Universal Daddy is the sixth single by Alphaville, and their second from their album Afternoons in Utopia. It was released only in Europe.

Reviews

This song was described as one of the album's best songs and reminiscent of the kind of music that their contemporaries the Pet Shop Boys might produce.^[1] Despite the praise, the song is one of singer Marian Gold's least favorite Alphaville songs ever, saying simply that "the lyrics are the most embarrassing ones I've ever written".^[2]
