I swear, when this song originally came out I never noticed the laughing baby that's featured prominently in the beat. Now I can't unhear it.

What the hell?

KibblesBits · May 16, 2013

It's more like the baby is cooing or babbling.

AlexMogil · May 16, 2013

It's that stock happy baby sound

ZootedGranny · May 16, 2013

Nerd alert: there was actually debate over where that specific baby sample came from for a few years.

Authentic Sound Effects Vol 8, released on Elektra in 1964. Track? "Happy Baby."

ElectricBlue187 · May 16, 2013

That beat is incredible. Too bad timberland can't rap worth a damn

AkuMifune · May 16, 2013

Nope still too soon.

AAAAAAAAAAAaliyah!

Nin_Fan · May 16, 2013

Sorry for the derailment but did you notice the Godzilla roars in the background of Ginuwine's "What's So Different" from around the same time?

How could you not hear that?

He also sampled Godzilla:

Different

Imm0rt4l · May 16, 2013

You only recently noticed that? also, it doesn't really sound like laughing, more like cooing.

Plinko · May 16, 2013

How could you not know that was a baby?

plantedunicorn · May 16, 2013

I actually like the baby sounds in the song and this song is great.

GraveHorizon · May 16, 2013

Thanks for reminding me of Aaliyah's music.

...Not.

Timbaland as a producer was on a different level back then.

Sorry, we can close this up then if it is too raw still.

It's not that I didn't know it was a baby, I just never heard it. I blame whatever shitty speakers were on my TV when watching TRL circa-1998.

PartTimeWarrior · May 16, 2013

I thought I was the only one who noticed it, but then again I never spoke up on it

IronRinn · May 16, 2013

My mind blowing revelation just now? Finding out this was from the soundtrack for Dr. Dolittle.

What?

I never heard it until now. Same deal with only hearing it from crappy speakers, etc.

dsigns1 · May 16, 2013

Best version of the song featured SupaFriendz. One of them says "I got yall crying like the baby in the background"

dafinezt · May 16, 2013

I always wondered why Timbaland put it in there but I love the song all the same. Brings back some good memories.

Tamanon · May 16, 2013

Isn't that the same baby sound from the Bust-a-Move games?

That was a nice surprise when I first heard that song.

DJ Crimson · May 16, 2013

I noticed it the first time I've heard it. Didn't think much of it since Aaliyah is that great. One of my absolutely favorite R&B artist.

Rel · May 16, 2013

they play this song at my work and i can't not hear the baby.. it's creepy as fuck

HiiiLife · May 16, 2013

Love Aaliyah.

BHZ Mayor · May 16, 2013

I remember people thought that was a subliminal announcement that she was pregnant.

sqwarlock · May 16, 2013

I know a lot of people hate it, but it makes the beat just that much better to me. Timbaland is just so good.

DominoKid · May 16, 2013

Timbaland da gawd.

sqwarlock · May 16, 2013

Also, one of my favorite songs from last year samples that baby as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5wGf1Gm1co

morningbus · May 16, 2013

Also, while we're here, what the shit:

I mean seriously, R. Kelly.

ReturnOfTheRAT · May 16, 2013

RIP Aaliyah.

Ha....in his first popular song "She's Got That Vibe" he goes down this list of all these women who "got that vibe" and "little cute aaliyah's got it" apparently.
