Frasier sings "Oh Babe, What Would You Say"

Frasier Crane(Kelsey Grammer) sings a song for a lady and he's eventually being turned down. This is S08 Ep13 Sliding Frasiers. I've heard Kelsey Grammer has taken singing courses when he was young. His voice reminds me of Frank Sinatra!
(song starts at 0:34)

It's the way he says "oooh oooh" that kills me every time! Love it!

[@hfield07]

He had such a great voice for standards and tunes in this style.

[@buggyboogle9]

Always love it when Frasier sings and Niles dances.

[@makimiki]

"Frasier, we need to talk."

[@bkynbiker]

Ouch ..

[@rachaeljohnson4097]

If frasier sang to me like that. I would say I love him back. Fraiser Crane is my kind of man. I love him. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘 what a beautiful voice he has too.

[@charlenedaniels1127]

Funny, witty, intelligent, cultured, Frazier is amazing!

[@delilahscott5753]

I love this scene. I, too , identified with the humiliation of placing unreasonable expectations on a relationship. But I really liked the song too. 😬

[@123tgw]

OH BABE, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? (E.S. Smith) Hurricane Smith - 1972 Have I a hope or half a chance, To even ask if I could dance with you? You-hoo! Would you greet me or politely turn away? Would there suddenly be sunshine on a cold and rainy day? Oh, Babe! What would you say? For there are you, sweet lollipop, Here am I with such a lot to say, hey, hey! Just to walk with you along the Milky Way. To caress you through the night time, bring you flowers every day..... Oh, Babe! What would you say?

[@bjbell52]

E. Smith was his wife. Hurricane Smith was Norman Smith, the recording engineer for the Beatles from their first demo record up to Rubber Soul. He wrote an autobiography "John Called Me Normal" in reference to John Lennon making fun of the way Norman would go to work in a suit and tie instead of dressing in the style of the time.

[@bluecatky]

Poor Frasier.

[@DrCharlesMontague]

I wish 0:44 and 1:30 were ringtone options.

[@joebutler3608]

Reminds me of Michael Scott's proposal at the Diwali celebration where he's turned down in front of everyone. Watching Frasier sometimes makes me a little sad cause it seems like it was a much better time. You can keep the iphone 12 and 5G. I'll take the higher quality entertainment and less toxic society.

[@lpquagmire3621]

Agreed -- now it's "More tech, less respect."

I love this song and the "Frasier version is the best one I can find.

[@bjbell52]

You didn't like the Norman "Hurricane" Smith version? His wife wrote the song. Norman was the recording engineer for The Beatles from their demo record up to Rubber Soul. The Beatles were going to record one of his songs for an album and it would have been the only original song recorded by The Beatles that wasn't written by one of the four. George Martin put a stop to it saying the album needed a "Ringo" song.

(cont'd) Guess, though, Baby, I know, I know I could be so in love with you! And I know that I could make you love me too. And if I could only hear you say you do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! But anyway, what would you say? (Break) Guess, though, Baby, I know, I know I could be so in love with you! And I know that I could make you love me too.

Thank you for posting the lyrics to this song.

[@lcamuti7135]

It's Yes oh baby I know

[@bjbell52]

Oh Babe, What Would you Say.......... Recorded by Norman Smith who was the Beatles recording engineer from their first demo to Rubber Soul. He ALMOST made the record books when the Beatles wanted to record a song he wrote. That would have been the first original song the Beatles recorded that wasn't written by one of the four.

[@MadMax31577]

@xspettacolare That is his voice. He also sings the shows theme song at the end (Tossed salad and scrambled eggs...).

[@ScuddyGuitarsThings]

This happened to me once.

With all the Gender Fluidity these days ,,would a reboot of Frasier be in the making

[@Chaosdude7111]

What does gender fluidity have to do with this? Just a less heteronormative Frasier? I'd be down!

[@TuomariMuller]

@@Chaosdude7111 definitely. Most of the funniest moments didn't have anything to do with gender. And why would we even watch the same thing with different actors all over again? The original is absolutely fantastic, but they should do something differently second time around.

[@Mr-Mystery]

There are talks of a new narrative with Frasier starring Kelsey. That, in my opinion, would be the only way to do it. Anything else would not compare.

[@DGNYY27]

It’s officially been announced!

[@soylentteal]

At least he sang it better than "Hurricane Smith" did.

[@soylentteal]

@My Account Understood. I was born in the early 60s, so I was about 11 when it came out. The station my sister listened to played it to death and I quickly tired of it (and began imitating it derisively). I do tend to appreciate the "older" music, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. But I appreciate your thoughtful reply and no offense meant.

[@indy_go_blue6048]

True, but there's a certain something something about "Normal Norman's" voice ON THIS SONG that's captivating, or maybe it's the '40s music that my parents taught me to love (I was nuts about New Vaudeville Band in the '60s until they played "Winchester Cathedral" to death) that generations music. Gilbert O'Sullivan does a good job with it.

[@labluvver]

no
