Bobby Troup (Julie's husband by this time) wrote "Daddy" in 1941, and it was a big hit for Sammy Kaye's orchestra when he initially recorded it. Tex Avery used it in his celebrated MGM cartoon, "Red Hot Riding Hood' (1943). Julie first recorded it for her 1961 Liberty album, "Whatever Julie Wants" (apparently, they used the same track for her to lip-sync in this 1967 "Color-Sonics" number)- and she also performed it as a "bedroom" number on a filmed "JACK BENNY PROGRAM" in March 1962.
The machines and the films they played were called Scopitones. They used basically the same technology as the "Soundies" that played on Panoram jukeboxes in the 1930s and '40s -- short musical performances on rear-projected 16mm film, with a few improvements like color and a magnetic soundtrack. Many Scopitone films were made in France by European and American pop singers.
It may have lyrics similiar to "Santa Baby", but the riffs are waaaaay too similiar to Peggy Lee's version of "Fever". And JK is certainly playing off the same type of sexiness as Lee gives off on "Fever".
You're right, algabal. It was performed by a number of acts, probably most famously by Sammy Kaye's orchestra. Personally, I preferred the Andrew Sisters' version.
I've never seen anyone so sexy..except maybe Bettie Page..but she couldn't sing like this..I'd gladly suffer any injury to have her for my nurse. YOW!
I think this is one of the hottest sexiest talented performers in the American pantheon of legends !!!!!!!!!!!

this is a film from one of the old color-sonics juke-boxes from the late 60s, one of the earliest music videos.

I'll be your Daddy! So sexy and with a good pipes (if you know what I mean) By the way Julie, what kind of car was that you wanted?
I remember her as (nurse)'Dixie McCall' on the tv show Emergency. Hard to believe this was Jack Webb's main squeeze at one time.
Thank you Tuggle!

"Daddy" by Bobby Troup came out years before "Fever."
