Commentary
In this action-packed and creepy installment, BASTICH flips out trying to parse the lyrics to Oasis' 1996 hit Champagne Supernova. I liked this song but I thought the lyrics were nonsensical.
I went through something like this when I was first introduced to Pink Floyd's The Wall and I apologize profusely to anyone I inconvenienced while getting it out of my system.
