Baby Baby (The Vibrators song)

"Baby Baby" was written by Ian 'Knox' Carnochan, the Vibrators' primary songwriter. The song was recorded and released as a single in May 1977. It was their first single released on Epic Records, with their previous singles having been released on RAK. The song on the B-side was "Into the Future".^[1][2]

One month later, in June 1977, the song was included in the release of their debut album, Pure Mania. The song was included in a session for John Peel at Radio 1.

The song has since been featured on numerous 'best of punk' compilation albums, including Punk: The Early Years and Punk's Not Dead - 30 Years of Punk, as well as compilation albums containing only Vibrators tracks.^{[citation needed]}

When Knox was interviewed for Punk77 in 1999 he said, "My favourite Vibrators' song has to be "Baby Baby". I always think when I play it is like being on holiday."^[3]

The song has been covered by R.E.M., Forgotten Rebels, Die Toten Hosen, Soul Asylum, and others. ^[4][5]
