THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

758-Oasis-Champagne Supernova.

1996-Has never been released as a single in the UK.

Best Bit-At 5.46.Noel Gallagher would be the first to admit that some of his songs could be a little on the long side, but I wish this one could go on even longer.

In 2009 Noel Gallagher said,’This writer was going on about the lyrics to ‘Champagne Supernova,’ and he said,’You know, the one thing that’s stopping it being a classic is the ridiculous lyrics,’ quoting,’Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball,’what’s that mean?”And I went,’ I don’t know, but are you telling me when you’ve got 60,000 people singing it, they don’t know what it means? It means something different to every one of them.’

As for the songs actual meaning Gallagher has also said,’I have still not made my mind up as to what the song is actually about. It means different things when I’m in different moods.’The line ‘Where were you when we were getting high,’ is something that the band used to say to each other, as a joke.’

‘Champagne Supernova’ is the final track on Oasis’ most critically acclaimed Album ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory,’ it is the best selling Album of the 1990’s, and the third best selling studio Album in the UK of all time (see also best songs 1006 and 15.) Oasis were joined by Paul Weller on this track, who played lead guitar, and also sang backing vocals.

‘How many special people change?How many lives are livin’ strange? Where were you while we were getting high?
