Session drummer Hal Blaine played drums for the song with other members of The Wrecking Crew supplying instrumental support . `` I Got You Babe '' became the duo 's biggest single , their signature song , and a defining recording of the early hippie countercultural movement . AllMusic critic William Ruhmann praised the song : Recalling Dylan 's bitter 1964 song `` It Ai n't Me Babe '' ( soon to be a folk - rock hit for the Turtles ) , Bono wrote his own opposite sentiment : `` I Got You Babe . '' Where Dylan was lyrically complex , Bono was simple : His lyric began with the ominous youth - versus - grownups theme of `` they '' who set up barriers to romance , but soon gave way to a dialogue of teenage romantic platitudes . Where Dylan was musically simple , however , Bono , without fully rebuilding Spector 's Wall of Sound , was more structurally ambitious , following the song 's standard verse - chorus - verse - chorus - bridge - verse - chorus form with an ascending coda that built to a climax , then started building again before the fadeout , all in only a little over three minutes . Set to waltz time , the tune retained a light feel despite the sometimes busy instrumentation , led by a prominent oboe . These effects are purposely part of the instrumental arrangement by African - American musician Harold Battiste . The alternating vocals alternate between the two singers and if neither were interesting singers , their plodding , matter - of - fact performances gave the song a common - man appeal . Bruce Eder highlighted the song on their 1965 Look at Us album . In the United States , the song has sold more than 1 million copies in 1965 and was certified Gold by the RIAA . As of November 2011 , Billboard reported the digital sales of `` I Got You Babe '' to be 372,000 in the US . In 2011 , the song was named as one of the greatest duets of all times by both Billboard and Rolling Stone magazine . It was also listed at # 444 on Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004 . In early 2017 the song has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . Live performances ( edit ) Sonny and Cher last performed the song together during an impromptu reunion on NBC 's Late Night with David Letterman on November 13 , 1987 . Cher performed the song with R.E.M. on February 14 , 2002 , at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles . It was her first performance of the song without Sonny . During Cher 's 2014 Dressed to Kill Tour using left behind vocals and a projection of videos of Sonny , Cher performed the song live with Sonny ( dead ) for the first time since 1987 . In popular culture ( edit ) `` I Got You Babe '' has been frequently featured in film and television , including Sonny and Cher 's own The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour . The song made a bit of a comeback when it was used repeatedly as Phil Connors ' wake - up music in the 1993 movie Groundhog Day . On re-release , the single re-charted in the UK , reaching number 66 . Other films have used the song including Good Times which stars Sonny & Cher , Buster , Look Who 's Talking Too , Just Visiting , Me Without You , Riding in Cars with Boys , and Jack and Jill .
