Gone Daddy Gone Violent Femmes
Gone Daddy Gone Violent Femmes
"Gone Daddy Gone" is a song written by Gordon Gano and originally recorded by his group Violent Femmes as the first single for their first album, Violent Femmes.
The lyrics use a complete verse from Willie Dixon's 1954 song "I Just Want to Make Love to You", originally recorded by Muddy Waters. For this reason, the song is occasionally referred to as "Gone Daddy Gone/I Just Want to Make Love to You", as on Permanent Record: The Very Best of Violent Femmes. It has two xylophone solos.
A cover version of the song was the third single released in the United States by the American soul duo, Gnarls Barkley, and is taken from their first album St. Elsewhere (2006). An animated music video was also made. The cover version was used in a 2008 commercial for the movie Igor, in the TV series Entourage and Chuck, in the 2006 game Tony Hawk's Project 8 and in the 2007 game Forza Motorsport 2.
