80's Hit Song Review: "Your Daddy Don't Know" by Toronto (1982)

U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 77

Backstory: This Canadian rock band from (obviously) Toronto was formed in 1979 and consists of vocalist Annie "Holly" Woods, Brian Allen, Sharon Alton, Nick Costello, Jimmy Fox, and Scott Kreyer. Their first album, Lookin' For Trouble, was released in 1980 and included a single which was a cover of the Rascals 1966 classic, "You Better Bun", which Pat Benatar actually covered in the same year and had a modest success with, with her version peaking at No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their version was a modest success in Canada, but Bubbled Under the Hot 100 at No. 104 in the States. This single, off of their 3rd album, Get It on Credit, was their only ever U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart entry, peaking at just No. 77, but was a huge success in their native Canada, peaking at No. 5 on the Canadian Singles Chart. A cut that wasn't on the original release of the album, "What About Love", later became a huge comeback hit for Heart in 1985. The band split up in 1984, but reformed in 2007 and tour often.

The Review: This is a really nice and decent power pop/pop rock tune that has loud guitars but is still nice on the ears. Woods is a great vocalist. Should've been a Top 40 hit.

Final Rating:8/10
