Talk:Whatever (Oasis song)

Tone[edit]

This article reads like a 3rd rate Q record review:

The song joins the infectious pop-rock melodies of Definitely Maybe with the more sophisticated lyrics of (What's the Story) Morning Glory, preaching universal tolerance and the acceptance of all ideas and beliefs in a typically straightforward, Mancunian way

It is a testament to Noel Gallagher's all-conquering self confidence[...]

There's also an awful lot of unsourced/unverifiable information and speculation throughout. In short, it's a total mess. --Dtcdthingy 13:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Oasis' Whatever Single Cover.jpg[edit]

Irish Documentary[edit]

Oasis: Guth - Episode:5 - Thursday, 24.10 @ 9.30pm, Irish documentary called Guth broadcast in Ireland on the channel TG4. Mostly in English, parts are Irish language. I can view it on the web player, but I'm not sure if that will work for long. At the 14 minute mark a commentator says that according to Paul Gallagher the song "Whatever" is about Noel rejecting a narrow sense of Irishness put forward by his father. -- 109.76.83.59 (talk) 21:43, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

I'm wondering why the Genre section is non-existent ScotlandLaddie04 (talk) 18:36, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because editors like you keep messing with it and adding unsourced genres. dannymusiceditor ^oops 20:42, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

Guys if you're reading this page and see this I just want to say Whatever isn't pop music regardless of what the source says or what the genre says. ScotlandLaddie04 (talk) 11:31, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
