Cool D

No father is hip, down, sick, wicked, mad or hep or cool in the eyes of their child — at least while the child is a child. But every man still believes himself to be. Naturally, the sound track for that delusion should come from the land of so much make believe, Oz. This week's Objet d'eBay, is the greatest hits of Australia's jazz combo Daddy Cool, whose roots go back to the 1970s.

Like every father, the band has gone through its various incarnations, trying on different voices to come up with the ones that will have the longest and greatest impact. And like the band, no dad should ever give up, even if it takes 40 or more years, to get their kid(s) to realize they can be a hip, down, sick, wicked mad, hep or most of all cool daddy.
