Magic Pie Track Comments
Noel Gallagher - I sang this one. Of course, me and Liam had a row about it. 'Why can't I sing that?' 'OK, I'll do Fade In/Out then.' 'No, you won't.' But it's his favourite track now. The first line, 'An extraordinary guy/Can never have an ordinary day', comes from him asking me, 'How come you never get into any of the situations I get into?' And i borrowed something from Tony Blair's speech at the Labour Party conference last autumn (There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years).

The vocal harmonies are quite psychedelic. The jazzy bit at the end is played on a Mellotron which was made for the The Beatles' Abbey Road sessions. All I did was run my elbows across the keys and this mad jazz came out and everyone laughed.

The magic pie happened when I was pissed and looking in a rhyming dictionary for a word with an 'i' ending. I saw 'magpie', but I read it as 'magic pie'. I thought, That conjures up a few things.

Why wasn't Stay Young on the album? Noel says "Well..we recorded the B-sides and then it was a choice between Magic Pie or Stay Young on the album. I sing Magic Pie so thats why!

4 stars  Keep it going... and going..., 08/03/2007, by dawilli2
I dont care what people say about being too long etc. The whole album had ridiculously long tracks but Oasis is the one band where I dont care how long it goes on for, they're overal sound is intoxicating. This song is f*ckin brilliant vocally and it sounds awesome. It could go on for 15 mins I wouldnt care...

3 stars  About two minutes too long, 04/03/2007, by illinoize88
I really like this song up until the last two minutes of the outro. It gets really boring.
