Oedipus Rex
Song:
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery and he walked on down the hall.
First he went into the room where his sister lived, and then he paid a visit to his brother, and then he walked on down the hall.
And he came to a door, and he looked inside. Father? Yes, son? I want to kill you. Mother? I want to F*CK YOU!!!

A euphemism for motherfucker, along the lines of sugar honey iced tea, since Oedipus literally was a mother fucker (and a father killer).
