023). Billboard's Keith Caulfield called it among the most exhilarating singles in recent memory.
