@@sa-yr6lb I agree. This version comes off as much more artistic, and the ST version is overkill in my opinion, it just sounds too over dramatic and depressing but this version they did it right and just had JD cry for a short while. ST would've been much better with this exact version re-recorded.
the picture in this video is how i remember my first impression of korn... it was 1994 i was 11 years old and i was this shirt at a bunch of stores on the boardwalk in wildwood new jersey and i didnt know anything about them at that point...by 1996 they were my favorite band.
I find this equally as disturbing as the current version because of the line “Mummy why did daddy touch me there?” This is very disturbing because it shows the innocence of a child because of how it’s said it’s sounds like a actual child is saying it and the fact they are asking why instead of telling just shows how much it is like a child which is so disturbing the singer crying as he screams mummy while the voice fades really just shows how hope is fading for them The crying at the end of current daddy is equally as disturbing As someone who has been csa’d this is really fucking terrifying and depressing to listen to I feel so sorry for Jonathan Davis I just wish I could hug him as something like a flareon for as long as he wants and comfort him
The original version of this song was called "Follow Me" and it wasn't by Jon Davis. He just added in the parts about rape. Just like "Blind" wasn't written by him, and he co-wrote Faget. My Gift To You was originally called "See Thru" -- That song is on UA-cam. Same song, different lyrics. JD turned it into "Molested" and then later "MGTY" for Follow the Leader. People who are arguing on here, just Google this stuff... Multiple sources beyond Wikipedia will tell you this.
@@kjj6944 I love korn, let me give you guys some info Before JD joined korn, there was a band called -CREEP-. This band never took off. Members of this band were the original korn members, Head, Fieldy, Munky and David with a singer called Corey cinque who never became popular. They wrote a couple songs Korn reused later, like my gift to you. Ofcourse then SexArt happened with Jonathan Davis, later changed into the band Korn who wrote the unreleased Neidermeyer's mind album along with this song, which is adjusted from a previously written song by creep. Daddy isn't written based of Follow Me tho, since See Thru and Follow me are the same song with two names, which My Gift To You is based on. Its no wonder creep never took off, don't get me wrong, Corey cinque was a great singer, but it didn't fit the raw and groovy instrumental style of korn. He was more like an AC/DC type of deal. Here you can find some info about Creep korn.fandom.com/wiki/Creep_(band) Here you can listen to See Thru/Follow Me (My Gift To You) sung by Corey. ua-cam.com/video/29-CyjU7nak/v-deo.html Cheers!
@ralfraggeldraf5787 no before Jonathan joined Munky Fieldy and Dave were known as L.A.P.D (Love and peace dude) head was their guitar tech. Jonathan was in a band with Ryan Shuck and some guys who later formed Adema with his half brother. That band was Creep
@@deadroses19blind was written by Jonathan and Ryan Shuck (orgy guitarist) in their band Creep and JD brought it to Korn. Daddys music was written before JD joined and he wrote the lyrics to it
I had a dream not too long ago about this song; only the final version on their first album. I dreamt I was comforting and hugging JD as he cried after recording the song. No child should ever have to carry that much pain. When your child tells you this kind of shit, be a fuckin parent and give your kid some justice. Don't let them suffer anymore.
Even though Jon denies this song is about his father, I tend believe it truly is about his dad. Granted I don't really know and probably never will. The lyrics have always suggested to me it was his dad. It wasn't until later in life Jonathan denied it. I mean seriously why would he write the lyrics the way they are? it's misleading, just about anyone reading the lyrics, would think he's singing about his father. why would he write such a confusing song? but the greater question if the song is about his dad, why would he lie? trust me, he wouldn't be the first one to lie about something like this. But in all respect, Jonathan knows the truth and it's tragic regardless.
***** Well doesn't mean it isn't about his dad. I've known three people sexual abused by family members, and they still hung out with them. I know it doesn't make sense. But I've seen it happen before. Guess it's a love/hate relationship of the highest order. some things I've never understand.
In this version of the song he clearly said's "mommy why daddy touch me there?". I mean what the fuck? why did he change the lyrics? very misleading lyrics if not about his father. This song never indicates it's about a female abuser or neighbor. It's clearly called "Daddy". It's a poor title or misleading one, what am I supposed to think? Sorry Jonathan I'm just suspicious. Not trying to be a dick.
I'm glad this wasn't the vocal style on the first record as I probably wouldn't have listened to them. Luckily it wasn't and they are my favourite and also the best band I have ever heard....until Ray showed up! Luckily Head came back and it's the proper Korn again ...just with Ray.
The album one feels like JD is venting his emotions and letting us know what happened This version is a dope song inspired based in trauma I like this version more
personally, i dont like the long chorus on the album version. and this one is realy heavy. but is there any reason why they changed this one (like blind that was originally from john's old band) ?
kinda funny but seriously. is there anyone who heard bout thoses 2 groups (sexart & orgy)? they could just have leave it to john if anyway it wouddnt be seen as their song. like, almost no one will know this song from sexart im pretty sure. they'll all see it as korn's starts with neidermeyer's mind demo tape
Just wanted 2 join back 2 the Emo group where my mom doesn't give 2 fucks about me either and she let new daddy say bull 💩 at me 4 a reason 2 get rid of me 😭😭😭😭😭

