YMMV / (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

• Applicability: Probably the reason why "Champagne Supernova", with its ridiculous lyrics, is a fan favourite is because it means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. As Noel said in a 2009 interview:
  This writer, he was going on about the lyrics to "Champagne Supernova", and he actually said to me: "You know, the one thing that's stopping it being a classic is the ridiculous lyrics". And I went: "What do you mean by that?" And he said: "Well, Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball — what's that mean?" And I went: "I don't know. But are you telling me, when you've got 60,000 people singing it, they don't know what it means? It means something different to every one of them".
• Death of the Author: Just who "Sally" from "Don't Look Back in Anger" is supposed to be has been debated among fans for years, despite Noel saying numerous times that it is not any specific person (Noel has stated in an interview he did alongside Liam, that the name was Liam's idea). This still hasn't stopped people pestering him about it. To this day, fans still come up with such Epileptic Trees theories as her being a former girlfriend of one of the bandmates, the same subject as The Stone Roses' song "Sally Cinnamon", and even being a metaphor for drugs.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: "Champagne Supernova" was not released as a single anywhere else but North America, where its probably the band's best known song outside of "Wonderwall".
• Harsher in Hindsight: "Don't Look Back in Anger" contains the lyric, "Please don't put your life in the hands of a rock and roll band who'll throw it all away". Over the next few years, this rock and roll band really did throw it all away.
• Memetic Mutation: "Anyway, here's 'Wonderwall'".^Explanation Thanks to its fame, simple arrangement, and easy-to-learn melody, "Wonderwall" became a common fixture for amateur guitarists, especially at parties. The sheer prevalence of the song among this crowd resulted in it becoming a subject of jokes, often revolving around people segueing into cover versions of "Wonderwall" at comedically inappropriate times.
• Signature Song: "Wonderwall" takes the cake, of course, but also "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova" definitely qualify, coming second overall in Oasis' overall career. Then again, most of the songs on the album are popular tracks among the band's overall material.
