This song is... good, catchy, weird in its way... but where's Liam's attitude? It sounds like the jingly-jangly background music to a light-hearted TV commercial. Not what I was expecting.

I do love the Beatles-ish backing vocals and the Pink Floyd-ish background noises.

For the record, BDI is fantastic and I absolutely love what they've been doing. Can't wait for the album and tour.

Has everyone gone mental? I like the style of it and the lyrics but it's a shite song. I could do better, seriously.

I didn't misunderstand. I was responding to your very clear ”it’s a rip off" posts and not your now new and convenient opinion of:"they're moving into the area of plaigarism."

Fair enough if that's what you now think, but before my last post you weren’t calling them that. "blatant rip-offs." are the words you were using:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I’ll take it you have began to change your mind and maybe even this thread has helped you do that. You've made the jump from ”Rip Off” to ”moving into the area of paigarism.” .

...You now just need to take the next step to: Not Plagiarism and then we should all be in agreement.

They call him the troller ah ah ahhh

yuh he's an elvis peer. But it's easily mistaken if you just look at him. as a kid i thought he was older cause "beyond the sea" and "mack the knife" are big band tunes.

I can't stop listening to this song. I've been a huge skeptic so far especially with many songs lacked originality. This song despite some videos posted has no clear ripoffs and no clear influence. It's just straight blues with great lyrics. My favorite song by BE yet.

<acquiesceyeah>

I was expecting them to release 5 songs that would make Sgt. Pepper, Definitely Maybe, Pet Sounds, Dark Side and every other great album look like they were put out by your local 6th grade band. The fact that these songs are merely 'great' is a massive dissapointment to me!

Damn, html tags don't work on UBB

I have a feeling this song was written about Noel...the references to not going out correlates with stories coming out of the Oasis camp during the DOYS era when Noel would not interact with his fellow band members. According to numerous reports, he basically turned into a hermit, being only interested in "televisions and dusty windows". If we believe the multitude of rumours from the time, Noel had a penchant for sitting on his back and thinking of the good old days and remembering the times when he hadn't orchestrated the demise of Oasis - he whiled the hours away, but it was the bad influence on his life, Alan McGee, who told him to "stop dreaming about what might have been". Noel was running out of ideas; he started to realise that Liam, Gem and Andy were more talented than him and ergo became bitter of his loss of fortunes. Finally, Noel realised he 'had lost his way', and decided to split the band up in an act of sour grapes. But he never expected Beady Eye. No-one expected Beady Eye.

Long live Beady Eye.

Yup. Noel brought the light to Oasis, and the rest of the band got to see. It was ecstasy! So much so, he took the band drinking. Can't get much clearer than that.


;D

Can definitely hear SHE'S A WOMAN in this tune - particularly when you compare it to McCartney's 1993 unpugged performance.

This song could be The importance of being idle ´s little sister: the songs talks about lazyness and some kind of angry old man (Noel???). This is so Kinks... I can hear Ray and Dave singing in it.
