Whistle while you work

ailbheOK, 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.

Is that perfect for birth - I mean, complete with a metaphor for cervical dilation and/or opening of the uterus - or what? Looks like you can hear a sample of that one here. (My speakers fried when my computer was electrocuted, so I can't listen to it myself.)
The other one is Jill Sobule, "Rock Me to Sleep." At one point in my labor, I started crying when it got to the line "I wish I had my baby" - but it still really worked for me. You can download it at the link.
