"Had a Dad" is a cut from Nothing's Shocking, the 1988 album from Jane's Addiction, and all four members share the music credit: Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins, with Farrell writing the words and singing them.
The core lineup does the heavy lifting, Navarro on guitar, Avery on bass and Perkins on drums, but the credits add a horn section too: Flea on trumpet, Angelo Moore on saxophone and Christopher Dowd on trombone. That's a lot of brass for a guitar band, and a sign of how wide Jane's Addiction were willing to throw the net.
