Okay, okay, I know it’s not really a baby, but it sounds like it. (I used to play with my daughter when she was little and make her sound like that by putting my hand over her mouth and moving it back and forth while she jibber-jabbered.) Anyway, the song is basically an instrumental of some song from the eighties (I’m thinking maybe Beverly Hills Cop but I could be wrong) overlaid with what sounds like a baby jabbering. Does anyone know what it’s called?

That would be _Axel F_ performed by Crazy Frog. The song is basically _Axel F_ (the theme from _Beverly Hills Cop_) with the “Crazy Frog” interspersed, a ringtone of a frog-like character imitating a motorcycle.

Didn’t Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” have some baby sounds in the background? Maybe just on the album version?

Yes, it’s _Axel F_ by Crazy Frog.

Thanks, everyone.

Okay, that’s answered.

There’s also Ricki Lee Jones’s _Dat Dere,_ with her daughter babbling in the background. Every verse ends in “Mama, can I have that biiiiiig elephant over there.”
