I'll second that.  My personal favorite Oasis tune.  It also happens to be one that I can play reasonably well, so that helps.

MB, I don't know how old you are, but it makes me feel old by how you described your dad telling you about the song.

I thought the same thing.

Reminds me of a story about my niece.  She was 10 years old when Wayne's World came out in 1992.  Needless to say I'm a bit older.  She came to me one day, very excited, and asked me if I had heard that great "new" song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by "some band" named Queen.

I just looked at her, smiled, and said, "Sweetheart, that song is older than you are."

"In 1930, when Bobby Jones won the Grand Slam, he carried 14 clubs in his bag. The 14 clubs were a Driver, Brassie ,Spoon, Long Spoon, Driving Iron, Iron 1, Mid-Iron 2, Mashie-Iron 3, Iron 4, Mashie 5, Spade-Mashie 6, Mashie-Niblick 7, Niblick 8, Cleek Iron, Concave-Sand Wedge and his famous putter, Calamity Jane."

At first, Ringo wanted to call the song "Sand Wedge," but John said that wasn't poetic enough. Paul suggested , "Mashie Niblick," which John liked, but he worried that Americans would think they were singing about drugs. George, observing his bandmates with an air of bemused aloofness, smiled and suggested, "Putter."

Paul laughed. Ringo complained, "I don't get it."

"It's shagging, you bleeding idiot," Paul replied, giving Mr. Starkey a dope slap.

"Naw, naw, naw," John interupted, "all you need is love, not sex."

The boys nodded gravely. Ringo rubbed the back of his head and observed silently, "If I lived in a yellow submarine, he couldn't hit me like that."

"Look," John said, "I got blistahs on my fingahs from  this bloody driver that a cute bird gave me in Oslo--mates, I'm callin' this song 'Norwegian Wood' and that's final!"

But you know what? I was digging through my dads record collection and I found a great song about deforestation in Scandanavia, and it's not too hard to play. I think it's called "Norwegian Wood." I bet NOBODY has heard of that one. Have you? It's by some band called "The Bangles" or "The Bee Gees" . . . I don't know, something with a B. The "Beastie Boys" maybe. Or "The Beetle Boys."

You'er kidding right MB?

BTW nice job GP -- do you still have the arch top??  very cool piece.

Go and listen to 'Masterplan' if you want a great Oasis song.

It's the new "Stairway to Heaven!"

I can't remember the conversation verbatim, but that one where he was at the Brit awards about 5 years ago and he was asked by an interviewer was he looking forward to watching The Scissor Sisters perform.

"Er, no," he said.

So the interviewer said: "Well what will you do when they perform then, Noel?" To which he replied:  "Probably go for a sh*te!!!"

Hahaha.

Go and listen to 'Masterplan' if you want a great Oasis song.

Beautiful one that.

MB, I don't know how old you are, but it makes me feel old by how you described your dad telling you about the song.  I don't particularly care for it, but Wonderwall is on everyone's easy play list I think. I don't know if Oasis has anything out in recent years. The Gallagher brothers are notorious for having spats and braking up the band.

The Gallaghers made some great music with Oasis, even if they did steal every riff the Beatles ever came up with. Noel quit the band after a huge bust up in Paris in 2010. He set up his own band, The High Flying Birds, and they're a great band. They're actually starting a world tour next month kicking off in the US in Milwaukee.

Liam and the rest of band have carried on recording under the name Beady Eye.
