"Don't Call Me Baby" was the first single from The Polyester Embassy, the only album the Australian house duo Madison Avenue ever made, and it arrived at home in October 1999. Cheyne Coates, Andy Van Dorsselaer, Duane Morrison and Giuseppe Chierchia wrote it, and the bassline it rides on is sampled from "Ma Quale Idea" by the Italo disco artist Pino D'Angiò.
In Australia it sat at number two for six weeks, not all of them in a row, and went triple platinum; in 2000 it went all the way to number one in New Zealand and the UK. It has been dusted off twice since, with remixes for its 15th anniversary in 2014 and its 20th in 2019, among them versions by Tommie Sunshine, Mousse T. and the duo's own writer-producer, Van Dorsselaer.
