The Manchester lads emerged in the early 1990s with swagger, claimed almost immediately to be the biggest band in the world, and the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, were known as much for their sibling rivalry as for their timeless hits. Older brother Noel, who wrote the songs, didn\u2019t hide his influences either. And The Beatles remained his North Star during the band\u2019s most successful period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though there are many to choose from, here are three Oasis songs that directly reference The Beatles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cWonderwall\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oasis - Wonderwall (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6hzrDeceEKc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Noel Gallagher\u2019s defining song may not be his favorite Oasis tune, but for many, it was their anthem of the 1990s. The title comes from George Harrison\u2019s soundtrack album to the 1968 film <em>Wonderwall<\/em>. It was the first solo release by a Beatle and continued Harrison\u2019s interest in Indian classical music. For Gallagher, \u201cWonderwall\u201d widened his band\u2019s audience and helped indie rock further dominate the charts during the Britpop era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Because maybe,<br>You\u2019re gonna be the one that saves me.<br>And after all,<br>You\u2019re my wonderwall<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cD\u2019You Know What I Mean?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oasis - D&#039;You Know What I Mean?

The album title, again, references George Harrison, and the opening track nods to both Bob Dylan (<em>Blood On the Tracks<\/em>) and The Beatles (\u201cThe Fool On the Hill\u201d). Clocking in at nearly eight minutes, the song reached No. 1 in the U.K. and features a wall of guitars, echoing the bloat and excess of Britpop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Step off the train all alone at dawn,<br>Back into the hole where I was born,<br>The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me.<br>The blood on the tracks and they must be mine,<br>Fool on the hill and I feel fine,<br>Don\u2019t look back \u2019cause you know what you might see<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cSupersonic\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oasis - Supersonic (Official HD Remastered Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BJKpUH2kJQg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rock history is full of poetic moments like this: Oasis released \u201cSupersonic\u201d as its first single the same month Kurt Cobain died, April 1994. And Gallagher had also written \u201cLive Forever\u201d in response to Nirvana\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/nirvana\/i-hate-myself-and-i-want-to-die\">\u201cI Hate Myself And Want To Die\u201d<\/a>. Moreover, Britpop was, in part, a reaction to American grunge. And as a result, Oasis, as Nirvana had unwittingly done in America, shifted pop culture. It began with \u201cSupersonic\u201d, which, of course, references \u201cYellow Submarine\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You make me laugh,<br>Give me your autograph.<br>Can I ride with you in your BMW?<br>You can sail with me in my yellow submarine<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Michel Linssen\/Redferns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oasis was never shy.
