Talk:Who's your daddy?

I believe the origin of the phrase is from the Alan Clarke movie "Scum" in 1979 which depicts the Borstal system in britain. In the movie, Carlin is seeking his way to the top of the prison chain, to become what in the prison was known as "the daddy" of the prison. In one of the scenes, when the previous "daddy" has been eliminated, a triumphant "Who's the daddy now!!!" is yelled. The movie was apparently quite disturbing, but gained huge popularity because of the controversy it sparked, particularly regarding the borstal system. It had been banned from public view for several years.

What about the line, "What's your name? Who's your daddy? Is he rich like me?" from "Time of the Season" by the Zombies? --Golbez 08:13, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Radio "shock jock" The Greaseman popularized this phrase when he was syndicated across the US by Infinity Broadcasting in the early 1990's. He claimed that he developed the phrase from the Zombies song. Citation is out there, but I can't find it right now.

[edit] Spanish League / Taiwan

"A glory chant by Barca fans in Taiwan to razz the Madrid fans". What does that have to do with anything? How can one verify what happened in some obscure bar in Taiwan?
