Daddy is an emotionally painful and angry song by nu metal band KoЯn, which first appeared on their demo Neidermeyer's Mind and was then remade for their self-titled debut album.
The band's singer Jonathan Davis has stated that the song is about his painful experience of being molested as a child and not being believed.[1] However, he denied it was about physical or sexual abuse at the hands of his father and the title and some concepts within the song stem from his parents not believing him. It ends with Davis actually sobbing for a long period. The rest of the band did not know that the song was about his childhood prior to recording.
The song is notable for, despite its popularity amongst fans, never being played live. Jonathan Davis says that the song is simply too personal for him to perform live. Guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer, has also commented on this saying, "He's (Davis) already emotionally drained when he leaves the stage after our set, so I couldn't imagine him leaving the stage after playing that song." [2] The only time Daddy was performed live, Jonathan broke down in the middle of the song.
After a long period of silence at the end of the song, a discussion can be heard; a random audio clip that producer Ross Robinson found in an abandoned house. The argument revolves around a man named Michael and a woman named Geri conversing about the installation of a car part(apparently an exhaust manifold on a Dodge Dart). Michael can be heard screaming at Geri (profanity-laden) over the merits of the installation. This discussion is often considered a hidden track.[citation needed]
The demo version of the song is a lot shorter than the album version. While the album version is 9:30 minutes long, the demo version is 4:29 minutes long.