there is laughing because it is supposed tosignify the fact that jons parents didnt believe that he was abused by a neighbour and they laughed.
they say nothing in this world is perfect, but Korn is PERFECT.
Because if a comment like "the one who doesn't leave his XD is gay" has a million likes, why not this comment?
REAL. It’s been 6 years since you posted this comment. You still listening to KoRn?
@@Pointlessmomentswe'll never know
This song is probably creepier than the finished version. Both versions bring me to tears. The biggest reason I rarely come back to this song.
Everyone says the later version is better, and yes it is, as a song, but this one is definitely creepier.
Yea this song sounds more malicious, but the later version just sounds depressing.

Is better the normal version and give so much scary but much exaggerated but is good
@@LeadMe2TheBliss Overdramatic? Over a song about how he was sexually abused for 4 YEARS? Yeah.
@@LeadMe2TheBliss you know this is a true story of what happened to jd and u call it overdramatic ? ignorant pos
I like the death growls "FOLLOW ME."

Hell yeah. Every old original korn fan had this shirt
I find this equally as disturbing as the current version because of the line
“Mummy why did daddy touch me there?”
This is very disturbing because it shows the innocence of a child because of how it’s said it’s sounds like a actual child is saying it and the fact they are asking why instead of telling just shows how much it is like a child which is so disturbing the singer crying as he screams mummy while the voice fades really just shows how hope is fading for them
The crying at the end of current daddy is equally as disturbing
As someone who has been csa’d this is really fucking terrifying and depressing to listen to

@@ralfraggeldraf5787 Thanks for this, I got a question though, who wrote Daddy specifically, then? As well as Blind

I know I'm really really late, but I had the same dream, months ago, the same night I listened to this song (1st album version) for the first time...
this song still gives me goose bumps
OMG the part '' mommy said she didn't caree'' is breaking my heart how he says it :(((
+HardCore23121 Same dude. Tough to get through the whole thing without shedding a tear.
For me it is not tough at all. I don't know why
@@CommanderSp00ky me too this song doesnt make me cry for some reason
The part where he laughs is insane to me lol
The instruments in this demo are far more amazing than the ones in the regular version :D
HazyMan oh, here you are! hi. :)
Maria Megido LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
@@CommanderSp00ky what just happened
Sick guitar sound!
if been listening to this all week, his voice sounds amazing
If the word evil was a song it would be this
both demo and album versions are great
Holy fuck this song is more grimey and disturbing than the original
i love korn, the beginning he sounds like a goat xD awesome
The chorus sounds kinda like Alice In Chains.
The current version of Daddy is - in my opinion - a LOT freaking scarier than this demo version !!!!!
Agreed
Nah this one feels super raw
@@xxiluvthesoundxx thought I was the only one who thought this, this one sounds more evil.
I feel like the demo version is scarier and more evil in tone and the other one is more depressing in my opinion..
No
this one make me cry at the end u.u i know how it feels jd u.u I LOVE YOU MAN!
This is one creepy ass song. I love early Korn. It's so dark and evil with lyrics.
ngl i always fuckin bop to this song, even the official version, the groove is just peak
Omfg the bass line holy shit
but in the song he says, "i'll be your daddy" implying that the person in not already his father.
The description is saying 1992. They made this Fall of 1993. Jon was still with Sexart.
Yep, it was 1993. Must have just been a typo
The riff in the chorus sounds like Biohazard...
Which one?
Though this doesn’t have Jonathan’s breakdown at the end, unlike the debut album version, it’s still horrific in its own right!
The lyrics are fucked up but that bass line tho
2:37 till 3:00 is so epic.
2:37
The fucking bass line holy fuck
I think the rapist said shit like 'I'll be your daddy now" in the self titled album vers. thats part of the lyrics so thats my guess
TBH I like this version a bit more than the one on the album, like holy, the instruments and vocals on this.
This is deffinetly better than the other version IMO.
Same
this is much creepier than the album version but the album version is better in terms of instruments
This version is better
I also like how it doesn't make me wanna cry as much as the used version
I prefer this version.
This is disturbing as the normal one
this version is just as sad and terrifying or worse

