Stevie was asked point blank on the MTV show fanatic her favorite Lindsey and Christine songs. She said Oh Daddy because it was so "magical, mystical Tibet kind of thing" I get what she is saying and likes it for the reason that I do....the music. The singing and lyrics are somber and I notice for the most part her somber songs often get left out of consideration because people are so used to her peppy love songs.
Stevie was caught off guard by the question and could not name a favorite Lindsey song and looked confused. The interviewer (fan) then threw her a lifeline and offered maybe Stephanie and then Stevie said that was her favorite Lindsey song

Thanks for the correction. I’m sure you’re right and I misremembered what was written. Perhaps I was in denial lol. Still, that was a cool question. I’d be curious to find out which songs John and Mick like and dislike to perform live.

This is cut and pasted from the NicksFix transcribed from the Fanatic episode:

Elena: Um, if you had to pick a favorite song by Christine and one by Lindsey, which ones would you pick and why?

Stevie: Um. Christine. My favorite song of Christine's is a song called "Oh Daddy". That was written about Mick, when he was going through his divorce with his children and everything, and it was very, kind of a sad, sad time, you know. And that song to me is very Chinese-Tibetan... You know. It has all that ah, kind of mystic thing. And I think that the melody is the most beautiful, that she's written. And I also love doing that on stage. Um, for Lindsey, my favorite song...(big sigh) well I'm kinda, I'm gonna have to think about this one for a minute.

Elena: That's O.K. (laughs)

When was this interview?

1998 during the Enchanted tour. The Fanatic interview that was posted online but now only the transcript I could find on the NicksFix. Remember the lesbian who was kicked out of her house and bought Stevie records to survive and Stevie just stared at her like a deer caught in the headlights and never comforted her. She asked a few good questions like what her favorite Chris and Lindsey songs are and what the Mac felt about doing her solo songs in their set.

Stevie: “Um, for Lindsey, my favorite song… (big sigh) I’m gonna have to think about that one for a minute. Oh I know- I’m torn between Come and Not That Funny!”

Just kidding, I know Come was recorded long after 1998.

She loved Not That Funny in concert. She could do a quarter gram and half bottle of tequila backstage before heading back

Her answers are so nonsensical that she could say her fave Lindsey song is the one that says Packing up, shacking up is all you want to do...

That’s Stevie’s way of saying that she likes the dorian mode (from D to D on all white notes on the piano), plus all the cool instrumentation, with nice percussion, harmonics on the guitar, and the wandering moog line (similar to Crystal).

I remember Christine saying she was playing a Moog on Crystal and the unit wasn't hers. And the owner was twisting the knobs whilst she played it.

I don’t think it was a moog. I believe she said it was a cathedral organ (I could be wrong) and the man in charge of its maintenance was so in love with it she wouldn’t be surprised if he slept with it. Typical Christine humor. She also said, they recorded her playing hours of music on it and then spliced what they needed from that.

I have always thought it was an organ, and not a synth.
