Oasis favourite lyrics revealed ahead of Wembley gigs - and it might annoy some fans
Fans will be singing along to all the songs at Wembley but some Oasis lyrics are more memorable than others
New research has revealed the UK's most memorable Oasis lyrics come from a track sung by Noel Gallagher and not Liam.
The most loved lyric was 'Don't look back in anger…I heard you say', followed by fan favourites like 'I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me' from Wonderwall and 'You and I are gonna live forever' from Live Forever.
Don't Look Back In Anger, sung by Noel, has been a crowd favourite on the current Oasis tour, and makes up part of the shows encore. Fans have been seen on social media videos loudly singing the lines back at the band for most songs.
This week the show moves to London and Wembley Stadium with lots of A-list celebrities expected to be on the guest list. A total of 2000 people were polled about Oasis lyrics for the survey by car rental firm SIXT. A total of 44% said an emotional impact is what makes a lyric iconic. 35% valued clever wordplay or rhyme and 13% say an Oasis song has helped them reconnect with someone.
