How many songs mentioning 'baby' are really written to babies?
For all the rest of them, why is the word there? It gives the image (especially to the fatally literalist like myself) of a baby,...

I had to get a picture of a baby on purpose to make the avatar. Brave, brave me.

    Why would anyone use baby as a term of endearment? Babies are defenseless and smelly! It's an insult!!

    [2] The baby feels merged with the mother, and its trust of others develops as the baby is held and nurtured with a sugary food, milk. Being loved, cared for, and fed are mentally associated in the mind and wired together in the brain in our first formative experience after birth. When adults talk baby talk, using words such as "sweetie pie" and "baby" to address each other, and give their conversation an oral flavor, they are, according to Freud, "regressing," moving from mature mental states of relating to earlier phases of life. In terms of plasticity, such regression, I believe, involves unmasking old neuronal pathways that then trigger all the associations of that earlier phase. Regression can be pleasant and harmless, as in adult foreplay, or it can be problematic, as when infantile aggressive pathways are unmasked and an adult has a temper tantrum. " So there you go, haha.

    [1] "Anyone have a theory on the origin of this phenomenon?" Funny that I came across this group and that question today because I recently read Norman Doidge MD's book 'The Brain That Changes Itself' which gives an insight into this whole topic in the chapter 'Acquiring Tastes and Loves'. From pages 99 and 100: "Traces of childhood sentiments in adult love and sexuality are detectable in everyday behaviors. When adults in our culture have tender foreplay, or express their most intimate adoration, they often call each other "baby" or "babe". They use terms of endearment that their mothers used with them as children, such as "honey" and "sweetie pie," terms that evoke the earliest months of life when the mother expressed her love by feeding, caressing, and talking sweetly to her baby - what Freud called the oral phase, the first critical period of sexuality, the essence of which is summed up in the words "nurturance" and "nourish" - tenderly caring for, loving, and feeding.

    Perfectly fine songs can be totally ruined by this word. Sometimes you can mishear the lyrics on purpose though... Like in Bowie's 'Breaking Glass' I intentionally hear "Lately, I've been..." rather than "Baby, I've been...". Makes it a lot better!

    For my own terms, I wish to add 'unless it's used by the Manics, because then it's Nicky saying it about Richey and it's adorable'. ^___^ xx
