Facts:
  • The only track on the HEAD soundtrack on which David Jones sings lead, “Daddy’s Song” was originally planned as a possible follow-up single for “Valleri”, but it was scrapped when Nilsson's own version was junked as a single. (It did later on see release as a single in England, but it didn't chart.) (AH3RD)
  • “Daddy’s Song” was originally cut with a double tracked lead vocal of Michael Nesmith (in the 1920's vein of "Magnolia Sims" and "Tapioca Tundra"). This was released as a bonus selection on Rhino’s 1994 CD reissue of the HEAD soundtrack. (AH3RD)
  • Harry Nilsson recorded his own (superior) version for his second solo album, 1968's AERIAL BALLET. (sav-man)
  • From the soundtrack to the Monkees' 1968 movie HEAD. (sav-man)
  • The Monkees cover another Harry Nilsson tune (the first was "Cuddly Toy"). Davy Jones sings the lead. (sav-man)
  • Song Lyrics:
    Years ago I knew a man
    He was my mother's biggest fan
    We used to walk beside the sea
    And he'd tell how my life would be
    When I grew up to be a man
    Years ago we used to play
    He used to laugh when I ran away
    But when I fell and hurt my knee
    He used to come and comfort me
    And the pain would go away

    Years ago I knew a boy
    He was his daddy's pride and joy
    But when the daddy went away
    It was such a rainy day
    That he brought out all his toys
    Now the momma did explain
    Trying to take away the pain
    He just couldn't understand
    That his father was not a man
    And it all was just a game

    Years have passed and so have I
    Making it hard to cry
    And if and when I have a son
    Let it all be said and done
    Let all that sadness pass him by
    (I B Emerson)
