"Baby" - famous Tropicália song
Dec 20, 2005, 13:50
I've just read that Caetano Veloso's song "Baby" is the most representative song of the Tropicália movement... The funny thing is that I'm burning a compilation (another one...) with diferent versions of the same "Baby" song. I love that song and I was glad to know that. I have 8 diferent versions of the song by now.

I wonder how many more versions of it were made? Any of you heads have the mentioned song? And who is playing it ?
Thanks.

Is that the one Os Mutantes did? I love that - especially the version when the woman sings.

Who else does it Carlos?

Yes, that's the one. The woman is Rita Lee. I have 3 diferent versions of the song by Os Mutantes, one by Caetano Veloso, two by Gal Costa, one by Rogério Duprat (instrumental) and another one by a portuguese singer I can't remember the name at the moment (shame on me). But there are more versions, probably.

I've just found that Portastatic (?) recorded a version of Baby. I'm so fucking curious about it.

Good one, Earl. I have the first Bebel Gilberto's album but now I know that her last cd has a version of Baby. Never heard but must be good for sure. Thanks.

Caetano V. and Os Mutantes did a live version together which was only released on a 7" ep in brazil. Do you have that one? It's better than either of the other Os Mutantes versions.

Yes I do. Gorgeous. Probably the best. It's available on A Arte de Caetano Veloso.

It's almost the same as the original. Still a good version though. Ther rest of the albums pretty great too (in my opinion)......

Baby
>> Caetano Veloso

Você
Precisa saber da piscina
Da margarina
Da carolina
Da gasolina

Você
Precisa saber de mim
Baby baby
Eu sei que é assim

Você
Precisa tomar um sorvete
Na lanchonete
Andar com a gente
Me ver de perto

Ouvir
Aquela canção do Roberto
Baby baby
Há quanto tempo

Você
Precisa prender inglês
Precisa aprender o que eu sei
E o que eu não sei mais
E o que eu não sei mais

Não sei
Comigo vai tudo azul
Contigo vai tudo em paz
Vivemos na melhor cidade
Da América do Sul
Da América do Sul

Você precisa
Não sei
Leia na minha camisa
Baby baby
I love you
Baby baby
I love you
