Songfacts®:

  • Noel Gallagher describing this song in the May 2005 Q Magazine: "Like Elvis on crack. Zak's (Starkey - Ringo Starr's son) playing a box of Weetos with two wooden spoons. We played it at Glastonbury like The Stooges, but kept the Elvis '56 vibe for the record."
  • This was used as the theme tune for a promo advertising British TV channel Sky's coverage of the 2005-06 football season. >>>
