This day in music history.

August 14, 1974, Paul Anka's "You're Having My Baby," goes gold despite its denouncement by feminists. The song would make it to Number One by the end of the summer and is now considered to be one of the worst pop songs ever made. Odia Coates sings the female part, together Paul and Odia would have three top ten hits.
Having My Baby by Paul Anka
Him: Havin' my baby
What a lovely way of sayin'
How much you love me
Havin' my baby
What a lovely way of sayin'
What you're thinkin' of me
I can see it, face is glowin'
I can see in your eyes
I'm happy you know it
Him and Her: That you're havin' my baby
Him: You're the woman I love
And I love what it's doin' to ya
Him and Her: Havin' my baby
Him: You're a woman in love
And I love what's goin' through ya
Him: The need inside you
I see it showin'
Whoa, the seed inside ya
Baby, do you feel it growin'
Are you happy you know it
That you're
Him and Her: Havin' my baby
Her: I'm a woman in love
And I love what it's doin' to me

Him and Her: Havin' my baby
Her: I'm a woman in love
And I love what's goin' through me
Him: Didn't have to keep it
Wouldn't put ya through it
You could have swept it from your life
But you wouldn't do it
No, you wouldn't do it
Him and Her: And you're havin' my baby
Her: I'm a woman in love
And I love what it's doin' to me
Him and Her: Havin' my baby
Her: I'm a woman in love
And I love what's goin' through me

Him: Havin' my baby (havin' my baby)
What a lovely way of sayin'
How much you love me
Havin' my baby (havin' my baby)

Her: I'm a woman in love
And I love what's goin' through me...
