I'm 74 and remember my father crying as he sang this song to HIS mother (Mamere Archambault) when I was about 4 or 5 years old.
I am 54 and can relate to the other responses more than your original message. Mother by Danzig is a great weight lifting song. I was just turning 20 at the time and really into lifting weights.
I have a vague recollection of the song you are referencing today though, so at least I am familiar with it!
