She's Electric by Oasis

I was never particularly keen on Oasis, but felt the peer pressure from Gallagher-mad friends; so when I was given a Boots voucher for Christmas (why do people do this to you?), I bought (What's the Story) Morning Glory? on cassette. I listened to it quite a lot in an attempt to 'get into' Oasis, and at first I thought the catchy, upbeat 'She's Electric' was a great track. But then I listened to it some more and thought 'Hang on. Where do I know that tune from?' The Oasis boys, known for both stealing melodies ('Shakermaker' is basically 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing') and keeping a rhyming dictionary handy, pinched the tune for 'She's Electric' from the 1980s children's TV series 'You and Me'. Crafty. The lyrics are laughable, and contain the sort of lazy, ridiculous rhymes that a primary school teacher would tell their children off for. All in all, it's a rancid filler track on an album that had inexplicable commerical success. I'd better watch out though - Liam might come round and 'do me motor'...

Crap lyrics: "She's got a sister/And god only knows how I've missed her/On the palm of her hand is a blister..." It's probably possible to read meaning into this, but I don't want to unnecessarily harm my brain.

Verdict: The (What's the Story) Morning Glory? cassette was donated to a charity shop many years ago...
