Ok I know some folks tend to equal She's Electric with Married With Children because both songs share pretty much the same chords in the verse.
But in my head both songs in the poll are directly comparable because both play the same role in their respective albums: the funny-paced poppy throwaway.
Which one do you pick?

Digsy's Dinner.
I love the youthful punk vibes that come from a combination of Liam's snarling vocals and the brash guitars. Not to mention the little piano solo that you'd never expect to fit in with the rest of the song, but does quite well.

I love both tunes, but I will go with SE.
Ahh those Liam's falsettos.

I love both but voted for Digsy's as it's falling behind at the moment.

I think She's Electric is a better song, but I like Digsy's more

This is actually one of the best all time Oasis debates in my opinion. Which lighthearted album track from Oasis zenith era is better? She's Electric or Digsy's Dinner? Both are jammed in the middle of album side 2 on their respective records, right before the emotional heights of Slide Away, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova> I'm not even from England but Digsy's is just a fuckin lad's tune. Its a cartoony, pub song that has that one great lyric "But I don't think we've been living very wise". I love the swing to it and the piano break. Liam gives a fantastic tongue in cheek delivery. She's Electric is a similarly cartoonish to me, maybe even more so because it sounds like a beatles in places. The lyrics are charming to say the least. The song just folds nicely from those opening guitar chimes, to the tambourine throughout the prechorus and chorus. Liam's vocal on this is one of my personal favorites probably a top 20 vocal from Liam. Noel's melodic background vocals and calls is sublime. I think defmaybe00 is on to something. I'd agree that She's Electric is probably the better song, but Digsy's Dinner is hits the spot when you are in the right mood. I can't really make up my mind on this debate. Pretty tough. As a musician I'd rather play Digsy's but I'd rather listen to She's Electric, if that makes any sense.

I like them both, but I like She's Electric a tiny bit better.

Digsy's Dinner every day of the week,
A great song with a youthful, innocent and charming vibe with one of Noel's best lyrics 'these could be the best days....'
She's Electric is utter nonsense 'Dozen, Cousin, Oven, fuck off'. First time I ever cringed at an Oasis song (certainly wasn't the last)

Digsy's Dinner.
But I'd take Bonehead's Bank Holiday over either of them.

Digsy's Dinner, easily.
Not to say I dislike She's Electric, it just begins to annoy me after a while.

I like both songs, they're fun... Although, I prefer the song I wrote for Beady’s Here Now, which is inspired by 'She's Electric', entitled 'He's Electric'. God bless.

She's Electric is a bit annoying isn't it?
At least DD has the "This will be the best days of our liiiiiiives" bits.

She's Electric is the better song, but I vote for Digsy's Dinner because it's live mega. I don't like the version of Noel singing She's Electric

She's Electric is utter nonsense 'Dozen, Cousin, Oven, fuck off'. First time I ever cringed at an Oasis song (certainly wasn't the last) First time I don't agree with you, master! She's electric is an amazing song and it is necesary in the MG context

Our Noel isn't known for his originality

She's Electric. Although I like them both I feel Digsys Dinner is more of a throwaway, whereas SE feels more of a complete song.
