"Baby Song" (1892 Wax Cylinder)


Playing Next: Lady B - To The Beat Y'all
Random Page  /  Random Song


Recording of an unidentified baby crying. At the end, a weird man goes \"BABY SONG, JANUARY 1ST, NINETY-TWO.\" I guess people in the 1800s thought crying babies were singing. Taken from a brow wax cylinder from the William R Moran collection. It was expensive for everyday people to record their own cylinders so this baby was probably fairly wealthy.
The \"song\" records the sounds of an increasingly agitated crying baby.
