Top Songs to Give Birth By

Posted on | October 13, 2011 | 7 Comments

Whoo hoo! Your water has broken, contractions are gearing up! Time to break out the karaoke machine. Am I right ladies?
Here are some tunes I recommend for your labouring pleasure.

Number 5: Everybody Hurts — REM

Michael Stipe is cuter and sadder than your baby. Adopt him.

‘Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Sometimes.

BOUNUS EPIDURAL TRACK: It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Number 4: Push It — Salt-N-Pepa

Oooh Baby baby
A, push it – p-push it real good. Hey! Ow!

…Better make it fast or I’m gonna get pissed!

These ladies know how to rock the maternity wear – any time.

Number 3: Welcome to the Jungle — Guns N’ Roses

Slash says: Take the drugs.

Watch it bring you to your shun n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n knees, knees.
I wanna watch you bleed!

(I also recommend singing along to the opening scream.)

Number 2: Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme) — John Williams

BUH BUH BUH
BUH-BA-BUUH, BUH-BA-BUUH…

(Let’s face it, you hear this music and you know big, bad, bald trouble is coming out of a hatch somewhere. *shudder.*)

Uh. They were out of storks in the giftshop *HKOH*.

Number 1: Ring of Fire — Johnny Cash

Johnny knows.

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring

And it burns burns burns,
the ring of fire
the ring of fire

    I’m saddened “Baby Got Back” didn’t make the list, but happy that “Bleedin’ Love” didn’t.

    Totally hilarious, Jana! And maybe “Big Girls Don’t Cry” could be a runner-up.

    I love that Darth Vader’s theme is in there, that is currently the #1 favourite at our house. It is played on the piano and hummed all. day. long. I never thought of it in terms of having the kids but I can totally see it.

    I was hummin’ the Cash tune the entire last three months :) . I STILL think you’re a genius, in case there was ever any doubt.
