FAQ – Get a Prenup
Why is there a picture of David Hasselhoff in the video? – My inspiration for this video is my friend The Hoff, who recently asked for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. The female character in the video is based strongly on his fiancée.
Do I really need a prenup? – I believe almost anyone would benefit from a prenup if they are getting married, even if they have no money at all or are even buried in debt. Come back for my article tomorrow explaining more about why it’s a good idea.
That girl was hot! Can I get her phone number? – No. She’s a very talented actress who only dates celebrities.
Where can I download the song? – Right here. All my music can be downloaded free on my Downloads page. Download all the songs and make a mix tape for a sensual evening with your lady.
Lyrics
You’ve got a big fat amount
in your checking account and
a nice house on a quiet street
You got a job that pays nicely
A car that’s pricey
And a 52 inch TV
You been seeing this lady
Thinking that maybe
“She might be the one for me”
Her smile is gorgeous
Chest is ginormous
You’re going down on one knee
To ask “will you marry me?”
There’s just one more thing you need
You gotta get a pre-nup, oh,
You can’t let your guard down, eh.
you gotta get a pre-nup, oh,
And you can’t let your guard down, eh.
I know it’s hard, know its hard,
To convince her to sign
But you gotta get a pre-nup, oh,
And you can’t let your guard down, eh.
You know I’m so happy for you
but I must implore you
What happens if she says goodbye?
I’m not being pessimistic
Just realistic
Divorce rate is pretty high
You don’t wanna be lonely
Paying alimony
While she’s seeing other guys
You need to get a lawyer
So you can destroy her
If she changes her mind
And decides not to be your wife
She can break your heart but you can make her pay the price
That’s why you need a prenup, oh,
Or else you’re gonna get burned, eh.
Cause you don’t wanna give up, oh,
Half of everything that you’ve earned, eh.
I know it’s hard, to be smart
When love makes you blind
But you gotta get a prenup, oh,
And you can’t let your guard down, eh.
Vows say ‘till death do us part
But if she has a change of heart
You’ll keep what you had from the start
Prenuptuals, say where the money goes
And if she does just what she said
And loves you till you’re old and dead
The prenup will never be read
It was worth the time for peace of mind
You should really get a prenup
One day you might realize
The person that you once loved
Is now the person that you despise
I know it’s hard, to leave when
your net worth’s on the line
That’s why you need a prenup, oh,
You can’t let your guard down, eh.
Get a prenup, oh,
You can’t let your guard down, eh.
Get a prenup, oh,
You can’t let your guard down, eh.
Get a prenup, oh,
You can’t let your guard down.

Great job on the video! That must have taken a lot of work, but it is very entertaining. Can’t wait to read your post about why we should get prenups.
It took A LOT of work, but it’s nice to have it done and get some positive feedback. Thanks for commenting!
Nice legs, Kev (I think).
Nice and hairy!
Love it, showed it to the fiancee, not sure if she got my hint lol.
You are one fantastic dancer my friend.
Are you really gonna get a prenup? I think you should. Especially since you “own a business” with your blog. That can make things tricky in a divorce.
Bravo! That’s great stuff man, really original stuff.
Love it!
Thanks! Although, it’s only half original since I used the music of another song… but that’s just semantics…
Honestly I’m torn on the notion of a prenup. To me it basically sounds like you are betting that your marriage wont work, which I dont want to do. Regardless, this song has been stuck in my head all day, so great work!
Thanks! And it’s not betting it won’t work, it’s preparing for the worst in my opinion.
Not getting a pre-nup to prevent a divorce is like not getting life insurance to prevent death.
False. Death is a scientific fact, divorce is not…
Heh, those voice lessons paid off! Great job! Give your voice teacher some props!
Thanks. I think my autotune software deserves more credit than that teacher. 🙂
Awesome Kevin. Love your innovation and fearless creativity.
What’s there to be scared about when you dress up like a girl and post it all over the internet????
Awesome video! Wish you would bring back the hot girl though!
She’s definitely the best thing I have going for any of my videos. I’m working on it!
Insert girlfriend, remove Mitch Buchannon. Enjoyed it..
Is it sad that I had to google Mitch Buchannon to find out who that was?
Another awesome video Kevin – great job. I appreciate how much work must go into those things so I hope that every one you make is really successful!
Very funny!
Hilarious but I will debate with you my blog later 🙂 I challenge you to a duel.
Wonderful. Very funny. Your future wife needs to shave her legs!! Do you have that in prenup? Legs must be shaved. lol.
Flawless.
Oh. My. Goodness.
Hilarious. So glad you got a new video up. And, you’re right, that chick is hot. And slightly disproportionate.
Great video! You have a future at MTV.
Ah-May-Zing video! Also you have nice legs.
Love it Kevin, as always! I think I’m going to show some of your videos in my classroom and have my kids pick one of our FACS topics and write a music video. My students are constantly rapping and dancing so I bet they would do a good job and your videos would be great samples! 🙂
That would be awesome Katie! The younger we can get kids to understand personal finance, the better! Let me know if I can help in any way! And if your kids write a good song, maybe I can record it and make a video for it!!!!
Nice job with the scene at 0:53 where they both touch the paper. I had to watch it four times before I noticed the cut.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s just two completely different people sitting at a table… 😉
Dude, that was EPIC!! haha, i bet even kim kardashian had a prenup 🙂
The fact that you were singing in front of a framed David Hasselhoff pic will keep me smiling for the rest of the day!
Hilarious! I got here from another blog, but I’m enjoying checking out the rest of yours (and those legs).
That was pretty entertaining, and I’m all for prenups. But this seems a little excessive and maybe even a tad misogynistic:
“You need to get a lawyer
So you can destroy her”
As a woman, I wouldn’t get married without a prenup, but I wouldn’t want to destroy anyone for changing their mind. And I hope my future husband wouldn’t want to destroy me either. If he’s even thinking like that, I probably shouldn’t be dating him.
Unbelievable video! Although I don’t necessarily believe in prenups, I may have to change my beliefs as a result of this video! Hilarious.
Does anyone know anyone or maybe you personally are going through a prenup process currently? Or maybe you wish you would have signed one or had a bad experience with one? Whatever it is, I would love to hear from you! I work with a daytime talk show in NYC and am working on a show all about prenups. If you are interested please reply asap with your contact information. thanks so much!

Hey Kevin, I just wanted to say that every time I hear the original of this song, I sing your lyrics instead! Awesome.
