I don't know where my baby is
but I'll find him, somewhere, somehow
I've got to let him know how much I care
I'll never give up looking for my baby
Been around the world and I, I, I
I can't find my baby
I don't know when, I don't know why
Why he's gone away
And I don't know where he can be, my baby
But I'm gonna find him

How about Icebreaker International, the Trein Maersk: A Report to the NATOarts Board of Directors album?

Over the course of their two month journey, Mr. Perls and Mr. Break recorded Trein Maersk: A Report to the NATOarts Board of Directors in a cabin aboard the Trein Maersk, using portable digital audio equipment. At the conclusion of their journey in March of 2000 at the port of Halifax, Canada, Mr. Break and Mr. Perls submitted a report to the NATOarts board of directors in audio format. Trein Maersk: A Report to the NATOarts Board of Directors, which was released on 24 July 2000, is an unabridged duplicate of that report.
