“Baby’s on Fire” is the third track on Brian Eno’s debut solo album. Recorded in Majestic Studios, London, in September 1973, with the participation of Robert Fripp, who performed the 3-minute guitar solo.

Eno performed song in the live album, “June 1, 1974” with Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Ollie Halsall and Eddie Sparrow. About the performance, Eno said:

The instruments were incredibly out of tune, so out of tune you wouldn’t believe it. But it sounds fantastic. There’s one little bit in it where there’s a riff between the guitar and one of the bassists, and they’re so out of tune it sounds like cellos. Amazing! I mean if you tried to make that sound in the studio it would have taken you ages. You wouldn’t have thought of making it, in fact, it’s such a bizarre sound. And the piano and guitar are quite well out of tune as well. Ha!

“Baby’s on Fire” was also performed in the 1998 film Velvet Goldmine, with vocals by the film’s star, Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
