This song brings back some fond memories. Whatever happened to the art of baby-talking your girl? Do any guys still do this today? I would baby talk my girl all the time when we were alone, and she loved it. I suppose any guy baby talking his girl now would be considered "odd", or maybe even a pansy. Then again, girls today aren't like they used to be. Girls back then were more feminine in behavior. Seems that today's modern female is more rough around the edges, maybe even tomboyish.
I didn't have room to add in my earlier post, whenever they performed in WI Dells it was on Father's Day. During their final show there I had a chance to chat w/Dean between sets, and I asked if the schedule was intentionally planned that way. He said not to his knowledge, but he thanked me for reminding him and said he would definitely have to remember to call his father later that night! Such fun memories....
When J&D were doing a series of 'reunion' tours in the late '80s, after Jan's recovery had progressed sufficiently for him to perform again, I saw them twice in Wisconsin Dells. My youngest child was 2 at the time; Jan asked her what her favorite J&D song was after I said she loved their music (he didn't believe me), and she responded with "Baby Talk". He was so surprised he sang it a cappella just for her. Now she's 25 and she still remembers that day!
@NadaTall That is one incredible story. I wish I could have seen these guys live...so many great songs. Jan Berry...Thanks for the music....Rest In Peace.
@Kcentral2013 Way to go. i'm almost 70 and i agree with you re both tunes. Love those song that 'tell a story' while they entertain. Check out other examples of this, from some very different genres; 'School Day' by
Chuck Berry, 'El Paso' by Marty Robbins, 'North to Alaska' by Johnny Horton, and 'Silhouettes', by The Rays. You won't be disappointed.
