FUCKIN' IN THE BUSHES. Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants album track. Familiar To Millions live-album track

time 3:18 album Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants album Familiar To Millions

This instrumental opening track of 'Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants' is undoubtably the most experimental track in the Oasis repetoire. Fuckin' In The Bushes was developed around a drum pattern from the sessions with UNKLE (James Lavelle & DJ Shadow) for whom Noel remixed The Knock On Effect.

The track opens with a sample from Murray Lerner's film 'Message To Love - Isle Of Wright' from 1970. more info » The sample features the embittered promoter at the Isle of Wight Festival, complaining: We put this festival on you bastards With a lot of love We worked for one year for you pigs And you wanna break our walls down And you wanna destroy us Well you go to hell Noel "We used to laugh at some of the characters in the film, so we sampled them. The beginning bit is the promoter, moaning at all the hippies who were kicking down the perimeter fencing. The little old lady you hear at the end is some eccentric toff who just gets right into the weekend and smokes pot, so she obviously loses the plot. It's the most radical track. I imagine when people hear it for the first time, they'll go:"what the fucking hell have these lads been up to the last three years?''

Fuckin' In The Bushes is one of many Oasis songs featured on movie soundtracks. This particular track is in fact the most dominating song in the film, with a playing time of 7½ minutes, of Guy Ritchie's blockbuster 'Snatch'.
