But I am equally enthralled with the morose sincerity of “Oh Daddy.” In its own way, that song is as iconic as, say, “Rhiannon,” an archetypal plea from earth-mother/woman-child...

Can they not tell? I suppose nothing should surprise me. Haha.
Listening to it again today, I've decided it's a fun addition to the album. My former impression of it was that it wasn't ~*serious enough*~ and therefore worthy of derision or dismissal. According to last.fm, the last time I listened to it was in 2014 - once. The two times before that were in 2008, so I'd say it was high time that I listen to it again with fresh ears.
