    Having My Baby


    Having my baby
    What a lovely way of saying how much you love me
    Having my baby
    What a lovely way of saying what you're thinkin' of me
    I can see it, your face is glowing
    I can see it in your eyes
    I'm happy in knowin'
    That you're having my baby

    You're the woman I love
    And I love what it's doin' to you
    Having my baby
    You're a woman in love
    And I love what's goin' thru you
    The need inside you
    I see it showin'
    Oh, the seed inside you baby
    Do you feel it growin'
    Are you happy knowin'
    That you're having my baby

    Girl: ("I'm a woman in love and I love what it's doin' to me")
    Having my baby
    Girl: ("I'm a woman in love and I love what's goin' thru me")
    Didn't have to keep it
    Couldn't put you thru it
    You could have swept it from your life
    But you wouldn't do it
    No you wouldn't do it
    And you're having my baby
    Girl: ("I'm a woman in love and I love what it's doin' to me")
    Having my baby
    Girl: ("I'm a woman in love and I love what's goin' thru me")

    He's from Ottawa.

    Not that it helps you, but I just wanted to share.

    Reminds me of a '70s version of Neil Diamond?

    You don't need a '70s version of Neil Diamond when Neil Diamond himself was still having hits. (Anka was around way earlier, anyway...)

    i really don't know much of anything about this dude except i see his records fairly often and his name has similar structure to Paula deAnda's... so i tried to structure my post as similar to Raj's as a "joke" (a weak one, but i was also interested in finding if dude had anything worthwhile). fuddy duddy

    Well, he had a rare reggae album on Flying Dutchman that had a Bernard Purdie breakbeat and a Gil Scott-Heron poem...plus he produced a collectible yacht-rock album by Dirty John's Hot Dog Stand that heads are still checkin' for...

    Dude is cool.

    He wrote my way for Frank, has the voice of someone 40 years his junior and can stillrock a crowd albeit vegas style, but rockin nonetheless.

    and his permatan is unparalleled



    I ride for Paul Anka.

    Check this. The songs that work, really work.


    Smells Like Teen Spirit is the standout for me.

    ON THE REAL SIDE: he's singing backup on one of the songs on Stevie Wonder's Fulfillingness' First Finale (seriously, no relation to the joke post I wrote)

    I don't really check for his music, but I saw this insane movie
    from 1959 recently, "Girls Town" and he stars in it - along with a
    completely twisted cast including Mel Torme (as a sleazy hot rod gangleader!!)
    Mamie Van Doren, and a whole boatload of famous actor's children, like Robert Mitchum's son, Bing Crosy's daughter, Harold Lloyd Jr and Charles Chaplin Jr.

    It has this very disturbing rape scene (rape in 1959 B&W seems extra weird), and Paul Anka and Mel Torme have the funniest fight scene this side of "They Live"

    MST3K have an episode with it, as well -but it stands up on it's own as 50's hot trash.

    I was just going to mention Girls' Town. The Platters were in that movie, too.

    Not Paul Anka but a cover of one of his song I believe.

    I play this track out once in a while, the crowd go for it even though its in Japanese.
