Is the word "babe" banned from EN World?

[Silver Moon]

Hmm, that sounds familiar. My wife gets no special treatment either, but despite this she keeps foiling my evil plans by rolling natural 20's.

And that sounds very familiar to me. Kriskrafts and I have never showed any favoritism towards each other during the game, and if anything I overcompensate. She does tend to mess up my best plans with good dice rolls.

And now to please PC I'll start singing "I've got you Babe"....

With the bagpipe?

 

[Umbran]

It might be too close to Abba. *shudder* Good otherwise.

Oh, now what's so bad about that?

Don't be silly, I can't sing and play bagpipe at the same time. The bagpipes are pre-recorded!

Seriously though, I've heard some very interesting songs played on the pipes. The bagpipe version of the Star Wars theme song is incredible!

Now onto the song, ready Kris?

Him:They say we're young and we don't know,We won't find out until we grow.
Her:Of course I don't know if all that's true 'Cause you've got me, and baby I've got you.
Both:Babe,I've got you, babe,I've got you, babe.
Him:They say our love won't pay the rent,Before it's earned, our money's always spent.
Her:I guess that's so, we don't have a lot,But at least I'm sure of all the things we've got.
Both:Babe,I've got you, babe,I've got you, babe.
Him:I've got flowers in the spring,I've got you to wear my ring.
Her:And when I'm sad,
Him:Oh yeah!
Her:You're a clown
Him:I'm a clown!
Her:And if I get scared, you're always around.
Heron't let them say your hair's too long -I don't care, with you I can't be wrong.
Him:Then put your little arms in mine,There ain't no river or mountain we can't climb.
Him:Babe,
Both:I've got you, babe,I've got you, babe.
Him:I've got you to walk with me,
Her:I've got you to talk with me.
Him:I've got you to hold my hand,
Her:I've got you to understand.
Him:I've got you to kiss goodnight,
Her:I've got you to hold me tight.
Him:I've got you and I, I won't let go,
Her:I've got you to love me so.
Both: I've got you, babe.
Him:I've got you, babe
Her:I've got you, babe
Him:I've got you, babe
Her:I've got you, babe
Him:I've got you, babe
Her:I've got you, babe

It's possible to sing and play the bagpipe at the same time. You just need a bottle of pressurized air, with a valve you handle with your foot. You've got to be sitting, of course.

LOL- there ya go. So, the word "babe" is not all bad or offensive (or shouldn't be, IMO).

Actually, it's Belgian. I don't know if Gaston Lagaffe ("Gaston Fumble") has had the same success in the USA as the Marsupilami (same creator) or the Smurfs (another creator, but also Belgian); but here's the strip I had in mind.

It should be an oboe for that song. Oboe players are a lot of fun to watch. Their necks double in size when they're creating the air column they need to make them not sound like wounded ducks. In addition, they need huge breaths for the air column, but use very little for the actual playing (when compared with other instruments) so their faces tend to turn striking shades of red. Oboe players tend (to me) to be among the most attractive instrumentalists (after French hornists, of course ). Unfortunately, there seems to be a backpressure problem caused from creating the column of air, and oboists tend to be the shortest-lived of the wind instrumentalists.
