Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993 and released their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe (1994). The following year they recorded (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) with drummer Alan White, in the midst of a chart rivalry with peers Blur. Spending ten weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was also an international chart success and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. In addition, it stands as the fifth-best-selling album in the UK and the biggest-selling album in the UK of the 1990s. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspapers for their disputes and wild lifestyles. In 1996, Oasis performed two nights at Knebworth for an audience of 125,000 each time, the largest outdoor concerts in UK history at the time. In 1997, Oasis released their third album, Be Here Now. It became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history.
Oasis' popularity later declined and McGuigan and Arthurs left in 1999 as Oasis released Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000). They were replaced by former Heavy Stereo guitarist Gem Archer and former Ride guitarist Andy Bell. White departed in 2004, replaced by Zak Starkey and later Chris Sharrock. Oasis released three more studio albums, Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don't Believe the Truth (2005) and Dig Out Your Soul (2008). The group abruptly disbanded after the departure of Noel Gallagher in August 2009.
As of 2009, Oasis had sold over 70 million records worldwide. They are among the most successful acts on the UK Singles Chart and Albums Chart, with eight UK number-one singles and eight UK number-one albums. The band also achieved three platinum albums in the US. They won 17 NME Awards, nine Q Awards, four MTV Europe Music Awards and six Brit Awards, including one in 2007 for Outstanding Contribution to Music and one for the "Best Album of the Last 30 Years" for (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. They were nominated for two Grammy Awards.

Chipper SOB
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a chipper son of a bitch
I'm a chipper son of a bitch
I'm a chipper son of a bitch
And I never get an itch
When I'm a chipper son of a bitch
I'm a chipper son of a bitch
The lyrics to Oasis's song "Chipper SOB" seem to revolve around the idea of someone who is very optimistic and doesn't let things get them down. The repeated phrase "I'm a chipper son of a bitch" sets the tone for the entire song. It's almost like the singer is bragging about their ability to stay positive in difficult situations. The line "And I never get an itch" suggests that this chipper attitude isn't just a passing phase, but rather a permanent part of their personality.
The use of the word "bitch" in the lyrics is interesting. It's a somewhat confrontational word that can be used as an insult, but in this context, it seems to be more of a playful way of emphasizing the singer's confidence. The word "chipper" itself is also interesting in that it's not a common word in everyday conversation. It suggests a sort of peppy, upbeat attitude that's maybe a little over the top.

No way I had this on a bootleg cd I bought in Manchester UK back in the 90s. The cd got thrown away by mistake and I was just thinking about it and I can't believe I've found it on here. Thank you for the upload.

HOLY SHIT. I'm the guy talking to him. I was just telling someone the story about this song and thought I'd try youtube, since I've lost most of my DAT tapes over the years. I always liked hanging out with Noel. He's one fun guy.
