"Who's your daddy?"

Did that phrase appear in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ?
Would have been said by (Big Daddy (Burl Ives) to his daughter (Elizibeth Taylor) whenever he wanted “some sugar”, and she would give him a hug and kiss him.

I always thought it came from The Byrds’ song in the 60’s, Time of the Season.

My Indiana in-laws inform me that it was a pioneer expression basically asking who you are related to, something commonly asked in a region of newcomers. It predates Cat on a Hot tin Roof and The Zombies song Time of the Season. It evolved into the nickname “hoosier” for folks from that midwestern state.

You forgot to add a smilie.
Some of the youngsters will believe you. :frowning:

Finally, I understand why people kept shouting “Who’s your Daddy” at Bobby Knight.

Thank you, Padeye.
