Cat's in the Cradle and the Silver Spoon

Cat's in the Cradle and the Silver Spoon

Why am I quoting 'Cat's in the Cradle' by Harry Chapin (we prefer the Ugly Kid Joe Version)? Well on Sunday 17th June we celebrate Father's Day, a day when Dads get treated and they get reminded just how special they are. 'Cats in the Cradle' is about an awkward relationship between father and son... so perhaps not the best example of a loving dad song, but you get the sentiment!
