“Baby on board, something, something Burt Ward. This thing writes itself.”

Call it a gross exaggeration if you must, but men wouldn’t be the best when it comes to buying gifts for any occasion, let alone to mark the arrival of a new baby for a friend or relative. JOE reader John Maher has managed to buck that trend, and in some style too. When his co-worker and friend David and his partner Shauna had a baby recently, John didn’t want to give them any old gift to mark the occasion, but instead prepared a very special tribute. Even the most casual of Simpsons fans will recognise ‘Baby On Board’, the ditty from the excellent Homer’s Barbershop Quartet episode and, using a toy spud to represent the new arrival, John paid tribute to the newest member of the family with a note-perfect cover version and new music video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzqgAhWKCvc Clip via John Maher A call from super-agent Nigel is surely just around the corner after a performance like this. One more listen to the original? Oh go on then... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pURFU3pL93o Clip via Juan Milo Got a story for JOE? Email us: Hello@JOE.co.uk, or message us on Facebook
