Let's Hear It for the Dads: WNYC's Father's Day Mixtape

Side A

"My Heart Belongs To Daddy" by Cole Porter Among the stars who covered Cole Porter's 1938 song are Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt and Marilyn Monroe. Mary Martin performed a striptease while singing the song in the musical "Leave It to Me!" Shout out to Porter for finding words to rhyme with daddy — like caddy, finnan haddie, and laddie: "So I want to warn you, laddie/Though I know you're perfectly swell/But my heart belongs to daddy/'cause my daddy he treats it so well."

"Song For My Father" by Horace Silver Horace Silver dedicated this swinging 1965 Brazilian jazz tune to his father John Tavares Silva. (Silva appears on the cover of the Song Fo "Daddy's Little Girl" by Al Martino It doesn't get much more sentimental than this: "You're the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree/You're the Easter bunny to mommy and me/You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice, And you're daddy's little girl." Choose the 1967 Al Martino version of the song to get the full bride-father wedding dance effect.

"A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash What's worse than a father flying the coop? Giving your boy a girl's name, apparently. That's the basis of the 1969 song "A Boy Named Sue," which was most famously covered by Johnny Cash. Still, the song has a happy ending: "Got all choked up and I threw down my gun/And I called him my pa, and he called me his son/And I came away with a different point of view."

"It was Good Enough For Daddy" by Clarence Reid Maybe it's not always best to follow the advice of your dad. In this funk classic from the late '60s/early '70s, Reid sings/raps a story he heard on a street corner in which a son follows his father's advice regarding a bride, only to have her walk out on him the next day.

"Father and Son" by Cat Stevens In 1970, Cat Stevens wrote this song for Tea for the Tillerman . It's a conversation between a father and son about growing up. Some similar lyrics (although just the son's side of things) in "Fight Test" by The Flaming Lips resulted in a lawsuit over the song's lyrics.

"Someday Never Comes" by Credence Clearwater Revival "Grow up fast." That's one of the messages in this CCR song from 1972: "When Daddy went away, he said, 'Try to be a man and someday you'll understand.'"

"Daddy Could Swear, I Declare" by Gladys Knight and the Pips Turns out Gladys Knight had a father with a sharp tongue: "Daddy couldn't read/Daddy couldn't write/But one thing daddy sure could do right/He could swear/Oh, Lord/I declare." This 1973 hit was made in the same era as the group's popular "Midnight Train to Georgia.

by Rita Lee The lyrics to this 1979 song by the São Paulo glam rock star Rita Lee (who notably founded Os Mutantes, among other groups) say it all: "Dad, can I borrow the car? Dad, can I borrow the car? I need to take my girl to the movies .



Review: Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb and the Palladium

Familiar songs continued—“Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms,” “Rhinestone Cowboy” and its overly commercial follow-up “Southern Nights” (played with just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek energy by the hip trio of guitarists) and even the “William Tell

Diplomatic Goddess Archetype: The Controversial Rihanna's Video

There are laws on the books that express condemnation of such actions. Although the music video doesn't express the condemnation: Rihanna's lyrics do with lines such as, “Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal. Oh lord have mercy!



Craig Morgan, 'This Ole Boy' - Song Review

The rapid pace of these lyrics grabs one's attention, but the words aren't memorable. “This ole boy got it going on / Got the good Lord smilin' on me / Her big blue eyes and the sweet red wine / Got me buzzin' like a bee / She's got her pretty little

My Sweet Lord Lyrics
by George Harrison Below on this page you'll find the My Sweet Lord Lyrics by George Harrison as well as my acoustic guitar demo.

A song that became the first #1 hit by an ex-Beatle in Dec 1070. The song also peaked at #1 again in 2002 after George Harrison passed. The song wasn't without controversay. The Chiffons' hit "He's So Fine" was very similar and in a court battle, Harrison had to pay royalties from the same of the song and record to The Chiffons.
