"Baby Universal" is a song by Tin Machine, released as the second single from their Tin Machine II album in October 1991.
The single release was backed with tracks recorded at the band's BBC session recorded for Mark Goodier's radio show on 13 August 1991, and a live appearance on the BBC's Top of the Pops.
Bowie re-recorded this track in 1996 for his 1997 album Earthling, but the track was not released on the album.[1]
