Babe – The Song

‘Babe’ is a song by English boy band Take That, released in December 1993 by RCA and BMG as the fourth single from the band’s second album, Everything Changes (1993). Written by Gary Barlow, it features Mark Owen on lead vocals. Production was led by David Clayton, who later spent 10 years as keyboard player and backing vocalist with Simply Red. Accompanied by a music video directed by Gregg Masuak, the song was a number-one hit in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. Take That became the first band to have three consecutive singles debut at number one. The song is about a prodigal lover returning to find his ex with a child bearing his eyes etc.  “Babe” became Take That’s third single in a row to go straight to number one on the UK Singles Chart, knocking Mr Blobby’s self-titled novelty single from the number-one slot in the process.

The Pig – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a young pig or piglet. The pig, often called swine, hog, or domestic pig when distinguishing from other members of the genus Sus, is an omnivorous, domesticated, even-toed, hoofed mammal. When used as livestock, pigs are farmed primarily for the production of meat, called pork. A group of pigs is called a passel, a team, or a sounder. The animal’s bones, hide, and bristles are also used in products. Pigs, especially miniature breeds, are kept as pets.

Babe is a 1995 comedy-drama film directed by Chris Noonan, produced by George Miller and written by both. It is an adaptation of Dick King-Smith’s 1983 novel The Sheep-Pig, which tells the story of a farm pig who wants to do the work of a sheepdog. The film is narrated by Roscoe Lee Browne and the main animal characters are played by both real animals and animatronic puppets.Babe was filmed in Robertson, New South Wales in 1994 and released theatrically in August 1995, going on to become a critical and commercial success, with several Academy Award nominations.
