I think Song Bird is the best song on Oasis' album. Sadly it's not the sort of thing to go to number one because, as we have prooved, no good music (well not much) goes to number one.
Songbird is a great little song as a sort of mid album ditty if you will, but whether it stands up on its own as a single? Hmmm.... We'll find out tomorrow I guess.
I think it because of the video and the whole "All things she said running through my head" line gets stuck in your head, as I often walk round the house singing the bugger
Of course the video to songs helps it sell well, it had a similar effect with Kylie and "Can't get you out of my head" I bet if some blokes did a video practically naked it would sell well. As long as it's not Blink 182 that is, as it hasn't really helped them get No1.
