Hey boys, back from Australia.  Loved the baby post.  Nothing like a little 3-in-the-morning-strolling-back-and-forth inspiration.    The one that immediately comes to mind for me is this early power pop classic.    Derek, nice job on the Silly Baby posts, which admittedly the term baby does inspire.   (I always did like Wave Babies - like, seriously, I did - so thanks for bringing it back to life).   Cry Baby Cry is a great song, much unheralded in the Beatles canon, so good job there.   Some other goodies:

Baby You're a Rich Man - Fab 4
Baby's in Black - ditto
Baby Britain - Elliot
Baby Driver - S & G
Summer Babe - Pavement
Baby Boomerang - T Rex
And from the "only Brian likes this music" category:  You Baby, by the Turtles, and Still in love with you Baby, by the Beau Brummels.

Finally, a pretty cool late 60's cover (you can name that song in how many beats....?) from a band called Smith, which charted highly at the time, though I wonder if most of y'all have heard this version.   Cool period variety show video, hideous dubbing only adding to the charm.
