Uncle Remus Tales, I think it was "Song of the South". A Walt Disney movie. There was this story about a baby that was made out of tar to fool someone.
That's as close as I can get. It's been a long time since I saw it.

the tar baby was a character created by uncle remus in his folk tales for children. It was made of tar and the harder you hit it the more entangled you got. Now it means a situation that a person gets inextricably intangled in

It's a North Carolina slang term for ***** baby. We use tar to pave our roads and of course it is black - so it means what it says!@~

It is a term meaning a sticky situation. It is also used as a racial slur.
