Someone can correct me if I’m wrong because I wasn’t around back then but in the 90’s some bands would include a bonus track on vinyl albums to try to give people an extra incentive to purchase the vinyl version. In 1994 vinyl was dying and definitely wasn’t hip and cool like it is now. WTSMG has Bonehead’s Bank Holiday on its vinyl version as well. I'm sure I've read somewhere that they were struggling to fit the album on one vinyl record without compromising sound quality so they made the decision to make it a double album, and they then added Sad Song as a 12th track so every side had 3 tracks. It would be interesting to know exactly when the decision was made to use Sad Song on Defintely Maybe, I imagine it was destined to be a Defintely Maybe era b-side originally. I enjoy Sad Song, but I'm surprised that they didn't put something like one of the C&A singles, like Fade Away or Listen Up, as the additional track, since they would've fit with the other DM songs better than Sad Song.

My guess is Noel fancied having one song on there with him on vocals.

Looking Oasis melodic contours. Interesting stuff. Only done Definitely Maybe but I already can see some recurrent notes movements.

I like Sad Song, but it was right leaving it off of Definitely Maybe. DM is a semi-concept album of youth having a night out on the town and ‘avin’ it large. Sad Song is too melancholic for DM.

Sad Song wonderful song, but it just doesn't fit DM.

I could envisage Sad Song on Definitely Maybe, but I think Married With Children is the better fit overall. I still think Whatever should have closed the album out, though, I have an ethical objection to songs that good not being on an album.

DM isn't perfect.
There is some chopping and changing that would've made it even better.

In real time I didn't even know about Whatever in the fall of 1994. DM is all guitars to eleven. No strings. Might have sounded disjointed slightly. DM is perfect as is. I'd change nothing. Whatever ran into some serious legal troubles. That def would have taken out of DM consideration if it was even around. Don't think it was even recorded until way after DM was. Somebody else might know more in its history.

I don't know if Whatever would've worked on Definitely Maybe, it's the the perfect bridge between DM and MG. My favourite Oasis song along with Live Forever though.
On the Sad Song subject, I disagree. This song smells Definitely Maybe era. It could've ended the album, even though Married With Children was a clever choice. Sad Song is the superior song though. One of Noel's masterpieces.

I think Whatever would have worked okay on WTSMG, in place of the irritating and useless She’s Electric.

Ironically, many yanks know and like She’s Electric, which I find strange.

Gets decent-ish radio play in the UK as well still to this day.
I can take it or leave it tbh.
It's easily disposable off the album though.

Probably because it's one of the most Beatles-ish track they ever done, and The Beatles are very popular (ok, they are popular everywhere, but still very much in the States) there. The composition is superb.

She's Electric was the worst song they released until She Is Love
