Song: Daddy’s Little Girl
Artist: Mills Brothers
Record Label: Ranwood Records R-8152
Released: 1976
Location: Test Subject Pacification Chamber
After wandering through the damp and overgrown hallways of the hidden ADAM laboratories of Fontaine Futuristics, you’ll come across this song in the Subject Pacification Chamber. Presumably this was the place where candidates would be softened up to quell any resistance to the painful process of becoming a Big Daddy. You’ll be ambushed by the crazed Alex the Great and his rogue Alpha Series, those unfortunate enough to have been driven insane by the separation of their Little Sister; a forewarning of what will happen to you if you don’t find Eleanor.
I originally posted this song in celebration of Father’s Day. However on closer inspection, the arrangement used in the game is slightly different, notably the use of an organ during the closing bars. It’s been artificially aged to make it fit into Rapture.
Why was this version used? Probably due to licensing issues with the original Decca recording.
The tracklist for the The Mills Bros.: Golden Anniversary is as follows:
Side 1:
Nevertheless
Sawdust Heart
Fairy Tales
Dinah
My Gal Sal
Help Yourself to Some Tomorrow
Side 2:
Coney Island Washboard
Daisies Never Tell
Daddy’s Little Girl
Solitude
I Can’t Give you Anything But Love
The Mills Brothers with the Jackson 5 on the One More Time TV special on January 10, 1974.
By this time, John Jr. had died following their European tour in 1936. His father John Sr. replaced him as baritone until he retired from touring in 1957 at the age of 68.
The remaining trio, Herbert, Donald and Harry Mills, continued to make hits even after the advent of rock ‘n roll with “Get a Job”, “Yellow Bird” and “Cab Driver”.
They frequently appeared on television shows including The Dean Martin Variety Show, performing “Paper Doll”, “You’re Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You”, and “Bye Bye Blackbird” on October 16, 1969. They also memorably appeared with the Jackson 5, performing a duet on “Up a Lazy River” and “Opus One”.
This album was released in commemoration of the Mills Brothers’ 50th anniversary in show business way back in 1926 when they were still known as four boys with a guitar with a prowess for imitating instruments. Times have changed since their first hit in 1931 with “Tiger Rag” with Bing Crosby.
The tribute and charity gala itself was staged at the famed Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles and hosted by Bing Crosby himself, photos of which can be seen on the back cover of the album.
