How good is this song though? Like for real it’s like an out of body experience when you listen to it, like you’re sliding down rainbows and you land on a bed of clouds while it rains glitter. A magical mystery tour indeed, feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t appreciate its genius tbh

Cracking tune in there, there really is.

I think what people need to realise that we essentially only ever heard the "Noel Gets to the Point" version of this song. Loads of Be Here Now tunes sound shit at that gig, because Noel just wasn't built for a certain type of song, and this is one of them. Get Liam singing it and it improves dramatically, those verses would sound next-level with his vocals.

Not as bad as far down the list of songs as it could have been thanks to Liam, Gem, and Andy.

Probably a good tune in there somewhere but overlong.

Another Magic Pie thread, excellent.

Yeah, how many more are we going to have? Isn't one enough. 

According to this post it looks like he was asked recently actually. The response: "Fuck knows, I was high as a kite."

I was right! Q magazine August 97:
Magic Pie
"I sang this one. Of course, me and Liam had a row about it. 'Why can't I sing
that?' 'OK, I'll do Fade In/Out then.' 'No, you won't.' But it's his favourite
track now. The first line, 'An extraordinary guy/Can never have an ordinary
day', comes from him asking me, 'How come you never get into any of the
situations I get into?' And i borrowed something from Tony Blair's speech at
the Labour Party conference last autumn ("There are but a thousand days
preparing for a thousand years").

"The vocal harmonies are quite psychedelic. The jazzy bit at the end is played
on a Mellotron which was made for the The Beatles' Abbey Road sessions. All I
did was run my elbows across the keys and this mad jazz came out and everyone
laughed.

"The magic pie happened when I was pissedand looking in a rhyming dictionary
for a word with an 'i' ending. I saw 'magpie', but I read it as 'magic pie'. I
thought, That conjures up a few things."

Why wasn't Stay Young on the album? Noel says "Well..we recorded the B-sides
and then it was a choice between Magic Pie or Stay Young on the album. I sing
Magic Pie so thats why!

The song is shit but it would have sounded a little better if Liam had sung it I think.

I dont like pies, taste weird. But i enjoy Magic Pie. It's a piece of history. It probably shouldn't be there in the first place, but what the hell, it's still enjoyable.

2018 was three years ago? That’s some real bullshit right there.
