Namechecking the whole family

Simon Moffatt's picture

Just listening to Beth Rowley from one of the old Word discs singing "Nobody's fault but mine".
Three verses that mention "mother", "father" and "brother" which is fine, but there are lots of songs that do the whole set of father/mother/sister/brother (usually in that order for rhyming purposes.
My question is: who's gone that bit further?

Madness did pretty well with Embarrassment: you get aunt,uncle, dad and mum

Who, though, has shoehorned the *most* of their family into a song.

Another Irish Drinking Song...

...by DaVinci's Notebook features a wide range of extended family. All dead though.

Nice one

I reckon that takes the prize. Lovely bit of Indian accent in the middle too.

I'm never sure...

...whether it is supposed to be an Indian accent or is just a very bad attempt at an Irish one. I do think that inclusion of a 'great grand uncle' sets the bar though.

And I suppose we'd better have this:
