About Baby Fratelli

"Baby Fratelli" is The Fratellis' fifth single from their debut album Costello Music. It was released on 12 March 2007, in CD, 7-inch vinyl, and DVD single formats. A limited edition USB stick was later released on 19 March 2007. This USB stick contained a weblink to an exclusive documentary, as well as a competition to see The Fratellis in New York City on 23 March 2007. 7,000 copies of the USB stick format were sold, although this format isn't chart-eligible. The song was written by the band's lead singer, John Lawler. Time magazine named "Baby Fratelli" one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at number 10. Writer Josh Tyrangiel, while criticizing the band's lack of originality, and the derivativeness of the song, praised the "unapologetically glammed up, eight ball of a rock song", which he called "a high-energy ode to the thrill of stupidity, thus its prominent place on the Hot Fuzz soundtrack."The video was filmed in Manchester in December 2006, and shows the boys playing on the roof of the Asia House apartment building on Princess Street, as well as showing clips from the 2007 movie Hot Fuzz, which features "Baby Fratelli" on its soundtrack.  more »

Well I met her in a bar, the men with big guitars were playin
And I listened with my ears but I couldn't hear what she was sayin
And I guess she talked with her mind
But didn't want to seem to unkind so I just laughed
And kept my eyes peeled to the door
Wondering what I was there for

But it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night

Well I asked if she believed in Adam and Eve the fable
And I guess she would've given me an answer if only she was able
And she danced like a medicine man
Drew a crazy picture on my hand and told me
She wanted to change my point of view
Asked me where I was going to

But it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night

Well she whispered in my ear we got to get us out of
Here to the country
I asked her for a ride she took me aside said â??try meâ??
I thought I'm gonna wake pretty soon
In the middle of a Sunday afternoon just dreamin
And it was warm in the back of her van
When she made me a real man
