Surprised to find only one comment on this song. Agree that it's definitely a strange song coming from a female, but its such typical Bjork. When I first heard it decades ago it seemed very Freudian, but now I mostly hear the Picasso-like juxtapositions and guitar-keyboard trippiness. In the same way the characters walking their dogs in the beginning of 101 Dalmatians stereotypically resemble their pet breeds, this song captures one stereotype of a mother in a visually perfect way. Amazing if you can appreciate the beauty amongst the harsh edges of the Sugarcubes.
