The song "Daddy Don't Mind" by The Hollies tells the story of two young lovers, Sass 'E' Frass and Joe 'D' Glow, who are sneaking out to go to the picture show. Despite being warned not to fall for any seductions, Joe has other plans and tries to make a move on Sass. She resists at first, but eventually gives in to her desires. The lyrics suggest that the young couple's innocence is lost as they engage in feelings of love and passion. The line "Sweet innocence not yet 18" implies that they are underage and inexperienced, adding to the sense of danger and excitement. Throughout the song, it is suggested that the lovers are hiding their affair from Sass's father, who is oblivious to what is happening between them. They are warned to keep it secret and not let it become public knowledge, as this would likely have serious consequences. The chorus emphasizes the message that "daddy don't mind what daddy don't see," suggesting that as long as the two lovers keep their relationship hidden, they will be safe from any repercussions. However, the song takes a darker turn, as the ending suggests that Sass's innocence and naivety have been lost forever. Overall, "Daddy Don't Mind" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of young love, and the risks that come with breaking the rules and following one's desires.
