McConaughey Talks About DJing Camila's 14 Hour Labor

Posted by Josh loposer

 

Like lots of trendy ladies these days, Camila loaded an iPod playlist full of tunes that she thought she'd like to hear while she was in labor with son Levi. As a supportive boyfriend and father, Matthew McConaughey got to be the DJ.

Unlike some more common playlists loaded with calming, inspirational pop tunes like Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely," Camila apparently went with a playlist full of Brazilian tribal tunes to help her through the journey -- and apparently she's pretty picky about her tribal grooves. 

While Camila was the one doing all the pushing, McConaughey apparently found the task of DJing the even pretty exhausting as well:

“She was also really quick to say, ‘Skip that f–kin’ song!’ So here I was blazing through this playlist while she’s nodding her head yay or nay, and I’m like, ‘This next song better have that groove or I’m going to have to run across the bed and change it.’

Have you guys ever created a labor playlist? If so, what songs did you put on it. I know what my #1 pick would be: "Welcome to the Jungle."

My labor playlist included:

--"The First Cut is the Deepest" by Sheryl Crow

--Rammstein's "Du Hast Mich"

--"Move Along" by the All-American Rejects

--Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It"

--"We Are The Champions", "We Will Rock You", "Another One Bites the Dust", and "Death on Two Legs" by Queen

--"It's My Life", "Livin' on a Prayer", and "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi

--Rascal Flatts' "Life is a Highway"

There were a lot more, but these were my favorite during the delivery.  It was energizing for sure :)

I had a whole list that I picked before hand, but the only song I wanted to hear over and over was "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys! For some reason it worked for me!
