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.

Fuckin' In The Bushes
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We worked for one year for you pigs
And you want to break our walls down?
And you want to destroy us?
Well you go to hell
Kids are running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes
Kids are running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes
Kids are running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes
I love it
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Kids are running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes
Kids are running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes
Kids are running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes
Kids are running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes
I love it! Room for everybody here
Yes, all are welcome
Yes indeed, I love them
Fun! Nice! Life! Youths! Beautiful!
I'm all for it
I love it! Room for everybody here
Yes, all are welcome
Yes indeed, I love them
Fun! Nice! Life! Youths! Beautiful!
I'm all for it
The first several lines of "Fuckin' in the Bushes" by Oasis was seen as a defiant response to repeated attacks the band had received from critics and rivals alike. It was a track from the album "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants," and it begins with a spoken-word interlude that featured a man (possibly Noel Gallagher himself) yelling at the crowd. He denounces their detractors and taunts them: "We put this festival on, you bastards, with a lot of love!" he yells, before declaring the group's strength and independence by saying, "You're all invited to come to our place on Friday, chill out, watch TV." He then declares, "I'm all for it!" offering a challenge for others to try to bring him down.
The lyrics then shift to a repeating refrain focusing on kids who are "running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes." This phrase can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to imply the band's acceptance of people being themselves and doing what makes them happy. The imagery of kids running around naked indicates a certain level of adventure and freedom, something that Oasis wants to promote. The phrase "fuckin' in the bushes" may indicate simple physical pleasure, but it can also be read in a more metaphorical sense as a rebellion against the established social order.
