Buffy ,'Sleeper'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
So is "who's your daddy"? originally a gay phrase? That would make so much more sense.
Oh yeah. "Daddys" and "boys" (who are by no means underage) are two major leatherman types. It means to give yourself up to your top. Tops who are Daddys tend to be more affectionate and nurturing etc. as distinct from a severe S&M master or somebody who was into a Drill Sergeant vibe.
But I'd think the usage would be older (older than those aspects of gay whatsis being common currency, I mean). Lots of old blues songs use "daddy" in the sense of lover.
I'm leaning toward the "Who's your (sugar)daddy?" interpretation, myself, though I am aware of the leatherman definitions.

Undoubtedly. But I think the current usage - and that particular phrase - is all leatherman. I can't even think of that phrase without a Tom of Finland scene in my head.
Huh. It sounds totally different in my head.

No cites, but I think your data is skewed based on your location, you SF freak. I've heard it used a lot with no leather or men implied.

Some of the people I've heard use it have never *heard* of leathermen, I'd bet.
And here I keep thinking about D'Argo.
I'm so out of the loop.
I think the next line of the song is, "Is he rich like me?" so I figured the singer was trying to figure out if the object of his attention would be impressed by him or not. (Me = not, by the way)
Yeah, that's always what I assumed, not that he was asking it in a during-sex-kinda-"yeah baby who's your daddy say my name bitch" kinda way...
I have no idea if drag kings say "who's your daddy?".
Well, some of them are into leather type daddy/boi relationships, so yeah, I'd imagine they do. :)
And I would find "sucks" more offensive than "bites", really.
And here I keep thinking about D'Argo.
Hey, he wears leather, doesn't he?
Also, I'd never even considered hearing "bites" as offensive. I'm not personally offended by "sucks" either, but I could imagine someone else being bothered by it. Bites, though? Really? Huh.
