Oh Daddy vs. Oh Diane
 

Because I like comparing songs with similar titles...which one do you prefer?

Neither one are my favorites, but as far as album versions go, I'd say Oh Diane. I much prefer that outtake or demo or whatever it was with Stevie doing a lot of backup vocals when it comes to Oh Daddy - there were some moments of really beautiful harmony there.

Oh Daddy by far. It's one of my fav Christine tunes. I think it's dark, mystical, and epically beautiful.

On the other hand, I think Oh Diane is a bad joke. To me, most of Lindsey's Mirage tunes are simply vehicles for thumbing his nose at the band & record label's negative reaction to his Tusk experiments. Since Lindsey's Tusk songs were too radical for everyone's tastes, he recorded a bunch of songs in the least inoffensive genre possible: 50s pop. I just find most of Lindsey's Mirage tunes (Oh Diane included) to be highly disingenuous.

Oh daddy is probably my 2nd favorite song on Rumours.....no joke. I love it. Love the vibe. Love Chris's voice......Everything. :]

Well, I've been talking about Oh Diane in the last days. I really prefer this, or its demo or outtake.
But I must say too, that Oh Daddy is not one of my favourites. With Sugar Daddy, these songs are maybe the lowest of the first two albums with the classical team. I love Christine's voice, but...well...sorry Christine!

:xoxo: I think I love you!!:nod::lol: ....but beware... when there was a poll a few months back and I knocked these songs... cold winds were a-flyin' everywhere!! (but you are not alone):wavey:

Oh No!

I'm not voting between two disparate songs...songs like...


Say You Love Me - Say You Will

Love In Store - Love Shines - Love Will Show You How

That's All For Everyone - That's Enough For Me - That's Alright

Never Make Me Cry - Never Forget

Well said. While I do like some of Lindsey's Mirage tunes, there was always something I couldn't put my finger on and I think you just did it for me! :nod:

And "Oh Daddy" is my pick.

I have a completely different opinion. I think those are two of Christine's finest songs. Go figure. Beauty is, indeed, in eye (and ears) of the beholder.

Hate - Oh Daddy

Love - Oh Diane

Oh Daddy has a permanent place in my Christine Top 3

I just voted for Oh Daddy. No Sweat. That's easily the better song, better performance and better production.

I'm one of few that actually like "Oh Diane". However with "Oh Daddy" its in my top 10 Christine songs.

Like others have said the demo version of "Oh Daddy" on the Rumours deluxe edition is awesome! :cool:

Much prefer the demo version to Oh Daddy than either of them. Although, I have to be in a really specific mood to handle woah, oh, oh, woah oh Diane over and over again. So, Oh Daddy, I guess, by default.
