The 1977 Christine McVie song Mick Fleetwood loves most: “I believe it is about me”With most rock bands, the burden of songwriting weighs heavily on one person’s shoulders, which can get heavy and cause an imbalance of power.
For Mick Fleetwood, it was ‘Oh Daddy’ that made the biggest impact from McVie’s pen.
In a documentary about the making of Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 magnum opus, Rumours, Fleetwood named ‘Oh Daddy’ as “one of [his] favourite songs” that McVie had recorded, calling it “fantastic”.
It’s no surprise that ‘Oh Daddy’ takes the title for Fleetwood’s favourite song penned by McVie, considering that he inspired its subject matter.
“I believe it is about me, ‘Oh Daddy’…” he explained, “And I was the only father in the band at that point.”
