For a limited time get up to 45% off VSL’s SYNCHRON-ized libraries and GPU Audio’s Vienna Power House: Oasis co-frontman Noel Gallagher never made a secret of his use of other classic songs as building blocks in his new tunes.

The outro music to this video is my track “Clap“ which you can hear in full on Spotify: And, an extra special thanks goes to Douglas Lind, Vidad Flowers, Ivan Pang, Waylon Fairbanks, Jon Dye, Austin Russell, Christopher Ryan, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇 SOURCES: Have Oasis plagiarised Cliff Richard?
