Da Big Mom Song

**Da Big Mom Song**, originally *"Ut Grote Mama Lied"*, is a two-part animated song VampireMeerkat made for her mother.

Both songs describe her troubled life and how she should respond to setbacks; urging her not to bother with anyone anymore.

The instrumental track of "Put a Banana in Your Ear" from Charlie the Unicorn 2 was used for both projects.

The original was a 2008 Mother's Day present, part 2 a late 2014 birthday present. While they were intended to be private gifts, her mother eventually uploaded the original to her Youtube channel on January 4, 2009.

Part 2 was finished on ‎September 29, ‎2014, but never received an official upload, until April 7, 2021, when the clip was shared on Dailymotion.

## Trivia

* There are a few references to VampireMeerkat's mother's interests;
	+ Eddy is her favourite character from Ed, Edd n Eddy, if only because the character is confident and smiles alot.
	+ She enjoys the Monk series.
	+ She likes (black) cats, though hasn't owned that many, relatively speaking.
* "Henk" is an ex-boyfriend.
* "Fred" is an ex-friend who borrowed and destroyed her car, together with a trailer full of her belongings. He and his wife then hid from her, while hospital bills were forwarded to her address and no compensation was offered for the car she had lost.
* *"I'm not your maid!"* and the demand to turn off the computer were common scoldings from VampireMeerkat's mother to her children.
* Ironically, *"Silence!"* was something VampireMeerkat would say to her siblings.
* An old cartoon representation of VampireMeerkat makes an appearance.
