little baby nothingtaken from the film a streetcar named desire (1951), based on the 1947 play with the same name by Tennessee Williams and adapted by oscar saul.
The film tells the story of the pathetic mental and emotional demise of a determined, yet fragile, repressed and delicate Southern lady (Blanche, played by vivien leigh) born to a once-wealthy family of Mississippi planters. Her impoverished, tragic downfall in the squalid French Quarter apartment of her married sister (Stella) and animalistic brother-in-law (Stanley), played by marlon brando (see "The more sensitive you are...") is at the hands of savage, brutal forces in modern society. In her search for refuge, she finds that her sister lives (approvingly) with drunkenness, violence, lust, and ignorance.therfore this sample, which is a dialogue in which stella talks to stanley about the brutal way he treats blanche, is used in an early version of msp's song about the domination of man in society little baby nothing
