B Boy Baby

"B Boy Baby" is a song written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry Craig Klepto Tucker, Peter Celik and Angela Hunte. It was produced by Salaam Remi for Mutya Buena's debut album, Real Girl, and was released as the fourth and final single from the album.

Background

It borrows melodic and lyrical passages from "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes. The chorus to Buena's version is sung by British singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse. The single was a commercial failure for Mutya and her label, charting at #73 on the UK Top 75. However, promotion for the single managed to get the album back into the UK Albums Chart, debuting at #88 and peaking at #83. "B Boy Baby" has since been used in various adverts on UK television. The single had a brief rebirth of minor success in America with a leaked remix featuring rappers Klepto and Complex. Record labels were never able to obtain distribution rights and the remixed single was only released on the artists personal mixtape titled Why U Mad Vol. 1 and later on YouTube. In 2008, the song surged in downloads and peaked at #1 on the Greek's iTunes Top 10 Singles Chart.

B-boying

B-boying or breaking, also called breakdancing, is a style of street dance that originated primarily among African American and Puerto Rican youth, many former members of the Black Spades, the Young Spades, and the Baby Spades, during the mid 1970s. The dance spread worldwide due to popularity in the media, especially in regions such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Germany, France, Russia, and South Korea. While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, b-boying consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. B-boying is typically danced to hip-hop, funk music, and especially breakbeats, although modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain ranges of tempo and beat patterns.

A practitioner of this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although the term "breakdance" is frequently used to refer to the dance in popular culture and in the mainstream entertainment industry, "b-boying" and "breaking" are the original terms. These terms are preferred by the majority of the pioneers and most notable practitioners.
