Question: Vasectomy mixtape!

Vasectomy mixtape!

My best friend is about to get his vasectomy. I want to make him a mixtape as a gesture of congratulations, as he and his equally childfree wife are currently in a state of unbridled excitement about finally getting it done. Any clever ideas for songs (especially in the genre of punk)? For example, he often jokes about the Adolescents song "I Hate Children", so I'll probably use that one, among others.

(By the way, I'm posting anonymously because his vasectomy is on the DL and I don't want to let the secret slip to those who might recognize my username and connect us.)

Circle Jerks - "Operation"

I went to see a rabbi
but despite his advise
I want an operation
I will not father life
operation, operation
snip & tie, snip & tie
they send me to a preacher
a really toughtful guy
he said my idea's crazy
I shouldn't even try
this operation, operation
snip & tie, snip & tie
but i've just seen a surgeon
and with a knife he cut
I cannot bring you children
this world is such a rut
operation, operation
snip & tie, snip & tie
I had an operation
a statement of our times
they tied my balls together
what's insides not alive

Because I have morbid sense of humor:
Angry Inch from Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Cuts You Up - Peter Murphy
Chop Chop from The Wicker Man Soundtrack (the original 1973 version)

Maybe:
Inner Peace - Nelly McKay
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue - Bob Dylan

Turbonegro - I Got Erection

Ich bin geil!

ARGHHHHH

Everytime I walk down the street - Erection
When I see a woman that I'd like to beat - Erection
When I think of blood I think of love - Erection
When I think of blood I think of love - Erection

Oh, I got Erection
Oh, I got Erection
Oh, I got Erection
Oh, I got Erection

When I set a house on fire - Erection
Once a liver, now she's a dier - Erection
When I dig a hole in the ground - Erection
When I hear that death punk sound- Erection

Oh, I got Erection
Oh, I got Erection
Oh, I got Erection
Oh, I got Erection

At least one thing by The Tubes should be on your list. "Don't Touch Me There" might be good.

PP Arnold - The First Cut is the Deepest

If you've got a morbid sense of humor (and it sounds like you do), you could go with The Velvet Underground's Lady Godiva's Operation. I'm sure a story of a botched sex-change/lobotomy will steel his nerves.

Also:
Brian Eno - Blank Frank (riffing on "shooting blanks")
Iron and Wine - Free Until They Cut Me Down
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Sowing Seeds
Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Love Comes in Spurts
The Cult - Love Removal Machine

I guess songs in Spanish wouldn't work, right? Because "Basta de nacimientos" by Madrid hardcore band Def Con Dos would fit like a charm. Just suggesting this one on the off-chance that your friend speaks Spanish.

Sorry for the length, the bolded ones are my top choices.

Bad Religion:
- The Quickening [We have the obvious reference to pregnancy, plus bonus reference to Highlander, wherein the quickening is the event that happens when an immortal is beheaded!]
- Only Entertainment
- Struck a Nerve
- 1000 More Fools [It's actually a song about overpopulation! Sorta]
- Give You Nothing
[there's more by them. Plus, you asked for punk]

Barenaked Ladies:
- One Little Slip

Bob Dylan
- Just Like a Woman

Cloud Cult
- Most of the album "Who Killed Puck", but note that IIRC, it was written in response to the singer's young son dying, so it might be in bad taste

Da Vinci's Notebook
- Enormous Penis [not QUITE about vasectomies, but hey]

Dead Kennedys
- I Kill Children. Done and done.

Dropkick Murphys
- Bill's Bones. [If his name is Bill. Really now.]

DVDA
- Now You're A Man!

Eels
- Abortion in the Sky

Electric Six
- Rip it! [sweet baby james]
- Future Boys
- Slices of You

Great Big Sea
- Consequence Free

k-os
- [I'm not the] Man I Used to Be

Nine Inch Nails
- Mr. Self Destruct
- The Art of Self Destruction
- The Beauty of Being Numb
- Even Deeper
- Somewhat Damaged
- Something I can Never Have [probably the best if you must choose only one of NIN's)
- Demon Seed

Porcupine Tree
- Sever Tomorrow
- Stop Swimming

Primus
- The Final Voyage of the Liquid Sky [I just like the metaphor of "liquid sky"]
- Too Many Puppies
- Here Come the Bastards [maybe hold on to this one just in case vasectomy doesn't take/she gets pregnant?]

Queens of the Stone Age
- Suture Up Your Future

Radiohead
- No Surprises

They Might Be Giants
- How Can I Sing Like A Girl?
- They'll Need A Crane [pair with "Enormous Penis" for best effect]
- Rabid Child

White Stripes
- Ball & Biscuit
- Blue Orchid [what with Polyorchidism and all

And I'm surprised nobody had mentioned Juicy Karkass - Punch 'Em In The Dick
