Talking about the song "cats in the cradle" and Mrs 2CV asks who it's by. When I tell her Cat Stevens she says "oh I think I've heard of her"!

Are you trying to suggest that using the shortened version of Mongol or Mongoloid which is what Down's syndrome kids were called years ago Ito describe the shortcomings of others is ok? You probably think saying Spaz is ok too.The home of juvenile behaviour.

Johnspex said:
that is a terrible and juvenile expression and I hope you don't understand its origins, if you did I hope you would be mature and sensitive enough not to use it.
I hope you never use the terms 'idiot' or 'imbecile' without understanding their origins, given the sensitive nature of their meanings.Edited by xRIEx on Sunday 17th July 20:53

No, it wasn't. It was covered by Ugly Kid Joe in the early '90s.
Cat Stevens did a song called Father and Son, which was released around the same sort of time as Harry Chapin's Cats in the Cradle.
I'm well aware who wrote it as I have the original by Harry Chapin, but what has Ugly Kid Joe got to do with it when it's been covered by dozens of other singers? I gave the OP the benefit of the doubt and said I believe Cat Stevens covered it not that he did cover it. I should have said "may have". And I'm not confusing it with Father and Son which I know well. Cat Stevens did a song called Father and Son, which was released around the same sort of time as Harry Chapin's Cats in the Cradle.
Mea culpa.

Interesting conudrum : It was performed by Cat Stevens, who is no more.
Cat Stevens is alive and well, but goes by the name Yusuf Islam these days.I was at a family party this weekend. Watched the (youngish) gran play swingball with her grand-daughter. The gran was batting forehand on the right-hand side of the lawn whilst the girl batted back-hand on the left hand side. The grand-daughter complained she couldn't play hitting the ball on the back-hand so they agreed to swap over.
They both walked around the pole to where the other one was standing before changing their preferred fore-hand/back-hand...

The Cat Stevens song was called Matthew And Son, not Father And Son.
(and they say the woman are thick.)
The Cat Stevens album of 1967 was called Matthew and Son, and featured a song of the same name. The 1970 album Tea for the Tillerman included a song called Father and Son.(and they say the woman are thick.)
(and they say the woman{sic} are thick.)
