Both are almost so-bad-it's-good affairs, to me.

Do people really think of Oh Diane and Family Man in the same vein? I'd never really considered that. For me Oh Diane is one of several songs from Mirage that I must admit I feel a little embarrassed by whenever somebody else is listening to it. I've never felt that with Family Man. I've always considered it to be just an okay song- not a great one but fairly inoffensive/pleasant to listen to (with the added personal link to memories of a good holiday).

By the way, I'd always considered the cartoonish repetition of the words 'Family Man' to have been voiced by Mick. Reflecting on the song now I think they were probably Lindsey's own voice processed in the same sort of way as the vocals on Big Love....never thought about it until now.
