**Distribution Note**
As you can see by reading the rest of the notes, I really hate this damn thing. I hate it so much that it will NEVER be put up for download or distributed again, so unless you got a CD at AnimeUSA you're out of luck. Trust me, you don't want to see it. It's just that damn bad.

Making the Video:
----------------------------------
I made this in less than two weeks and it shows. Flaps were left all over, effects are seriously overkilled, and it reeks of suck. This is perhaps the worst thing I've made in over a year, I consider this to be down there with my first video and Just Another Trigun Video.
All the effects came from a desire to punch up what is, upon inspection, a lot of really dull footage. This did add some pacing but it looks ugly. I did it because VicBond007 told me to.
The idea itself came from a desire to do a new video for the con when I had two weeks left to make it - I had been working on an idea before I left for a study abroad for the summer and when I got back I had no motivation to work on it anymore. I started listening to all the music I downloaded after getting back (mostly stuff that we heard a lot in Austria at the time) and stumbled upon Kelly's overplayed tribute to Madonna. I started wondering about anime with pregnant people, and the one joke took off...
This is not a one-joke video. It's a drama video that revolves around a joke. People familiar with Tylor will understand that this comes from episode 21. For those who haven't seen the series I'll avoid spoiling any more for you.
What's this video about?
----------------------------------
Listen to (or read) the lyrics. It's about someone being knocked up and deciding to stick with it instead of taking the easy way out.
Commentary and Notes:
----------------------------------
I hate this video. I wish that I had an alternative, but it came down to either trolling Haru to Ashura (not favorable IMHO), sending this, or sending nothing, and I wanted to have something in this time. Man this video sucks, I don't know why anyone would bother watching it unless I asked them to make comments for me...I hope to get the source I need to make a better idea soon.
I also deleted the workfiles for this, keeping only the final HuffYUV export so that if for some reason I wanted to make a compilation with this later in a non-MPEG2 format I could. Sorry, no extras with this one!
Song Lyrics:
----------------------------------
Papa I know you're going to be upset
'Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm not a baby
You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what I'm saying
The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
We're in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe - please
Chorus:
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, oh
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...
He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I'm too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please
(chorus)
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please
(chorus)
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
(repeat)
Oh, I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don't you stop loving me daddy
I know, I'm keeping my baby
