Songs For Dad

A handful of tracks to make Father's Day extra special.

Father's Day is that special third month of every June where we get to tell dad just how much he means to us. You could easily buy him a tie or throw a card in his direction, but nothing says "I love you" like a song dedicated to the big man. Go ahead and make him a mix CD if you think that a card doesn't convey loudly enough that you appreciate everything he's done for you and that you value his presence in your life. But before you click the "Burn" button, here are some tracks to include on your playlist to help make this Father's Day extra special.

Beyonce - "Daddy"

Call it sappy, call her a daddy's girl, but you can't deny that this song comes from the heart. Perfect for a Father's Day playlist, "Daddy" was tacked on as an 11th hour addition to Beyonce's debut Dangerously in Love so that Papa Knowles would be surprised when he played the finished album for the first time. The lyrics might be a bit creepy at times (the chorus, for example, is "I want my unborn son to be like my daddy / I want my husband to be like my daddy"), but B isn't afraid to express her love for her father during this 5-minute long ballad, showing us just how appreciate we should be for what our fathers have given us.
