Some Might Say

Some Might Say was written by the Oasis lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. Some Might Say provided Oasis with their first number one on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top 10 in Finland, Iceland, Ireland and Sweden. The song is also the last to feature all five original members, as the drummer Tony McCarroll was fired shortly after the song's release. The track was inspired by the song Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo. Some Might Say was one of three songs from the album for which Noel Gallagher recorded a demo. He recorded it with producer Owen Morris, playing himself guitar, bass and the drums. However, no parts from the demo were eventually used in the album version; Noel played the demo to the band who then re-recorded everything, speeding up the tempo. The demo version of the song lasted much longer. Gallagher says he preferred the demo version to the final version, describing the demo as "dirtier and sleazier” rather than the final Oasis version which is "more Britpop".
