Sugar Daddy (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sugar Daddy is a song from the soundtrack of the off-Broadway show and film, Hedwig and the Angry Inch. It was composed by Stephen Trask, and performed by the characters Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell) and Sgt. Luther Robinson (Mitchell on the stage show soundtrack and Maurice Dean Wint in the film).

The divide between Communist East Germany and the democratic Western World is illustrated in the numerous cultural references included in the song's lyrics; they underline the idea that Hedwig is living in the Communist world where dictators and violence are the norm, while across the wall, Luther (and the American food products, fashion items and technological advancements) represents the American Dream.
