Ryan Reynolds picked a wildly inappropriate delivery room jam

Blake Lively had to learn the hard way not to let her husband, Ryan Reynolds, be in charge of the labor and delivery room soundtrack.

During a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the father of sweet little James explained, "I jammed a little Marvin Gaye’s 'Let’s Get It On.'"

And Blake's reaction? The Deadpool star had to admit: "It was like steak knives came out of her eyes."

The beautiful actress reportedly said, "Are you f***ing sh***ing me right now?" Which the first-time dad now can see was "real bad, yeah." Though he adds, "She was a mercenary. I think I just caught her right in the middle of a contraction."

Delivery room hijinks aside, Ryan Reynolds is absolutely, 100 percent head over heels for his wife and daughter -- and he sincerely hopes they'll welcome more little girls in the future.

"If I could have nine daughters, I would be thrilled," he recently said during an interview on SiriusXM EW Radio.

"Really, like I genuinely would be. My brothers and I, there’s four of us, we would destroy the house. I was 8 and I could patch and drywall at 8. We could actually repair an entire hole in the wall in our house within 15 minutes. That’s part of the reason I don’t want boys, because I don’t want a wiffle house. I just want the house to be normal."

Though I find Ryan's love for daughters endearing, I'm pretty sure that once you get five kids of any sex in a house things get pretty rambunctious! For my two sons, the wildness is confined to just one 30-45 minute period most days -- right at bedtime. Drives me absolutely insane that they turn into crazy wrestling monkeys every night, but I hope someday they'll have fond memories of pajama-clad shenanigans to look back on.

As for that song, all I can say is Ryan's story makes me laugh (because he and Blake seem to share the same sense of humor), but it's a good thing my husband didn't try any antics when I was in the midst of a contraction. I love a good joke too, but in the middle of feeling like my body is splitting apart my funny bone mysteriously seems to go missing.

What's the worst song you can imagine being played in the delivery room?
