"Your Mother's Got a Penis" (referred to as simply "Your Mother" on BBC Radio 1) is a song by the British rap act Goldie Lookin Chain from their Greatest Hits album, released In November 2004.[1] The song reached number fourteen on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
With an accompanying video based on a supermarket theme, "Your Mother's Got a Penis" first appeared on their album The Manifesto.
The song's chorus is a sample of Greg Phillinganes' cover of "Behind the Mask" by Yellow Magic Orchestra, for which the song's writers Ryuichi Sakamoto and Chris Mosdell received a full writing credit.
The song was criticised for being "offensive to transsexuals" when broadcast on MTV. Ofcom subsequently prohibited the song from pre-watershed broadcast.[3]
