The Masses Against the Classes, baby
Possibly one of the more obscure questions on here but does anyone know why JDB sings "baby" at the end of the first line of the chorus after the solo when they do the song live?
Is this a reference to some song or something?

I assume it's a reference to some fifties song considering the guitar riff is a tribute to Chuck Berry.

Just one of his little musical tics that develop

I think he started that at the Witnness festival in 2003 when the Manics had a very late slot and by the time he got onstage he was drunk off his ass

If Motown Junk is anything to go by. Baby means Lennon in Bradfield translation.

Thanks for all the ideas! I love the "baby" so much that I go looking for them on Masses performances on YouTube! Always so disappointed when JDB doesn't do it! Ha!
Think my favourite is Leeds/Reading 2008 probably. Last edited by Europa Gluten Free; 09-09-2020 at 20:09.

* Listens to the witness recording and is immediately faced with Nasmyth's circus organ being too high in the mix. Shudders.....
Great gig though...

The fairground organ in the verses was always the most perplexing thing. All he needed to do was play the guitar a bit quieter
