Fleetwood Mac - Oh Daddy (Album Version with lyrics)

[TheEmilylander]

When my father died, your song was very everything. Now its a very good song, Guys thank you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[giffworks]

[dem5r]

tears in my eyes...every time

[womack1324]

amazing how a group emerges. Peter Green built a powerful music machine, but the current musicians kick ass the most. Christine has got to be 1 of the 5 best female vocalist of all time. LInsey i have to give credit, is one of the more gifted guitar players around. Stevie, I watched her 2011 performance of "Stand Back" she is still dynamic as ever. Of course the backbone of the group, the bass and drummer have been there since the inception of the group. All I can say thx for 40 yrs of music

All that, with footnotes for original sources cited in Wilipedia. And matches up with interviews scattered through show I have seen over the years. The wiki article has a lot of info on the whole album and makes interesting reasing if you like Fleetwood.

[dbelger]

"Oh Daddy" was crafted spontaneously and includes improvised bass guitar patterns from John McVie and keyboard blips from Christine McVie. while the song "Oh Daddy" is a direct reference to Fleetwood, who the band considered "The Big Daddy". McVie commented that the writing is slightly sarcastic and focuses on the drummer's direction for Fleetwood Mac, which always turned out to be right. Nicks provided the final lines "And I can't walk away from you, baby/If I tried".

[rosepetal108]

@milkkratekriminal The song is about Mick Fleetwood, (the drummer) who originated the band. Yes there were a lot of double meanings floating around that band with lovers break ups cheating and every other sort of possible drama. That is the reason for the name of the album "Rumors" Listen to every song. That was one cheating messed up loving heart break band. But because it was real, somehow that raw emotion, good or bad, got put in every song.

@2:26 ... best harmonies EVER!

[lostsoul820]

I Love this Song!!! I also thought this song was about her Father...but I finaLLy realized that it was about her Love(when u really listen to the lyrics)...Yes Daddy is referring to the man! I call my oLd man Daddy too! Something I have done since we have been together!!..I miss music lik this!

[SilverWolfMoon]

@lostsoul820 Actually, it's not about a lover - it's about Mick Fleetwood, the 'daddy' of the band {he was also the only one with children at the time}.

The song for her new lover was 'You Make Loving Fun'.

[ozzyhead73]

@lostsoul820 actually this song was written by christine mcvie for mick fleetwood!!! her nickname for him was DADDY, and when her relationship with john mcvie was breaking up mick fleetwood was there to console her, so she wrote this for him!! i worked with a guy named JOHN COURAGE who was theyre road manager for 30 years and he told me the inside scoop on this song, he was there in the studio when she wrote it! look him up on wikipedia, he was also stevie nicks personal manager! LOVE THIS SONG!

[NaotaSama]

@lostsoul820 It's pretty obvious that the "daddy" christine is talking about is not her father, but john mcvie...

[lostsoul820]

@NaotaSama.....Its PrettY ObVioUs that I did say thouGht it was aboUt her DaD.....;}

[ReneeMcD1]

@lostsoul820 - she has said she wrote the song for Mick Fleetwood b/c he was the only father in the band when Rumours was recorded... not about John McVie, not about her own father. Written for a friend

[teknashend]

@ReneeMcD1 thanks for ruining the song asshole

now we have to settle for a meaningless song

seriously, fuck you

[shannonjoda1]

@lostsoul820 But many of the words can also fit a daughter and father. Many of the words fit me and my father.

[dalsenov]

[dena554]

@TheTristabelle not to let anyone know. I am the secound of three girls of my daddy. I have not been given away to a husband. I have been married twice. And my daddy has less than a year to live... I love you dad.......

[alexhe1988]

epic

[08smithw]

She wrote this for Mick Fleetwood as he was the only father in the band and also he seemed like a father to the band because he always lead the way.

[sciomachy]

She wrote this for her husband when they were going through a divorce.

[TeresaTantrum]

This is one cool song. Just depends on your take. Whether is you good experiences with the ole Man.

[sphinxcol]

My favorite Fleetwood Mac song. I just love Christine Macvie.

[caseyspaos]

@sphinxcol

Me too. My friends preferred Stevie Nicks, but I always thought Christine was more versatile.
