"Daddy DJ" is an electronica song recorded by French dance act Daddy DJ. It was its debut single from the album Let Your Body Talk, and was released in many European countries from June 2000. The music video was produced as an animated feature. It achieved a huge success on many charts, becoming the top ten in France, Finland, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. It even topped the singles chart in Sweden, Norway and Belgium (Wallonia).

In France, "Daddy DJ" is the 94th best-selling singles of all time, with about 1,000,000 copies sold.[1]

The song tells the story of a boy who is left home alone by his DJ father, when all he longs for is to join his father on the dancefloor.

Cover versions

The melody of this song has become very popular, and has been sampled many times. Here are some examples:

In early 2000's this song was sampled by Australian DJ S3RL on the song "Pretty Rave Girl". Its commonly believed that it was a sample of "DotA" as the tune is closer to it, this is however untrue as this was released before hand (exact date unknown).

In 2008, the song was sampled by Basshunter on the song "All I Ever Wanted"; two years earlier, it was sampled by the same artist on his song "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" (also known as simply "DotA", especially in Scandinavia).

In 2009, the song was covered by Crazy Frog and released as a single on 13 July off its third album Everybody Dance Now. It went straight to number four on the French Singles Chart.
