Comedian Anita Renfroe went viral with ‘The Mom Song’ set to the ‘William Tell Overture.’ And now, it’s a must for Mother’s Day!

Christian comedian Anita Renfroe is hilariously down-to-earth. She tells stories about her life, which have her audiences rolling.

“I'd rather people laugh because they relate to something I say than because I wrote a clever punchline,” she says on her website.

And no doubt that relatability is the magic behind the parody song that put her on the map!

The William Overture Turns Into ‘The Mom Song’

There are just certain phrases and situations to which most moms can relate. And that was the impetus behind Anita Renfroe’s ‘Mom Song’ set to the ‘William Tell Overture.’

As the fast-paced overture plays, Anita flawlessly sings along with her cleverly crafted lyrics of “Momisms.” Barely pausing to take a breath, she lists off so many things a mother says to her children on any given day. Her pace is impressive, and her long list of “Momisms” is equal parts hilarious and relatable!

Anita Renfroe performed the ‘Mom Song’ at the Women of Faith Christian Women’s Conference in 2006. And when the video hit YouTube, it went viral almost immediately!

“Get up now, get up now, get up out of bed
Wash your face, brush your teeth, comb your sleepy head
Here’s your clothes and your shoes, hear the words I said
Get up now, get up and make your bed”

Moms everywhere heard themselves so accurately reflected in this song. The clever ode of “Momsims” launched Anita Renfroe into the status of Internet Legend. And years later, the hilarious lyrics still ring true!

The job of a mother certainly isn’t easy, but the rewards and blessings are well worth it.

Be sure to share this with all the mother figures in your life!

“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” Proverbs 31:28
