Great video again James. Never ever even considered the Blur reference whatsoever. I also just donated £5 towards the mastering of the new EP which I will most certainly be buying! Thank you for the amazing channel content and your efforts in bringing back the charts. We will all get there together!
Thanks so much Curtis, huge appreciation mate Too right we will! I think I'm going to be able to get the CD together and out much faster than last time, as I actually know what I'm doing now... So fingers crossed, shouldn't be long!
I can’t wait to hear it! Can I ask what are your plans touring wise? I know you are debuting in Manchester but I’m from Newcastle (as you can probably tell) I know I’m not too far from your way in Richmond but I’m wondering are you planning to do any tours up in Newcastle or Sunderland? Or is that sort of thing too far ahead?
@@abelstretford3097 Well the main thing right now we're building up to is our gig with the Oasis Podcast down in Manchester on Dec 11. But, as of next year, I'm going to be working on sorting out some gigs up and down the country, and Newcastle will definitely be on the hitlist! So, hopefully see you there!
I don't know why but Boneheads Bank Holiday is my favourite song with Noel on Vocals. To see an in depth look at the song has made for a great video in my eyes. Nice one James.
Great to see im not alone. Even before i knew Blur’s song Bank Holiday, i always thought this was a parody of sorts. The la-la-las and falsetto parts totally remind me of Charmless Man’s chorus.
Cheers Smitcher! Yeah the original vinyl mix was absolute chaos, the 3CD version was alot clearer, but I kind of wish they had just bookended the track with all the Bonehead and Liam stuff rather than having it running relentlessly from start to finish hahahahahaha It's a goofy but fun little tune
Excellent! I'd never paid too much attention to this song so had never got close to thinking of it in terms of blur. I'd love it if it was. Also, great work at the end with the sunday sport headline. I'd forgotten how entertaining that 'newspaper' could be!
There are 3 versions of the song, the original 1995 version has the Noel vocal with the Bonehead attempt mixed quietly underneath it. The vinyl reissue a few years later (2009?) has the Bonehead vocal mixed out and so Noel sounds more clear. Also the middle bit from the demo "shut your moaning..." is taken from an unreleased Noel song called Is That A Fact as revealed by the handwritten lyrics circulating online.
That Mojo was a classic for me as a kid. Literally about 5 songs off that Mod Club CD are in my ultimate playlist still. Thanks for summoning up those memories!
Class! It had never occurred to me about the potential Blur piss take but after listening to it there I'm convinced you're right! It has the same groove to it as Country House but suppose that would be coincidental as CH wouldn't have been released at that time.
Cheers! Re the Blur thing, I didn't even realise it until after I uploaded the video but they also reference 'my big house with my big car' which could also have been connected to Country House! And the guitar solo in the Blur song 'Bank Holiday' sounds a little bit like the silly outro guitar solo in BBH (although Noel has Oasis-ified it a bit). I think they might have been aware of the song, because Blur were gigging it, and at the time they were also aware of the upcoming singles schedule, because Blur kept moving their release date to the same date as Roll With It
Oasis and Blur might have known about own songs before The Battle of Britpop. Blur joked about 'morning glory' in Country House where Oasis joked about 'big house' in BBH.
The first time I listened to Morning Glory I listened to it on TH-cam. The playlist included Bonehead’s bank holiday as the last song. So the epic Champagne Supernova ended and I’m like wow. And then bank holiday comes on and I’m like oh what the-
Ah I've not heard BBH in years :) lost my tape of the vinyl I had as kid way back in the day (probably got chewed to bits in a shit argos Goodmans "walkman" PMSL). its class hearing a decent rendition... was singing along from memory even after 20 odd years :)
