Don’t know why but I get up some mornings humming [this song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QN6p66AtDc) (orig version)… What other songs are there that’s about Love + Pregnancy other than [this one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6Mdr_eurec&feature=related) (lounge lizard version)? ---

It’s a little cheesy, but how about “Danny’s Song (Everything Will Bring a Chain of Love)” Written by Kenny Loggins, though the best known version was by Anne Murray. ---

Oh, and there’s also “Soliloquy,” from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical _ **Carousel** _. It’s about a man who’s found out he’s going to be a father. He starts out by boasting about all the cool, macho things he’ll do with his son… then changes tempo and mood, as he realizes the baby may be a girl and may need VERY different things from him (“You can have fun with a son, but you’ve got to be a FATHER to a girl”). ---

Not exactly a love song, but some dysfunctional love and pregnancy (and abortion!) feature in Unwritten Law’s “Shoulda Known Better”. So allow me to submit another antithesis to the OP… In the first verse: > [@](#): > > Little Bonnie, 'bout to be a mommy > Came to Californy with Johnny > They had a run-in with the law > She shoulda listened to her ma And then the second verse: > [@](#): > > Abortion clinic, shoulda forced the issue > But she did it with a hanger and some tissue > Don’t cry, dry your eye (she said) > I’ll be back on my feet tonight (she said) > I’ll be walkin’ the streets tonight (she said) > Cause these arms gotta eat tonight > > Then we made love like a couple of…drunk buffalo > Is that rough enough? > > It was the last time I’d ever see her > I tried to thank her, with gonorrhea > But then she split, and stole my sweater > Dude, I shoulda known better ---

> [@aerodave](#): > > Then we made love like a couple of…drunk buffalo I have never seen drunken buffalos make love but I kinda like the song as I’m a sucker for vibrator effect. ---
