Whistle while you work

OK, we've already worked on the pregnancy playlist.

Now I need a c-section playlist. The poor confused midwife today did mention that we can bring our own music or they often play muzak at one unless one objects.

I really want "I've got you under my skin," of course, but I don't have a copy.

And I do somewhere have "Alive and Kicking," thanks to the inimitable Simon Barrett when I was pregnant with Linnea. I wonder where it is?

I think Bill Hicks' "Little Miracle" sketch might get us actually thrown out of theatre, so perhaps I'd better skip it.

I like Vega's "Small Blue Thing" because it has always seemed to me to be about a child, or by a child, and it would remind me of Linnea, which would be nice.

Dominion/Mother Russia seems temptingly inappropriate. Also Frenzy with Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Mother's Little Helper (Stones). I will NOT take anything from RHPS however much I want to.

"You're my best friend" by Queen, and the waltz we had at our wedding, are definite possibilities, mind you.

I also like "Fat Bottomed Girls" but think I'd like it less half-naked in a room full of strangers.

Guns'N'Roses Sweet Child of Mine?

I should stop now. What do you think?

ETA: Mack the Knife - Eartha Kitt version? we have another but I forget who.

I love Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" for a newborn (by whatever method). Like most Dylan, however, best performed by someone -- anyone -- other than Dylan. :)

I think there's a Pretenders version, which I like in an determinedly unironic way. Can upload if wished.
