This song came from a bit of messing about in the studio with a friend of the band named Digsy. Noel Gallagher was on drums and Digsy had the microphone, was singing about lasagna and just generally joking about.
Gallagher commented in Isle of Noises by Daniel Rachel: "If you wrote 'Digsy's Dinner' now, The Guardian or the music papers would destroy you. It's a song about going to someone's house for lasagne – you only write songs like that when you're free of inhibitions."
Digsy returned the favor to Noel by writing a song called "Noel's Nose," which was a little tongue-in-cheek.
Speaking on XFM, Creation Records founder Alan McGee said he believed the song was a parody of Oasis' Britpop rivals, Blur. "I think it was a piss-take of Blur," he said. "I don't think Noel's ever admitted to that. It's a piss-take of that Britpop thing. It was Noel proving that he could do that in his sleep."
