== Recording dates ==

'''The Source'''

The article's infobox says the song was recorded in Spring/Summer 1995. Could someone more knowledgable than me on matters regarding Oasis please put the months it was recorded in. As someone who lives in the southern hemisphere, Spring/Summer is during the other ''side'' of the year (ie, September to March). Thank you. - [[User:Akamad|Akamad]] 12:39, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

== Song Meaning ==

If someone would care to update the song meaning to reflect the fact that Noel Gallagher has often stated that even he doesn't remember what it means, and all the other meanings are nothing but conjecture, that would be nice and make the article accurate, as it now is not. I'll do this as soon as I have time, but I don't right now. Thanks, BY =] -

==Response section==

In the "Response" section, why is it that only the "Commercial" part is tagged for improvement by expansion, but not the "Critical" (which is equally short), or "Legacy" sections? -- [[User:K1darkknight|K1darkknight]] ([[User talk:K1darkknight|talk]]) 19:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

==Johann Pachelbel==

Why is there no word about the reference of this song to the [[Pachelbel's_Canon|Canon in D major]] by [[Johann_Pachelbel|Johann Pachelbel]] in this article?

When listening to the song it is obvious, and it is not just a inspiration but a copy. [[Special:Contributions/77.3.58.46|77.3.58.46]] ([[User talk:77.3.58.46|talk]]) 03:52, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

'''==The Source'''==

this John Lennon tape that Noel plagiarised, does anyone which tape he means, can it be linked to another page in the wikipedia, or an external page?

Line 8 ⟶ 27:

:It was some bootleg recordings.--[[User:Crestville|Crestville]] 16:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

'''==Lyric "meanings" are ambiguous'''==

Noel Gallagher himself has said he does not remember what "stand up beside the fireplace, take that look from off your face," or many of the other lines of this song refer to -- meaning anything posing as definitive explanation is nothing but conjecture, and should be labeled as such.

:Noel Gallagher says a lot of things. His interviews are inconsistant. He definately said that the ''fireplace'' line was realted to the photograph story. I'll find a refernce for it if there isn't one.--[[User:Crestville|Crestville]] 14:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Oasis author Paolo Hewitt revealed in an interview on tv that that line was because as a child, Noel looked quite moody when he had photos taken, and that his mother Peggy just told him to "cheer up" and stand by the fireplace for a photo.

In the Stop the Clock bonus dvd, Noel says that Liam co-wroted the song. Can someone add Liam as the co-wroter? [[User:67.68.107.222|67.68.107.222]]

=="Love Is the Law"==

Presumably this and/or [[Sally Cinnamon]] were influences on [[The Seahorses]]' "Love is the Law"?

:Strap-on Sally chased us down the alley

:We feared for our behinds

:Oasis was a shop with shoes so hot

:They were sure to blow your mind.

== Patrick MacNee ==

In the music video section it says Patrick MacNee doesn't remember the filming of the music video. There is no citation, so is that just a joke put in by a vandal, or is it a genuine fact? It seems quite strange for it to be a true fact. I've searched for it on google and there are mentions of it, but I can't see an obvious news/gossip website article stating he can't remember it [[User:Forfica|Forfica]] ([[User talk:Forfica|talk]]) 19:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I've now removed that "Macnee has no recollection of the filming of the video." from the music video section as it just seems silly to include something like that which is completely unverified. Feel free to put it back if you find a source. [[User:Forfica|Forfica]] ([[User talk:Forfica|talk]]) 12:17, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Lennon ==

Does anyone know why John Lennon didn't get additional songwriting credits on this song, that's usually what happens when it comes out that a song plagiarized, the original artist gets partial credit. Especially with this having stuff from two Lennon songs, and stuff from his tapes. [[User:Iminrainbows|Iminrainbows]] ([[User talk:Iminrainbows|talk]]) 23:30, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

== "Notable appearances in the media" ==

What's the definition here of "notable"? At the moment people seem to be interpreting it as "Every single show I've seen where the song has been played at some point", which is asking for trouble, surely?

== Look Back in Anger ==

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention that the songtitle is an ironic reference to [[John Osborne]]'s [[Social Realism|social realist]] play "''Look Back in Anger''" (1956), still remembered as the source of the phrase [[Angry Young Man]], its style contrasting with the genteel and understated work of [[Terence Rattigan]] and others. Thanks to it, [[Northern England|Northern]] and [[working class]] life came to be seen as fit subjects for drama, and for culture generally.
