Wonderwall is one of the most boring songs ever

It's just the same note over and over.

Plus a wonderwall isn't even a thing.

@DollopOfFun oh no has that happened? I would be so embarrassed to witness that 🙈

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 17/07/2026 23:37

First two albums were great at the time. I stopped after that. But Wonderwall is one of the least inspiring. I do love a nostalgic blast of Cigarettes & Alcohol and Slide Away in the car tho.

roshi42 · 17/07/2026 23:36

It is so so shit. Incredibly droney. Oddly catchy though…! For a song that, as OP said, has all of 3 notes in it.

Total agreement from me. They look and sound like whiny, boring fuckers.
Droning nonsense.

It's a boring dirge. How on earth it was adopted as a football anthem is beyond me.
But then I don't get Oasis mania af all.

MySneakyLion · 17/07/2026 23:28

Yeah I never really understood the popularity of Oasis. Neither of them can sing for toffee.

Dreadful song. Like most of theirs. I’ve never understood the love for Oasis, dull, monotonous and repetitive. They were referred to as successors to the Beatles when they first started up. My arse.

Yes, it takes more than having thick dark glossy hair and a fringe

Netcurtainnelly · 17/07/2026 23:25

It's crap.

Morepositivemum · 17/07/2026 23:23

I always thought this, Masterplan, Champagne Supernova and Live Forever should have been played much more than wonderwall!!

Funny you should mention bricks and chewing gum. That whiney Manc cunt sounds like he's got a mouth full of them both.

SugarSpunSoul · 17/07/2026 23:18

I agree OP!

Palomiino · 17/07/2026 23:18

I agree - it’s an awful song.

It's a dirge.

That sums it up actually

Gizzasec · 17/07/2026 23:17

The words are just inane nonsequiturs.
"There are many things that I would like to say to you / But I don't know how." Yep, you said it, lads.

SqueakyFromme · 17/07/2026 23:16

I guess brick or chewing gum doesn't sound as good

Probably popular because it's easy to get the notes right when there's only two of them in the whole frigging "tune".

I love Wonderwall. (I also like sweet Caroline..)

I kind of get finding some songs mind numbingly boring though e.g. I just don't get Taylor swift. I find her incredibly insipid but obviously a large part of my fellow human beings beg to differ.

Regarding sweet Caroline I think people love singing it because you can really belt it out. But then Wonderwall isn't exactly a beltable song so no idea about that. I hadn't realised actually it's popular at football matches.

DollopOfFun · 17/07/2026 23:08

I can live with the Mike Flowers version though

RampantIvy · 17/07/2026 23:08

It's a dirge.

Prefer the Ryan Adams version!

I haven't heard his version but his version of anyone's songs are better than the original, it's a shame he's a predator.

DollopOfFun · 17/07/2026 23:07

It's absolute dirge.

I don't hate Oasis, I was at Knebworth yada yada but even back then, I couldn't stand it.

All the blokes in Ben Sherman checked shirts, standing in a circle with their hands clasped behind their backs, singing into each others faces at 1:30am in the nightclubs.
