baby is wonderful, i've only listened to the rest maybe once or twice and it didn't strike me as remarkable on its own terms (meaning apart from the album's origin story). though i should give the rest of the album its due

I think one of my record dealers is the guy who discovered this at an antique mall. I still love it. And yeah Baby is one of the greatest songs ever, but the rest of the record is tops!

I got really irritated with "Baby" on the radio today, kept hearing "you're so baby."

I got the impression most people assumed that was the actual lyric
― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 10 September 2019 23:01 (four years ago) link
i did.

oh wow, those aren't the words.
also "My Heart" is the best.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 04:04 (four years ago) link
"you're so baby" makes a weird elliptical kind of sense though.
― ban golf (jed_), Wednesday, 11 September 2019 06:20 (four years ago) link
i figured they were singing stuff that didn't make sense.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 06:37 (four years ago) link
like babies.
― ban golf (jed_), Wednesday, 11 September 2019 07:08 (four years ago) link
On Dean Blunt / Inga Copeland version they sang "you're so baby"
― PaulTMA, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 13:55 (four years ago) link
WAIT it's "yes oh baby"?? mind blown
― J. Sam, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 14:21 (four years ago) link

― J. Sam, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 14:22 (four years ago) link
Yeah, what the actual fuck? Song ruined. Cheers lads. It will always be "you're so baby" to me.

I guess this didn't get much love at the time but it's just as good as Dreamin' Wild, maybe better
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 10 September 2021 18:11 (two years ago) link
I like the immediate shift from 70s to 80s production values
Would be keen to hear this. Was hoping it would have reemerged by now:https://www.discogs.com/Donnie-Emerson-Can-I-See-You/release/18457453

I’m hearing “oh yeah baby”
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 7 August 2023 17:08 (eight months ago) link
Even clearer than on the original one actually.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 7 August 2023 17:09 (eight months ago) link
It’s an interesting story - and a very impressive and pure record coming from some teenage farmboys in the middle of nowhere who pretty much went full DIY with it:

I see why it would make an interesting documentary.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 7 August 2023 17:17 (eight months ago) link
Its a biopic with Casey Affleck, Beau Bridges and Zoe Deschanel

LOL
― budo jeru, Monday, 7 August 2023 23:20 (eight months ago) link
I don’t know if there’s enough for a biopic lol
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 8 August 2023 00:05 (eight months ago) link
my friend actually invited me along to a showing of that movie; i had other plans. i definitely thought it was a documentary
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 8 August 2023 03:21 (eight months ago) link
Getting padded out to make romcom vibes from the trailer :(
Hope Ariel Pink is in it
― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 8 August 2023 10:32 (eight months ago) link
Think I'll see this on the weekend. I love the song, like Beau Bridges, and thought Love & Mercy was pretty good.
― clemenza, Saturday, 2 September 2023 00:38 (seven months ago) link
The trailer, if you're still having a hard time believing this exists.