Fantastic video. I really appreciate your work documenting the history of Oasis. It’s like a window into the past. I always thought it was more inline with Digsys Dinner or Married With Children with that kind of indie guitar stomp. It reminds me of the Longpigs. The melody is great and there’s always space for nonsense lyrics. Calling it a blur song isn’t a bad thing either. Blur have some of the best songs ever written.
Love your work, James. In terms of hidden content on that album, by any chance (apologies if you covered this elsewhere, I haven't seen an answer) do you know what song/singer we hear at the end of the Morning Glory track for 1-2 seconds while we hear a radio tuning. Sounds like a female vocal of "this is the rythm of..." I've never seen an answer. I recall in Q Magazine many years ago, someone submitted this very question. And they printed a response, saying it was "The Swamp Song" which was obviously a very frustrating answer!
It's Soul II Soul's 'Love Enuff', was played heavily on UK Radio stations at the time. Always wondered myself for years. th-cam.com/video/AClU47GgsUM/w-d-xo.html
At a charity store I volunteer at, we have a CD copy of Definitely Maybe that I like to play, and everytime I play it, it upsets me that Sad Song isn't on the CD version. :(
VERSE LEAD CHORDS: The G is an A barred on 10, the Em is an Am barred on 7, the A is an A barred on 12, and the C9 is an open chord of C9, but played 12 frets up LA LA LA LA SECTION: All barre chords, but he changes them each time, sometimes using mostly A types, sometimes using all E types REST OF THE SONG: Regular open chords
I always been an advocate that “In my big house And my big car And all my friends there at the bar” Was a straight Blur diss for being posh (big house) and not knowing what it like to be real Brits (going to a US style bar as opposed to a pub). So in this context the “shut up moaning because you’re wasting my time” could be a direct message to Damon about not singing about real issues. Check out the video “Noel Gallagher Speaks” which is quite old and it is quite apparent Noel did hate Blur and especially Damon quite a bit and he himself states all the things I speculate this song was really about. Alan McGee also commented that he believed “Digsy’s Dinner” and “She’s Electric” to also be subtle Blur disses - Noel’s way of saying “I can write songs like that too, but better”. Noel certainly had a way of channeling his emotions (even hate in this case) into great songs which is why I think he was at his best when he was grinding - once he become complacent with success he seemed to be a bit more uninspired. Great vid and cover btw James!
“[Damon’s] such a pretentious cock. If he cares so much about American culture creeping into this country, then he should get a proper job. […] What does he know about this country? He’s a student, he studied music, he’s from Colchester. He knows fuck all. I’m not saying I’m better than him, but I worked on building sites, so therefore my soul is purer than his.” - Noel when asked about Damon & Parklife (c.2002-2004) Seems like quite the chip.
You know what I also find very interesting; how Guigsy apparently wrote some of his own songs (none used in Oasis) according to Chris Hutton. Also, holy crap, I really hope Bonehead releases those outtakes.
According to Noel they tried recording a "Ringo moment" song with Bonehead on lead vocals *twice* but as far as I know there is 0 information as to what the other song is.
Weird as this was the only track i put on the xb 360 before playing songs in games lost it's appeal. Bought acquiesce vid on it in 06.The original project gotham games or gta with chemical bros makes me all warm nd fuzzy inside. Cocaine=1 helluva drug🙄
For certain they are Beatles fans but one glaring intricacy is Oasis do not seem to have grasped Revolvèr. I was also into Revolver at that time and noticed that every song had a beginning a middle and an end. Oasis didnt really achieve the slight tiny little intros and outroes the Beatles had on that album.
I’ve spent the last 30 years thinking “Digsy’s Dinner” was called “Digsy’s Diner” bc that’s what the US cd said; that was down to you, soTa. “Bonehead’s B.H.” is definitely a swipe at Blah. Never liked those Mockney wankers.