He still sees his parents, that's the only reason I what he said about the song not being about his dad.

DireGrave11 hard to believe jds statement when you read the lyrics. we will probably never know the truth
It's actually about a babysitter that abused him as a child.
In this version of the song he clearly said's "mommy why daddy touch me there?". I mean what the fuck? why did he change the lyrics? very misleading lyrics if not about his father.

I'm gonna download this
See I’m glad they didn’t put this out but like in the one that we hear I wish they put these lyrics in it and
Why can I not find a single copy that actually starts at the beginning with him humming and ahhing?
+Richelle Cullett That's the full length album version
Richelle Cullett This is the demo. The humming is on the first album.
Why are the better songs always in the demo and not in the official album?
why does jonathan davis sound like the singer from placebo?
I'm glad this wasn't the vocal style on the first record as I probably wouldn't have listened to them. Luckily it wasn't and they are my favourite and also the best band I have ever heard....until Ray showed up! Luckily Head came back and it's the proper Korn again ...just with Ray.
Fucking love it!
The stranger sounds creepy
this course is pretty sweet...the original is good too
This demo is better than the original version, in my opinion
This version is more listenable than the album version. I tend to skip it.
The album one feels like JD is venting his emotions and letting us know what happened
This version is a dope song inspired based in trauma
I like this version more
0:44 Sounded like bathory
lol your right
I scream
it sings JD?? ;D
Now we just need the SexArt version of Daddy....
when i look in the mirror
personally, i dont like the long chorus on the album version. and this one is realy heavy. but is there any reason why they changed this one (like blind that was originally from john's old band) ?
I don’t what version to like better the demo or the remake. Edit. I like this one better than the remake.
The SexArt (pre-Korn) version of Daddy is pretty badass too...more raw and grungy.
Used to be trashed for beer runs in morning bumping this
The later version is better.
kinda funny but seriously. is there anyone who heard bout thoses 2 groups (sexart & orgy)? they could just have leave it to john if anyway it wouddnt be seen as their song. like, almost no one will know this song from sexart im pretty sure. they'll all see it as korn's starts with neidermeyer's mind demo tape
I heard of orgy, they ehere on mtv evefy now and then, but i never heard of sexart til about a year ago.
Does anyone know the lyrics to this song? (Demo Version)
Yeah it is kind of weird that all the lyrics pretty much say his dad molested him...but he says it was a female neighbor!
The chorus reminds me of Black Sabbath
1:51
The original song was written by the first singer of SexArt. I forget his name.

It sings Jonathan? :O
Yeah fukkin psyco s**t. Great stuff , I luv Korn , damn fukkin psycoversion , sounds better , than the "original" .
But why does the song say it was his dad?
это демо не 1992, а 1993 года
Sorry, I found them
any lyrics?
myself
Yes, the band name was "Sexart", the founder was Ryan Shuck from "Orgy", the had some problems because Mr. Davis "Stole" the song from Shuck, funny.
Just wanted 2 join back 2 the Emo group where my mom doesn't give 2 fucks about me either and she let new daddy say bull 💩 at me 4 a reason 2 get rid of me 😭😭😭😭😭
but honestly wikipedia isnt always correct
you don`t know me bro
