Early One Morning is the song which the First uses to trigger evil Spike in season seven. It is an old folk song famously sung by Sarah Brightman, who released it on her album ‘The Trees They Grow So High’ (Released in 1988, 1995 and 1998). The song was also used as the theme song to a Canadian kid’s TV show called The Friendly Giant that ran from 1958-1985. The original lyrics of Early One Morning are:
Early one morning,
Just as the sun was rising,
I heard a maid sing,
In the valley below.
O, don’t deceive me,
O, never leave me,
How could you use
A poor maiden so?
(Chorus)
Remember the vows,
That you made to your Mary,
Remember the bower,
Where you vowed to be true,
(Chorus)
Thus sang the poor maiden,
Her sorrows bewailing,
Thus sang the poor maid,
In the valley below.
(Chorus)

Question, is the reason that the song bothered Spike so much that he wasn’t okay with everything with his mother? And the reason it didn’t work anymore at the end of Lies My Parents Told Me because he was over the deal with his mom?

that is what i was lead to believe as he realised that it was the deamon in her and not his mother that was nasty to him, although that may not be right it is what i was lead to believe!

yep me too, the way I understood it was it didn’t work anymore coz he sorted out in his head the whole deal with his mother, and he got over it.
