Fatherhood seems to agree with Chasten Buttigieg if his Twitter jokes are any indication.

The educator, author and husband of Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg—who became fathers to twins earlier this month—had their Twitter fans laughing and good-naturedly groaning when he pitched a dad-jokey collaboration with drag superstar RuPaul.

In a tweet tagging RuPaul, Buttigieg pitched a children's themed retool of his iconic song "(Supermodel) You Better Work" that was the kind of groaner only a dad could come up with.

Buttigieg tweeted:

"Has @RuPaul considered a children's album? Because 'You Betta Burp!' has been stuck in my head all. darn. day. #DadBrain"

Buttigieg's joke was in reference to the song's well-known refrain in which RuPaul repeatedly tells us "you better WORK, cover girl, WORK, give a twirl" in the kind of voice that can only be described as commanding.

Over the years since the song's 1992 debut, "you better work" has also become one of RuPaul's key catchphrases, employed regularly on his TV show RuPaul's Drag Race.

Giphy

If it can inspire countless drag queens to be their best selves there seems to be no reason why "You betta BURP" couldn't inspire America's babies to have the "charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent" to find their gastrointestinal "realness," right?

Chasten and Pete announced the birth of their twins, Penelope Rose and Joseph August on September 7. And while, naturally, conservatives have thrown a fit about the two becoming fathers, they've been totally unfazed by the vitriol.

In addition to his RuPaul-centric dad joke, Chasten has shared several glimpses into he and Pete's new lives as fathers on social media.


Online fans of the couple have been absolutely loving it.

Chasten's RuPaul joke was no exception.









Working with babies isn't exactly on brand for RuPaul, but hey—as baby-centric catchphrases go, "You better BURP!" is a bit of an earworm.

Lorne Michaels Just Explained The Thinking Behind His Big 'Saturday Night Live' Cast Shakeup

Saturday Night Live turned 50 last year and a lot of former cast members and major celebrities joined in the season long celebration, but it's a new year and it's time to get back to business.

Which, with SNL, usually means some cast changes—out with the old (and sometimes not so old) and in with the new. Show creator and producer Lorne Michaels recently announced SNL would return on October 4 with a literal handful—five—cast changes.

Kari Lake Slammed After Warning Parents Not To Send Their Kids To College After Charlie Kirk Murder

Lake ignored the fact that Kirk was killed while speaking at a college, in this case Utah Valley University (UVU), the largest university by enrollment in Utah.

Vance made the claim after Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah—a Black woman—said she was dismissed from the paper following social media posts on gun control and race after Kirk’s assassination.

Trump Swiftly Fact-Checked After Making Bonkers Claim About How Many Americans Died From Drugs Last Year

President Donald Trump was criticized after attempting to justify the bombing of a suspected Venezuelan drug boat by asserting that 300 million people died from drugs last year.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump was asked about the order he gave earlier this month to destroy a boat he suspected of transporting drugs off the coast of Venezuela, rather than simply intercepting it. All 11 people on board the boat were killed.
