#BABY BLUE SONG GROUP SERIES#
The song experienced a resurgence of popularity in 2013 when it was featured in the television program Breaking Bad during the closing scene of the series finale. Although the single was assigned a release number for the UK (Apple 42), and had a scheduled release date of 10 March 1972, "Baby Blue" was never actually released as a single in the UK. While Apple US gave the song a picture sleeve and a remix to ensure that it was a hit, Apple UK remained unaware of its commercial potential. However, the chaos that was enveloping the Apple UK operation at the time was strongly evident with regard to this song. It was the group's last Top 20 single, peaking at #14 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. Because Al Steckler, the head of Apple US, felt that it needed a stronger hook in the opening, he remixed the track with engineer Eddie Kramer in February 1972, applying heavy reverb to the snare during the first verse and middle eight. "Baby Blue" was released as a single in the US on 6 March 1972, in a blue-tinted picture sleeve and featuring a new mix. Ham composed the song on acoustic guitar and Molland claims to have helped streamline the song's linking parts. I don’t know whether they fell in love straight away, but he invited her on the road with us and she came along." Ham ultimately ended the relationship, partially as a result of Armstrong's lack of interest in Badfinger's recording and touring activities. Guitarist Joey Molland recalled, "She came to one of the shows, they got talking and Pete really liked her.
They couldn’t move her body because something large and invisible was pinning her to the ground.Ham wrote the song about a woman named Dixie Armstrong, whom he had dated during Badfinger's last US tour. When they broke open the door, they found Laura lying dead on the bathroom floor. Finally, they managed to run to a friends’s house to get help. When Laura’s friends heard her screaming, they tried to open the bathroom door, but it was locked. Suddenly, she caught sight of something horrible in the bathroom mirror and screamed in terror. She just stood there holding the invisible baby as it grew heavier and heavier.
She wanted to drop it and run, but she was afraid of what might happen. Laura was scared out of her wits and had no idea what to do. Laura put out her arms and started chanting the phrase “Blue Baby, Baby Blue”.Īll of a sudden, a baby appeared in her arms and began scratching her. She turned the lights off and closed the door behind her. They didn’t believe it would work, so they sent their friend Laura into the bathroom on her own. Some people believe the woman is Bloody Mary and she murdered her own child when she shattered a mirror and used a piece of broken glass to stab him to death.Īccording to the urban legend, a group of girls found out about the blue baby story and decided to try it out. If you are still holding the baby, she will kill you.
She will yell “Give me back my baby!” and scream loud enough to break glass. If you don’t do it fast enough, a hideous woman will appear in the mirror.
You will feel it scratching your arms.īefore it gets too heavy, you have to quickly take the invisible baby, flush it down the toilet and run out of the bathroom. The baby will get heavier and heavier as it grows larger and larger. If you do it right, you will suddenly feel the weight of an invisible baby in your arms. Then you stare into the mirror, hold out your arms like you are rocking a baby and repeat the words “Baby Blue, Blue Baby” 13 times without making a mistake. To play “Blue Baby Blue”, you have to go into the bathroom on your own, turn off the lights and lock the door. This urban legend is related to the myth of Bloody Mary. If you perform the ritual, they say an evil ghostly infant will appear in your arms. Blue Baby Blue is an urban legend about a strange game that kids play in bathrooms.
