Sunday Morning Call is a song by british rock band Oasis (band)|Oasis taken from theor third album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and was released as the fourth single from that album on 3 July 2000, peaking at #4 in the UK charts. The song is written and sung by Noel Gallagher, who took over lead vocal from brother Liam Gallagher on an A-side for the first time since Don't Look Back in Anger in 1995.
Though the song has a certain anthemic nature which has popularised many Oasis songs, as well as departing from the psychadelic feel of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, which had been poorly recieved by critics. However, dispite this, it recieved a mixed critical reception. NME desribed it as "a dreary thing indeed", whereas All Music Guide described it as a "self-consciously mature departure from the group's usual ebullience... a deliberately mellow, mid-tempo [song]".
The music video is a take on the Jack Nicholson film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with characters resembling McMurphy and Nurse Ratchett. Unlike the film, the video begins with the McMurphy chatracter escaping his home and giving chase to the authorities, and ends in a football match. Whilst the inmates celebrate a victroy, Oasis are seen watching from the asylum window, and Noel Gallagher makes a "wanker" heand gesture at McMurphy.
As "Carry Us All" and "Full On" are also sung by Noel, this is the only Oasis single thus far not to feature Liam Gallagher.
