Many of these don’t techincally have “baby” in the title, just in the first line.
But there’s always **I Can’t Give You Anything Buy Love (Baby)** Especially appropriate if you’re giving someone a leopard. 😉
Also:
**Abie Baby** (original cast of hair)
**I Found a Million Dollar Baby (in a Five and Ten Cent Store)** by [Harry Warren](http://www.harrywarren.org/songs/0183.htm). Warren also wrote \*\*Baby Doll, Baby Have You Got a Little Love to Spare, Bad Baby, 'Cause My Baby Says It’s So, I Love My Baby (and my Baby Loves Me), Me and My Baby, \*\* and, of course **You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby**

Every Baby Cries The Same
- The Make Up
Doesn’t matter if they’re big. Fat babies
Doesn’t matter if they’re small. Thin babies
Doesn’t matter if they’re sophisticated. City babies
Or if they are all country. Country babies
Oh baby at least to me
At least to these ears
Every baby. Every baby cries the same

**Baby, baby, Don’t Get Hooked on Me** - Mac Davis (I think)
Crap - now it’s gonna get stuck in my head for the rest of the day…

I wish I could include that. I truly do, and many of the others listed here. I just don’t think they’d go over too well with the crowd I’ll be working with.
So far, probable inclusions are:
My Baby Does The Hanky Panky – Tommy James & The Shondells
Ooh Baby Baby – Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
Baby, Baby Don’t Cry – Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
Don’t Worry, Baby – The Beach Boys
I Got You Babe – Sonny & Cher
Stay Up Late – Talking Heads
Baby, I Need Your Loving – The Four Tops
Baby, Now That I’ve Found You – The Foundations
(You’re) Having My Baby – Paul Anka
Baby, I Love You – The Ronettes
Baby, It’s You – The Shirelles
Baby Love – The Supremes
Maybe Baby – Buddy Holly
Too Busy Thinking About My Baby – Marvin Gaye
I can’t hear “Baby Come Back” without thinking of Homer hearing it while on hold with 911 when Maggie was missing.

One that I actually dedicated on the air to my niece when she was born back in '75:
\*\*Star Baby – The Guess Who \*\*
and some more obscure titles, mostly from the bottom half of the Hot 100
I Call My Baby Candy - Jaggerz (1970)
I Can’t Wait Until I See My Baby - Baby Washington (1964)
I Dig You, Baby - Jerry Butler (1967)
I Don’t Want to Lose You, Baby - Chad & Jeremy (1965)
I Love My Baby - Jill Corey (1957)
I Love My Baby (different song) - Archie Bell & the Drells (1969)
I Love You, Baby - Paul Anka (1957)
I Miss You, Baby - Millie Jackson (1973)
I Want My Baby Back - Jimmy Cross (1965)
I Want to Love You, Baby - Scott & Benson (1969)
I Want You to Be My Baby - Georgia Gibbs (1955)
same song also charted same year by Lillian Briggs
and again in 1967 (though peaking at #83) by Ellie Greenwich
I Want You to Meet My Baby - EydieGorme (1964)
I’m Crazy About My Baby - Marvin Gaye (1963)
I’ve Got a Thing About You, Baby - Elvis Presley (1974) (#39)
same song in 1972 by Billy Lee Riley reached #92
I’ve Got Love For My Baby - Young Hearts (1968)
Is You or Is You Ain’t My Baby - Buster Brown (1960)
Good luck on finding any of these, except possibly the Elvis and the Georgia Gibbs songs. The latter bumped into the top 20.

To songs come to mind. They are at the opposite ends of the pop music spectrum.
Baby Baby, Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat by Herman’s Hermits.
Wango Tango, live version, by Ted Nugent. He must say baby 50 times in that song.
