The actual commercial 45 run time of Cliff Richard's "Daddy's Home" is 2:57, not 3:00 as stated on the record label. (This timing info is brought to us by abagon.)

This one was actually recorded live at London's Hammersmith Odeon on May 1, 1981.

At about 1:51, after Richard has sung the line "But I made a promise that you'd treasure", you can hear him whisper "Thank you." He was thanking a woman in the audience who had just handed him a flower. I recall watching him perform the song on Solid Gold, a show on which every performer did not actually sing but just lip-synched to their recording. They had to plant a woman in the audience to hand him a flower at the same point in the song so he could lip-synch his "Thank you".

I have the parent vinyl LP for "Daddy's Home". The LP includes this as "live version." Strangely, other tunes in the LP are "studio recordings".
LP data : title "Wired For Sound" (EMI America SW-17059)
Side B-5 (final track) Daddy's Home (actual: 2:57 listed : 3:00)
The LP track is identical to the commercial 45.

Don't know if anyone else has ever noticed this but there's a low
frequency hum occasionally noticable during the quiet passages of this
song. Very obvious at about the 20 second mark between the lines
"You're my love, You're my angel & You're the girl of my dreams." I
assume its probably some feedback or cable issue from the live setting.
According to Cliff, the lack of applause or screams at the beginning has
to do with the fact that the audience didn't applaud for the song at first
because they didn't know it.
The original Shep & The Limeliters version and Jermaine Jackson's
remake weren't hits in the UK. I do like that they covered for the "thank
you" in the music video by making the little girl give Cliff a Barbie
though!
