I've always wondered why she switched out "Over My Head" for "Oh Daddy" during the tour..

Don't get me wrong I love "Oh Daddy", but I was always curious as to why?

I think it was because more people wanted to hear "Oh Daddy." Though "Over My Head" was a radio hit and OD was not, OD, along with "Songbird," has become a signature tune for many of her fans.

Agreed. And Oh Daddy has lovely chords, including that heartbreaking diminished 7th when she sings "Yes, it's got to be me..."

I was crushed when Over My Head left the tour, but am glad we have it on DVD.

Not a fan of Oh Daddy.

I know that's what makes it so wonderful to me. It's simple but amazing all at once! A perfect summer anthem!

As does 98% of all blues tunes...90% of all 50s Rock & Roll tunes...70% of all Rolling Stones tunes...


...shall I go on?


The whole Rock genre is all based on "Three Chord Songs"...if it weren't true, it wouldn't be a "cliche'"

you could, but i do get your point... however, it starts to drive me nuts and even though i may like the tune... i tend to gravitate toward something with more sections or progressions.... never like the rolling stones... except for a few tunes... (i'm more of a jazz lover)

i haven't looked at the score in a long time but how many chords does over my head have vs oh daddy?

i'll have to dig out my storage to find my fm book.....

Actually, "Over My Head" has four chords.

D, G, A, Em

Well yeah, but don't verses normally have 3, and then the chorus has a different three?

Not all songs are of the "verse/chorus" format. So, "Normally" doesn't apply.

"Three chord songs" especially.

"Oh Daddy" was on Rumours, "Over My Head" was not.

The only Rumours tunes NOT done during The Dance tour:

"Never Going Back Again"
"I Don't Want To Know"
