What song makes you think of your parents?

When I was a young lad my parents used to sing this song to me when they put me to bed. At some point one of them broke wind and the verse changed from "in the middle of the night" to "in the middle of a fart" which a young James found absolutely hilarious. I remain a big fan of Joel to this day.
