Jeffrey Epstein's Spotify Playlist: "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" | Lolita Isn't Allowed to "Play with Boys"



The title of Meghan Morris' Business Insider piece, "We found Jeffrey Epstein's social-media accounts. On Spotify, his tastes ranged from Louis C.K. to songs like 'Before You Accuse Me' and 'Hot for Teacher.'" (Aug 22, 2019), shows that even news outlets use the allure of nymphets as clickbait. 

In the piece's title and in the text of the post, Morris stated, in terms of Epstein's playlist, his "tastes ranged" and were "wildly varied". Thus, why put 'Hot for Teacher' in the title of the post with a photograph of Epstein in front of a chalkboard. 


Firstly, "Hot for Teacher" is a Van Halen song about a male student who is hot for a female teacher. And secondly, the photograph isn't from when Epstein taught, without a B.Ed. or even a B.A., at The Dalton School. 

However, per Business Insider, Epstein's Spotify playlist did include "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," which is a song about "The Daddy Thing". Although, it was oddly Oscar Peterson's performance of the song and not Mary Martin's version or even Marilyn Monroe's. 


Per Life (Dec 19, 1938), "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" was originally performed by Mary Martin in musical Leave It to Me!  (1938). Martin played Dolly Winslow - the young mistress of a rich newspaper publisher (i.e., Daddy). At the end of the, provocative at the time, striptease slash song, Winslow, to the delight of the surrounding Siberian men, dropped her fur coat to reveal a "bikini". 

Per Wikipedia, Marilyn Monroe performed "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" in the film Let's Make Love (1960) where she introduced herself as Lolita who is not allowed to "play with boys".


Here is Marilyn Monroe's version of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" with one of the sexual innuendo's highlighted:

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy

If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine food and haddie [i.e., fish i.e., vagina]
I just adore, his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy

Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy

So I want to warn you laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
Cause my Daddy, he treats it so well

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy

If I invite a boy some night
To cook up some hot…
