when was cool daddy cool written

The title “Cool, Daddy Cool” most commonly refers to the Kid Rock song featuring Joe C, which was released in 2001 as part of the soundtrack for the movie Osmosis Jones. The underlying composition credit, however, goes back further: databases of song copyrights list “Cool Daddy Cool” as being written by Kid Rock together with songwriters Bob Crewe and Frank Slay, with the first recording released in 2001.

There is also a much older, similarly titled song “Daddy Cool” by The Rays, first released in August 1957, written by Bob Crewe and Frank Slay. This 1957 work is the original “Daddy Cool” song these writers are best known for and has been covered multiple times. So, if you mean:

• The Kid Rock track “Cool, Daddy Cool”: written and first released in 2001.

• The original older song by Crewe and Slay (“Daddy Cool” by The Rays): written and first released in 1957.

If you can clarify which “Cool Daddy Cool” you had in mind (Kid Rock’s movie track or an older doo‑wop/rock ’n’ roll song), I can narrow the answer further. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
