Move over, Paul Anka. There is a new pro-life anthem in town, and not a minute too soon because "You're Having My Baby" came out over 40 years ago! Let's remind ourselves of the glory and perfection that was the song about how Paul Anka is super glad his woman did not put a coathanger to the fruit of his jism:
Sorry, Dok, I can only stand about a minute and a half of this drivel. But I think I can vote on which is worse, this or "Having my baby". HMB is clearly worse because it is competent and somewhat catchy. You can't just switch it off as an amateurish piece of crap. It's worse because it's sung from the male perspective, that the woman is "having my baby" as "wonderful way of showing how much she loves me". It's worse because they played it on the radio. A lot.
And once again I leave you with this Paul Anka cover for your amusement/horror. Click through, you know you want to. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I'm going to be an ornery little shit and defend Anka, just because. HMB is maudlin claptrap but it's a competent pop song and I think it came from a sincere (if misguided) place. And that gospel singer has some wicked pipes, even if they're being wasted here. OTOH, "The Best Part of Me" is straight-up antiabortion propaganda and so terrible nobody with a choice (see what I did there?) would give it a second listen.
Sorry -- Anka is still worse. People actually heard that one, by like listening to the radio. This one, they'll only hear on Wonkette or maybe LifesiteNews. But there's also this, as an antidote to both: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Admit it, though. The spectacle of The Donald burping into a microphone, all the time claiming to be hyoooger than Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Jenny Lind combined would be low comedy of the highest order. For the same reason, I wish somebody would whisper into his ear that he is a regular Mikhail Baryshnikov. "Dancing with the Bankruptees," anyone?
I only made it to 1:35. Does that make me a terrible person? Also, when she started to sing about "I thought I saw fingers" I flashed back to the scene in The Thing where they're dissecting the monster remains and Wilford Brimley says: "...That's not dog..."
Nope. "The first time I heard you..." and then I am done. Maybe that's unfair but oh well.
So I guess it's not Ben's fault that he's a stupid bigot. He was raised by morons.

I got 1:06 into it before I fought my way through the dry heaves to turn it off.
He approved it in Judges, also too...as a way to get girls.
I don't think either really reaches its full pro-life potential. I mean, imagine if there had been a surprise twist in the last verse:
"And to think that this babywouldn't even exist if that guy hadn't raped me!Praise the Lord for this gift."
Now that would have been powerful stuff.

Two words. Cock. Tail.Need some now

Shouldn't there be a version of Anka's masterpiece rewritten from the viewpoint of a hydrophobic rodent?
"You're Having My Rabies"
4th trimester and beyond abortion only! Everyone knows god looks the other way at that point.

I'm a terrible person.
LOL okay, I only made it to 0:38, so I guess this is actually nearly three times as bad! SCIENCE!
"Let"
YESSS! There are not enough upfists in the universe to adequately acknowledge your awesomeness for posting a Zappa palette cleanser...
