The Song Wonderwall by Oasis was inspired by a George Harison song Wonderwall Music which was part of the soundtrack to a film.
Wonderwall is the title of a 1968 movie by then first-time director Joe Massot that starred Jack MacGowran, Jane Birkin, Richard Wattis, Irene Handl, and Iain Quarrier. The story of the film revolves around the reclusive, eccentric scientist Oscar Collins (MacGowran), whose next-door neighbours are a pop photographer (Quarrier) and his girlfriend/model (Birkin), named Penny Lane. Discovering a beam of light streaming through a hole in the wall between them, Collins follows the light and spots Penny modelling for a photo shoot. Intrigued, he begins to make more holes, as days go by and they do more photo sessions. Oscar gradually becomes infatuated with the girl, and feels a part of the couple's lives, even forsaking work to observe them. When they quarrel and the couple split, Penny takes an overdose of pills and passes out, but Oscar comes to her rescue. It was not a box office smash! |

"Wonderwall" is a song by British rock band Oasis, written by the band's guitarist and chief songwriter Noel Gallagher. Released as the third single from (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in October 1995, "Wonderwall" peaked at number two in the UK Singles Charts and proved to be their American breakthrough, reaching number eight on the Hot 100 and giving them their only top-ten hit in the US thus far. wonderwall is perhaps the most popular song considered till now.

Mel, if there was a "was this reply helpful"? thumbs up button (like in travel forum) I would have given you the "thumbs up"!
I had always wondered about that. |

Thank you for clearing that up. Though I have to point out that I already knew it was a song! ;P
