"Baby Baby" is a song originally recorded by English punk rock band The Vibrators.
"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]
