Haley let us know that she was headed to labor and delivery later today, so in keeping with the hilarity around these parts, our Chief Content Officer, Katy Schamberger, who has a special skill when it comes to music (and lyrics) that is pretty much unmatchable, went to work.
She went straight to The Google for the best playlist on the planet to send to Haley as she’s …. well, doing what you do when you’re having a baby. And, of course, The Goog delivered.
So, without further ado, here you have it….

What do you think? Is it the best labor and deliver playlist ever? What did they leave off? Let’s hear it. And what’s your favorite? Mine is, without question, I’m Coming Out. And every time I think about that, I burst out laughing. Mostly with joy that it’s her and not me in the labor and delivery room.
Haley, we’re rooting for you! Push it, girl — push it real good!
PS And you’ve not heard anything until you’ve seen what Katy can do with parody lyrics for Sir Mix-A-Lot’s infamous “Baby Got Back” — that, however, you’ll have to stay tuned for.
