Baby, Baby

Written in 1992 / Recorded in 1992 - 93

The tune was briefly written on one morning in the early summer of 1992. It was frustration caused by a girl that made me write this thing with non-thought-out lyrics to go with. It was coincided with a restart of my band called Elegance, with a new personnel that eventually renamed itself as Culotte within a few months. In the given circumstance, this tune was a handy stuff for the band to play because it consists of only two chords with plain time signature.
The song was first played live by the band on August 1992, followed by its official studio recording on October same year. Before we went into the recording studio, I have already prepared the piano and the strings' parts being programmed in digital sequencer, which hugely contributed for reducing the cost of recording studio. While Culotte continuously changed its personnel by the end of 1993, the song remained as handy stuff for rehearsing with new comers.

For making this video, I picked up the following four recorded materials of the song in order to remove stupid lyrics and make the instrumental re-mix presented here; (1) live recording and footage of Culotte from late 1992 or early 1993, which features the second guitarist and I play the electric piano, (2) official studio recording by Culotte on October 1992, which features me playing the guitars and programming of the keyboard parts, (3) live recording from a studio rehearsal by Culotte from late 1993, features a keyboard player on the electric piano and me on the lead guitar, and (4) my personal demo recording prior to the (2) official recording, which features me playing the all instruments and programming of the rhythm machine.
