"I Got You Babe" is a 1965 number-one hit single by American pop music duo Sonny & Cher.
The song has been frequently covered and featured in film and television, including Sonny and Cher's own The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour. "I Got You Babe" made a bit of a comeback when it was heavily featured as Phil Connor's alarm clock wake up music in the 1993 movie Groundhog Day. The song was later covered by Cher in a music video that featured Beavis and Butthead as a rapt audience to Cher's performance.