The demo version is a deep song. Meanwhile, the studio version brings a smile to my face whenever it comes on
The connection with blur also thickens , when at the end you can here Liam singing in a posher accent like blur had .
I don't know why but Boneheads Bank Holiday is my favourite song with Noel on Vocals. To see an in depth look at the song has made for a great video in my eyes. Nice one James.
i feel like boneheads bankholiday is the digsys dinner of morning glory
I agree, it’s like how she’s electric is morning glory’s married with children
One of your best videos! BBH always brings out the kid in me.
Great to see im not alone. Even before i knew Blur’s song Bank Holiday, i always thought this was a parody of sorts. The la-la-las and falsetto parts totally remind me of Charmless Man’s chorus.
Bonehead’s Bank Holiday is such a brilliant song. One of my Oasis favourites believe it or not…
same though I have about 40 favourite oasis tune.. I do love the happy vibes of this tune
Golden as ever.
Thank you for keeping the dream alive!
Just absolutely amazing !!!!
Now !!! Waiting for Swamp song analysis
It’s a good day when James uploads
Glad to hear it :)
Great video again James, very interesting stuff. And loved you version of the song. It's actually quite a good song...

Brilliant video.

Great work James there’s so much on oasis on here your so consistent and find the secret things that make oasis great
Absolutely great video!
It's fair to say that we need an Oasis Anthology.
This is mega James, love it!!!
greetings from Peru and thanks for making this wonderful content
Great video. Thanks
Put the song as a standalone video! Just brilliant!
Really enjoyed that thanks James
Very welcome
This video made my day.
Great video. Very insightful. Tune definitely sounds like a crafty Blur pisstake
Great video as always James, donated!
Thanks so much Mark! Much appreciated mate 👍👍👍
I love this song, I always thought it's perfect to sing while drunk. The blur theory caught my attention jajaja.

Great video James you smash it ❤️
OMG James 🤭 you nailed it
Nailed it!
It’s totally a Blur song. I hope they play it live on one of the Wembley dates, with Damon as a special guest singing lead!
I always liked Bonehead. I hope he gets better soon.
What make are those sunglasses please ? They are well smart !

I love the gibberish that goes on in Bonehead's Bank Holiday
Hahahahaha yeah it's funny
I kind of hope one day they do a Beatles-style Anthology release where they release a bunch of the outtakes from BBH

I really wish they had released separate disc of outtakes with the Morning Glory deluxe edition.
Yeah mate, yeah. Nice one.

Thanks and welcome :)
You legend.
Nice job singing
The picture of Ringo Starr at 2:15 is kinda creepy…
The lyrics could well reference the song girls and boys as well as country house. So there might be something in that blur mickey taking!
Great video! What is the lead playing? Standard open chords or up the neck?
VERSE LEAD CHORDS:
The G is an A barred on 10,
the Em is an Am barred on 7,
the A is an A barred on 12,
and the C9 is an open chord of C9, but played 12 frets up
LA LA LA LA SECTION:
All barre chords, but he changes them each time, sometimes using mostly A types, sometimes using all E types
REST OF THE SONG:
Regular open chords
Your ep cover reminds me of that old Windows background
I always been an advocate that
“In my big house
And my big car
And all my friends there at the bar”
Was a straight Blur diss for being posh (big house) and not knowing what it like to be real Brits (going to a US style bar as opposed to a pub). So in this context the “shut up moaning because you’re wasting my time” could be a direct message to Damon about not singing about real issues.

Seems like quite the chip.
Very interesting
Actually bonehead's bank holiday sounds like charmless man 😂
Especially the la la la and the guitars 😂
dope vid
You sound better than the various AI Liams!
Also another version of this song IV herd with slight different lyrics
the electric guitar is definitely graham coxon style….good shout
Taking the piss out of Albarns vignette songs methinks 12:01
yeah but James we know that Sad Song has a Liam version - thoughts?
Fucking class James thanks you
You know what I also find very interesting; how Guigsy apparently wrote some of his own songs (none used in Oasis) according to Chris Hutton.
Also, holy crap, I really hope Bonehead releases those outtakes.
Are the electric guitar parts the same chords as acoustic just very trebly & gainy?
Sounds like je taime by serge gainsburg
Never knew how good boneheads bank holiday was as the title put me off a bit at the time 1 year before standing on the shoulders i had it on a bootleg
one of my favourite oasis songs just because of how bisarre it is
🤣 brilliant ✌
Cheers HEC!

Never understood y swamp song made 2 tracks on that album
Just to tie the album together I guess
I know this song from that NME tape, don't you know.
We need ai bonehead doing vocals
Demo Version!!
Her name was “Avaline”. “Have a line”….
I like the pun on “they say in the sun it’s fun, if you get some”.
ya defo it seems a blur song, it sounds like that
Her name was ‘ave a line….
Being cornish, the accents at the end severely offend me 😂
That electric guitar chop is very Coxon like.
