    I think the last question may be bank. It's near where I work. Will double check with my colleagues!
    nothing to see here, move along...
  • Question 3: (WARNING, THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER)

    The word baby appears 38 times in this. It doesn't include the soundtrack, so 38 doesn't include the number of times "baby" is *sung*, if it is sung at all.


    EDIT: LIES!!!! It *does* include words from songs, so the answer is probably 38

    it was sung I believe on the following tracks:

    Hey baby

    and be my baby

  • Thanks Dipsy..

    But, stupid me, I didn't even check if the words to the songs were in there... They ARE! *hits head*
    - How you call your lover boy?
    - Come here, lover boy.



    - And if he doesn't answer?
    - Oh, lover boy.



    - And if still doesn't answer?
    - I simply say...



    Baby



    O-Oh, baby



    My sweet baby</pre>

    Etc :)

    no problem....

    however, as the word baby is said 36 times in the songs alone..... would it not be higher than 38?

    anyone know?
