Bringing Up Baby

wait, so, it actually is about the movie? I didn't realize that was "Katherine Hepburn" at the end until I saw this. That makes sense, now, the line about the dinosaur missing, and the heel... It's from Hepburn's character's perspective, obviously, who is just the kind of character Talulah Gosh is always empathizing with.

I think the "baby" that's being brought up in this song is Katharine Hepburn not the leopard like in the movie. This song contains personal details of Hepburn's life that doesn't relate to the movie or her character in the movie. Like the first two lines, "Sweetens her tea with jam" Katharine used to sweeten her tea with strawberry jam instead of sugar and "Takes five baths a day" Katharine claimed to take five baths a day to help her think. It also mentions her long term relationship with Spencer Tracy and how they complimented each other so well people started to think of them as one person,like Angela Landsbury for instance, "I began to think of them as one person, really. I suppose most people did."

The band made a couple of factual errors. Cary Grant's character in Bringing Up Baby is not called "John", but David and Katharine Hepburn's character never called up David on the phone to ask him what day it is.
