Oasis - D'You Know What I Mean?











  1. "D'You Know What I Mean?" - 7:22
  2. "Stay Young" - 5:06
  3. "Angel Child" (demo) - 4:28
  4. "Heroes" (David Bowie/Brian Eno)- 4:09

The song also shows more of Noel's influences. While the lyrics may seem inane and banal, references are included to Bob Dylan ("Blood on the tracks and it must be mine"), and The Beatles ("Fool on the hill and I feel fine"), and even their own earlier work ("Don't look back cos you know what you may see"). The song also features a drum loop from N.W.A.
The Morse code in the background translates to include such sayings as "Bugger All", "Pork Pies" and "Strawberry Fields Forever."
However, despite the critical coldness to the A-side, one of the B-sides, "Stay Young", has become a popular Oasis song, so much so that fans voted it onto the B-sides collection The Masterplan - one of only two B-sides from the Be Here Now period which made the album. The song was originally intended to be the "Digsy's Dinner" of Be Here Now (the lighthearted novelty track, such as "Digsy's Dinner" on Definitely Maybe and "She's Electric" on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?), until Noel set it aside in favour of "Magic Pie". Gallagher claims not to be particularly fond of the track.
