Daddy (Emeli Sandé song)

"Daddy" is a song by British recording artist and songwriter Emeli Sandé, featuring Naughty Boy. It was released on 27 November 2011 as the second single from her debut album Our Version of Events, which was released on 13 February 2012. In early January 2012, it was made iTunes' song of the week.

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Daddy" was first released onto YouTube on 21 October 2011 at a total length of three minutes and twenty seconds. The video features Sandé singing, whilst burglars, in which one of them is the person Sandé is singing about, raid a supermarket, and one of them takes the money from the cash machine. In the end, Sandé is in the supermarket, whilst a burglar approaches her. He then takes off his mask. In the end, the burglar finds a folded piece of paper in his fridge.

Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a very positive review, stating: "My friends keep telling you what he did last night, how many girls he kissed, how many he liked," she insists over haunting church bell chimes as she gives her bezzie a reality check on love; before a mish-mash of thrashing acoustics pound out with more drama than the EastEnders cliffhanger outro. By the time the catchy-as-cholera chorus kicks in, it's obvious that 2012 is Sande's for the taking. At least Cowell's got one thing right this year, eh? Similarly, John Earls of the Daily Star gave the song 9/10, stating "Our fave new soul girl of the year proves Heaven was no fluke with another awesome mix of emotional vocals and modern grooves that make being a pop star seem so easy." Going on to say "The chorus is as huge as her quiff – if Emeli keeps this up, her album, Our Version of Events looks set to be a classic."

Daddy (2015 comedy-drama film)

Daddy is an American comedy-drama film, slated for release in 2015. The directorial debut of Gerald McCullouch, the film is based on the play by Dan Via.

The film stars McCullouch and Via as Colin McCormack and Stewart Wisniewski, two gay men in their late 40s. Longtime friends whose relationship has taken on many of the emotional undercurrents and routines of a non-sexual marriage, their bond is tested when Colin begins dating a younger man (Jaime Cepero).

The film's cast also includes Brooke Anne Smith, Jay Jackson, Tamlyn Tomita, Scott Henry, John Rubinstein, Mackenzie Astin, Richard Riehle and Leslie Easterbrook.

Background

McCullouch and Via starred in the original stage production of Daddy, which was staged in New York City and Los Angeles in 2010. The film adaptation was funded in part by a Kickstarter campaign in 2013.

According to Via, the play and film were inspired by the "daddy" phenomenon in the gay dating scene, as well as a desire to explore the effects of the contemporary normalization of same-sex marriage on older gay men who had been raised to believe that marriage and family were not available to them, and who thus built their own alternative models of family and social connection.

Daddy (Psy song)

"Daddy" is the 22nd K-pop single by the South Korean musician Psy. The song was released on November 30, 2015 to his YouTube channel, as the lead single of his 7th studio album Chiljip PSY-Da. It features CL of 2NE1. It samples hooks derived from "I Got It from My Mama" by will.i.am.

Fender Custom

The Fender Custom (or Maverick) was a short-lived model released by the CBS-owned Fender in 1969. Essentially a six-string Fender Electric XII, the Custom was an attempt to sell off unused factory stock instead of simply writing it off. The guitar was made with unused parts from Electric XII guitars, including the body, pickups and neck, and also unused Fender Mustang bridges. The six extra holes in the headstock for the tuning machines were filled and veneered over. The Custom was featured more prominently in sales material than its companion, the Swinger, but sold poorly, and was never expected to compete with Fender's more popular models. A notable fan of the Fender Custom was Cheap Trick's lead guitarist Rick Nielsen.

Custom (law)

Custom in law is the established pattern of behavior that can be objectively verified within a particular social setting. A claim can be carried out in defense of "what has always been done and accepted by law." Related is the idea of prescription; a right enjoyed through long custom rather than positive law.

Customary law (also, consuetudinary or unofficial law) exists where:

Most customary laws deal with standards of community that have been long-established in a given locale. However the term can also apply to areas of international law where certain standards have been nearly universal in their acceptance as correct bases of action - in example, laws against piracy or slavery (see hostis humani generis). In many, though not all instances, customary laws will have supportive court rulings and case law that has evolved over time to give additional weight to their rule as law and also to demonstrate the trajectory of evolution (if any) in the interpretation of such law by relevant courts.
