Mr. T has your Mother’s Day anthem in the most 80’s thing you’ll hear today

Mr. T regularly used his notoriety to share positive messages with the world through his TV work. Sounding baffling out of context, ‘Treat Your Mother Right’ is the most 80’s rap and shoop song that is perfect for those Americans celebrating Mother’s Day this weekend. The video in this post has a lot of VHS damage, but it is the only freely available full version of the performance. A shortened version has better audio quality.

So side step and clap to “Mother, there is no other mother. So treat her right, treat right. Mother, I’ll always love her. Mother, so treat her right, treat her right.’ The backing singers are also channelling “office workers who just want to be left alone with a glass of wine and a good book and kick the printer” energy. I bet Mr.T has more jewellery and bling than your mum, too. Enjoy…
