Noel Gallagher wrote this song in one day. The band had most of Definitely Maybe recorded and mixed at the time but Noel and the guys couldn't agree on which song would be their first single so he wrote this. Alan McGee, who produced the album, wanted "Bring It On Down" to be the first but changed his mind as soon as he heard this.
The lyrics are more or less nonsense - especially interesting the lines, "I know a girl called Elsa, she's into Alka-Seltzer" - the band loves to tell that those are related to a huge female dog called Elsa, that spent her days underneath the mixing-desk, constantly farting.
After the first recording session with producer Dave Batchelor was abandoned because they couldn't get the powerful live sound they were after, the song went to a second session recorded by Mark Coyle and produced by Owen Morris, who subsequently became the band's producer for the next four years, a time when the band recorded the hit albums Definitely Maybe, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? and Be Here Now.
