A lot of limp dad-rock music has these themes running though it. Cue Steely Dan.

I didn't say they couldn't play, but I do find this music to be way too hammy and smooth for my tastes, and lyrically I find them to be an incredibly cheesy band.
That one tune about the singer being "the other man" is laughably cornball in its narrative, and that's one of their more "edgy/dirty" numbers.
I'm sorry, I just can't hang.
