Oasis Start A Royal Scandal With "Falling Down" Video

February 4, 2009 3:37 PM ET

Oasis are back with a new video, this time for "Falling Down," the latest single of the band's Dig Out Your Soul. Directed by Wiz, the video's plot seems pretty clear, as we follow a bright-eyed, luxurious young woman from random people's beds to random drug dens. Later on, we see the woman putting on a crown, meaning that she's regal or something, and at a red carpet event Oasis' Gallagher brothers both snub the woman, hinting that one or both of them got it on with a member of the Royal Family. How do we know she's a member of the British monarchy? The final shot is a Gump-esque composite featuring the woman and Prince Charles side-by-side. So while Oasis' spokesperson says the plot is of Wiz's own creation, the real question is "Which real-life Princess had relations with one or both of the Gallagher boys?" Watch the video above.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
