Lawyer - What the hell! I thought you were dead! Where are you?
Jim - In the Great Beyond man
Lawyer - ....You're in Winnipeg?
Jim - No Man, I've broken on through...I'm on the Other Side. Can you dig it man?
Lawyer - Wow! So what's it like there Jim?
Jim - Crazy baby, I'm jamming with Hendrix and Janus.
Lawyer - That is awesome! So what can I do for you Jim?
Jim - It's Oasis...they stole my song. Waiting for the Rapture is a ripoff of Five to One. You've got to sue them.
Lawyer - Ahhh Jim, what will that accomplish? After all, you are dead.
Jim - Oh yeah man....bummer. Hey gotta go, I'm writing some new songs with Jerry Garcia.
Lawyer - Cool, I'd love to hear them.
Jim - Oh you won't have to wait long
Lawyer - What? What do you mean? Jim?.....Jim?....
Bravo-very funny. |

This latest album is reminding me why I was SO in to these guys in the 90s... I think they've really hit on the energy they had back then. |

Not to mention the Lennon estate for that riff from Cold Turkey. |

shameless, these prats are. pretty sure the only original creation that they have within them is the BM they produce each morning...ponderous how "we" have afforded them a life of extravagance based on their baseless portfolio.

At first I thought some one was covering 5 to 1. Then it went on. Never heard this before, OK if I never hear it again. Never made a negative song comment before, but this one goes against the grain.

I'm sure you meant to type The Doors when you types The Beatles. If the beginning of this song and the entire drum beat is not a complete rip-off of "Five to One," I will eat my hat. One more "boo" from me for Oasis. |

I pretty much gave up on Oasis a long time ago (Love Morning Glory). But everything I've heard here off of this CD is pretty good. May have to give them another chance... |

On nearly every Oasis you can transparently hear the particular songs they're borrowing from. Sometimes it works, this is one of the better ones I guess.

Is anyone else picking up the blatant rip off of Jim Morrison/The Doors 'five-to-one'? I liked Oasis better when they had their own sound....  |

If Oasis is waiting for the rapture, does that mean next they'll be ripping off Blondie? 'Cause the man from Mars is through with cars, and now he only eats guitars!
