I think the world would be missing half the songs...

if the word ‘baby’ wasn’t around.

Far too many songs with ‘baby’ in the lyrics.

Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane/Starship) was infamous for her having a real ‘frenemy’ relationship with Marty Balin, and when she commented one day that she couldn’t stand love songs with the word “baby” in the lyrics, (so the story goes), Balin wrote the song “Miracles” specifically to spite Grace, as the word “baby” is used 30+ times in the lyrics of the song, and when the song was chosen as their next single, she was forced to sing it. :P
