Ok I admit it, I don’t really like Oasis that much. Sure they write some great songs and they do have a knack for creating some great harmonies. But when I heard that all the Oasis tickets were sold out for the Edmonton show, I shrugged and said “meh.” I don’t hate them but I’m not for them, they are in the middle. You know what bugs me most about them, it’s the lyrics. Simple, and just dumb, they don’t make sense. I think they just took a word and went through a dictonary and found the words that rhymed with it, then made a song. All of this is evident in “She’s Electric” but it somehow….works. Why is this song great? So great that it belongs in the GOAT list? Well it’s a perfect little brit pop song, one of the most perfect ones. It’s so Oasis but the good kind, the non brashful and not I’m trying to be the best writers in the world Oasis. The lyrics are retarded, but the tone of Liam is perfect, even his off key chorus is just cute. Especially when he wants to be electric too, and I don’t know if he’s talking about a girl or the sister of the girl, or the mother of the girl. I don’t know, but it’s cute nonetheless. Very Beatles like, you can even hear Paul McCartney writing this. It’s a stand out track in an album (What’s the Story…)full of stand out tracks, one that escapes most people. But right now, if it was released today would strike gold. Even above Wonderwall and Morning Glory and Rock and Roll Star, it took me a while to decide between the lot, but I always came back to this song. It’s witty, charming, modest, and catchy. Everything ironically that Oasis is not (in my books anyways). Argue amongst yourselves.
