On April 24, 1995 (or as they would say in the U.K., 24 April), legendary Britpop duo Oasis released "Some Might Say," the first single off their wildly popular album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
That album birthed some of the Gallagher brothers' most popular songs, including "Don't Look Back In Anger," "Champagne Supernova," and of course, their biggest hit of all time, "Wonderwall" — the global anthem for white guys with acoustic guitars.
But "Some Might Say" paved the way for the massive success of the rest of the album — it was Liam and Noel Gallagher's first song to hit No. 1 in the U.K. In fact, it even debuted at No. 1, its first week on the charts also being its only week in the top position, as it slid to No. 2 a week later.
British music magazine Melody Makernamed it Single of the Week, calling it "Oasis' best yet." The reviewer wrote, "I'm utterly hooked on these hooks. This just climbs and climbs and then the way that note just hans there in the final crescendo and trails off, onward and upward, all the way to heaven... aahhh!!"
The Drama Behind the 'Some Might Say' Music Video
The music video for "Some Might Say" is an interesting one. It consists of footage from two of their other music videos, "Supersonic" and concert footage from "Cigarettes and Alcohol," all stylized in black and white.
As it turns out, there's a reason they didn't record an original music video. It's because Liam Gallagher didn't bother to show up to the video shoot.
Noel Gallagher explained the situation in an interview (via Far Out). "You’ll notice this video is an amalgam of other videos because ‘Elvis’ couldn’t be bothered turning up to the video shoot," he said, throwing cheeky shade at his brother. "We had all driven out to some motorway service station at eight in the morning to be met by someone saying, ‘Liam’s not coming because he doesn’t like the script.’”
