It seems that most of the songs that you hear these days on the radio played by the disc jockeys apart from rock n roll and other childrens' records tend to be motion picture title songs appa
Y producers feel that we will not attend their movies unless we have the titles well drilled into our heads in advance
Of course we don't go anyway but at least this way they make back on the song some of what they've lost on the picture with the rise of the motion picture title song we've had such hits in t

You're away ahead of me
Was that it did not have a title tune which the people could hum and which would make them actually eager to attend this particular play so I have attempted to
Y this and here then is the prospective title song from oedipus rex
From the bible to the popular song
There's one theme that we find right along
Of all ideals they hail as good
The most sublime is motherhood
There was a man oh who it seems
Once carried this ideal to extremes
He loved his mother and she loved him
And yet his story is rather grim
There once lived a man named oedipus rex
You may have heard about his odd complex
His name appears in freud's index
'Cause he loved his mother
His rivals used to say quite a bit
That as a monarch he was most unfit
But still in all they had to admit
That he loved his mother
Yes he loved his mother like no other
His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother
One thing on which you can depend is
He sure knew who a boy's best friend is
When he found what he had done
He tore his eyes out one by one
A tragic end to a loyal son
Who loved his mother
So be sweet and kind to mother
Now and then have a chat
Buy her candy or some flowers or a brand new hat
But maybe you had better let it go at that
Or you may find yourself with a quite complex complex
And you may end up like oedipus
I'd rather marry a duck billed platypus
Than end up like old oedipus rex
The out patients are out in force tonight I see
