The Rolling Stones wrote the soundtrack to this 1940’s advert for Parkinsons’ Pills -

I hear every mother say

Mother needs something today to calm her down

And though she’s not really ill there’s a little yellow pill

She goes running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper

And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day 

(Mother’s Little Helper 1965)
