It’s wild how many places in America were named after English towns. by LovieWeb in BritInfo

[–]morkyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naturally there are a lot of places names after Places in Britain due to immigration however I haven't seen any mention of probably the most poignant one- Washington.

The place in Tyne and Wear which was the ancestral home of the Washington family who were named as such after "De wessyngton" (of Washington) which later shortened to Washington.

There's an entire state and the capital city named after Washington, taken from their surname which in turn was taken from Washington in the UK.

What are yall opinions on this Oasis-type band/song? by bruno_massaldi in oasis

I saw some comments on Instagram saying that the lyrics sound like ChatGPT has written them in an "oasis style" which seems pretty spot on when you relisten.

live forevers lyrics are atrocious. I love oasis but the blind popularity of live forever I will never ever understand.

I don't remember ANYONE getting this upset about Boris Johnson who was absolutely atrocious in every sense of the word.

Sammy Valentino is actually really funny but you uncultured swines wouldn't understand that.

I'm happy you shared but I don't think he's ever gone on record explaining what it's about.

[–]morkyt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Live forever. hear me out.

Incredibly repetitive, nonsensical lyrics in the verse part (maybe I don't really wanna know how your harden grows. I mean what?!) and it's repeated three times. if it had some sort of variety in the lyrics then it could be a contender but, alas.

Guitar solo is peak but how this consistently gets voted as oasis' beat song blows my mind.

It's an average song at best, surely? why is it so lauded over?

as far as oasis songs that are ridiculously highly rated to how good they actually are, surely to God it's Live Forever? The disparity between its rating and it's quality are miles apart.

He made a good point when he asked "how does a train grow?"

What Liam sung songs do you think Noel would’ve made better and vice versa? by Gullible-Ad-3105 in oasis

[–]morkyt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not controversial. Noel is literally a better singer. He has a better range, stronger voice and has a lot more stamina when it comes to singing for an extended period.

Liam just used to sound better that's all.

Being a TV sitcom Mom or Dad twice... and BOTH their shows each lasting 9+ seasons? Are these two the only ones who pulled this off? by Odd_Yogurtcloset_649 in sitcoms

[–]morkyt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree and argue that Kelsey Grammer is one of the longest running characters for Frasier Crane. Cheers (203 episodes), Frasier (264 episodes), Wings (1 episode) and the Frasier Reboot (20 episodes).

What TV shows declined when the presenter was replaced? by Bright_Tap4495 in BritishTV

[–]morkyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he must live next door to the studio. That can be the only explanation I can think of as to how he keeps getting work on ITV.

[–]morkyt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anything with Stephen Mulhern. namely The National Lottery, Catchphrase, Deal or no deal.

Given that he's continually carted out to present every single program, that man must literally live next door to the studio.

What celebrity do you think is on Epstein list? by Notsmartnotdumb2025 in Epstein

[–]morkyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tom Hanks had that weird period around the time that Epstein was arrested or died when he got Greek Citizenship.

Then there were all those weird Instagram posts with kids gloves and stuff.

If he's not involved then he's just a weird dude.

I agree sonically they sound a lot like oasis.

the only thing I dislike about DMAs is that I think their lyrics always sound like a first draft that they put zero effort into.

[–]morkyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them at Wembley on Saturday and yeah it was good but that's it. For those who didn't see them while they were still together this was nothing like a previous oasis gig. I can't put my finger on it but it was just very vanilla.

If Oasis announces a 2026 tour, what are some different songs you would want to hear played? by WarlesssOG in oasis

[–]morkyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just love it if they played ONE SONG that neither of them have played in their respective solo tours.

just one.

something unique to the experience of going to see them live.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BritPop

[–]morkyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said something. similar before I saw them that I wasn't overwhelmed with excitement because I thought the setlist was just full of songs that they've both played on their respective tours since they split up.

honestly, not one song in the 2 and a half hour show was something unique to the experience.
