From Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', let's not forget 'Mother', complete with the perfect cricketing reference: "Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?"
'Play Mumma, Sing Me a Song', by John J. Francis (Newcastle boy). The song was known to everyone by its first line, 'Play Mumma Play'. I'd always wondered what she was playing -- now I know.
Can't go past P-Funk's Mothership Connection (and you could - at a stretch - apply the refrain "swing down, sweet chariot, stop, and let me ride" to a batsman smashing one)
Another one I just remembered: From the Police's 1983 album 'Synchronicity', the (seemingly mandatory on Police albums) one track written by Andy Summers was 'Mother', which includes a line that always amused me: "Every girl I go out with becomes my mother in the end".

Solid reference, that... thanks for playing along

Seems that Mumma was playing T20 in Dallas needing at least 2 runs a ball...
