A most obscure sample ID

Check yr PMs Kenny. Brisvegas indeed.

Some Greek film in 03 using what stock sound library sample whatever? Take a listen. I'll say no more on it, I just posted it for interest. It's there for your perusal.
 
There's actually a really popular American rock record from the 60s/70s (can't remember what) with that same baby sound... I've heard it on rapp records too and assumed that it was used from that...
 
an old stock sound
Yeah, isn't that like the go-to baby gaga recording? I've heard it used many times in music and movies. "Are You That Somebody" by Aaliyah, for example. Am I missing something here?
 
OK maybe I'm gaga. Would make more sense for dude to use said hiphop reference. Remarklably similar tho. Perhaps it's a "throat sounds at three months" thing where all humans do that then. Perhaps folkways should look into this.
 
my assumption is that most people sampled it from Perrey and Kingsley. I forget which album it's on, but they have that baby sound with other sounds from the baby. I don't know if that is the original. It's from late 60s.

Yes, the baby is on "Countdown At 6" on that Perrey/Kingsley LP, and that may well be where a lot of people who have used it got it from, but I'm pretty sure that is not the original source, and P & K "sampled" it as well.

The reason I say this is that I used to have this cassette tape when I was a kid with a recording of a sound FX LP. I used this tape for making my own mock radio programs with my two cassette decks and a microphone (ah, those were the days).

On this tape was all your usual usual FX (traffic, sports, fanfares, ambience, nature, battle and so on), including that particular recording of the baby doing its googoo thing, going on for at least a minute or so. Acapella, without music or anything in the background. I remember it very disctincly (especially that "aaaa-aaa"), because I listened to that FX tape a zillion times.

So, I'm guessing it must date back further than the Perry/Kingsley usage which is from around '66. Probably some old BBC late 50s/early 60s type of thing.

Haha, I love these nerdy sample threads. Where's Hawkeye and Easy Mo Bee's hairdryer?
 
Brian Auger & Julie Driscoll used it on one of their LPs.. maybe 'Street Noise'?

definitely the same one for "are you that somebody"
 
There ya go! I remember it as being longer, but that's the one. Now the question is, where does it come from originally?
 
For whatever it's worth, I'm pretty sure that someone in DJ Shadow's, um, organization is responsible for managing the Jean-Jacques Perrey catalog.

The real story, though, is Regina's "Baby Love," which utilizes the same sample to more devastating effect. I distinctly remember getting my inseam measured at some point in the eighties while this song played over the PA, making me only slightly less uncomfortable than being eleven years old and getting my hair cut languidly by a moderately attractive thirtysomething miss with Garden-Weasel bangs while "Obsession" by Animotion was pounding in the background. In both cases, the resultant feelings were a little difficult to process.

True.
