"Baby Oh No" was a 1982 single from Bow Wow Wow, the English new wave outfit, and it landed on their compilation album I Want Candy the same year. The whole band wrote it: Annabella Lwin, Matthew Ashman, Leigh Gorman and Dave Barbarossa, and it's pure pop mischief riding their jittery, drum-driven bounce. It reached number 58 on Billboard's dance and disco chart and bubbled just under the Hot 100, while its video, part motorcycle ride, part bedroom scene, part live show, picked up some play on MTV.
