Talk:Hello! Ma Baby

General Talk

Removed the stub class, because considering the beefing up of the article, does it really need to be called a stub any more? More information, more citations...seems done! As a stub I mean.

Also, English subtitles added to the audio! Combined the sheet music lyrics and repeatedly listened to any deviations by Arthur. The sheet music has 99% of the lyrics in the cylinder recording, he changes it a few times.

In popular culture (aside from "One Froggy Evening")

The Simpsons

The song appears in an episode of the Simpsons, where Homer, Moe, Barney and a fourth one form a Barbershop-Quartet. --91.38.185.37 (talk) 01:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

You mean "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", Season 5 Episode 82: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer's_Barbershop_Quartet
The best of it clip I could find was here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_EKdhBFNh8

Spaceballs

Don't forget about chestburster scene in "Space Balls" :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.21.29.237 (talk) 12:17, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

All of this is moot if you don't have a secondary source. - NewkirkPlaza (talk) 16:37, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Influence

I have removed the section Influence. It has turned into a list not in keeping with MOS:TRIVIA or MOS:POPCULT / MOS:CULTURALREFS. Even the well-known WP linked pieces (Ives, Debussy) do not confirm claims. The section should require each entry to have a reliable source for verification. The template (which I initially placed) at the top of the section is meaningless unless editors create a section that other editors, wishing to contribute content, can see what is required. I have brought the listings here for anyone wishing to reinstate the section with reliable sources cited. Thanks.

Influence

• In Charles Ives's 1906 composition Central Park in the Dark, it is quoted frequently.
• The short piano piece The Little Nigar (Le petit nègre) by Claude Debussy from 1909 features a melody very similar to "Hello! Ma Baby" and may have been inspired by the song.
• It was also featured in "She's Only a Build in a Girdled Cage", an episode of F Troop.
• The 1987 American space opera comedy film Spaceballs featured an uncredited recording (from One Froggy Evening) of part of the song sung by a xenomorph.
• In the 2015 film Regular Show: The Movie, the song is starring J. G. Quintel.
• In the 2018 video game Red Dead Redemption 2, the song is performed by the character Robin Koninsky at the Théâtre Râleur in the fictional city of Saint Denis. Maineartists (talk) 13:30, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
