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.
