Noel Gallagher tells a story about how Don't Look Back In Anger is allegedly based on Sally Cinnamon by the Stone Roses.
" I wrote this song in Paris, and It didn't have the Sally bit in it. I was doing a sound check, at our first arena gig in Sheffield. Liam came up and said 'do Sally'. I said I don't know what the **** you're talking about. 'Isn't that what you're singing? So Sally can wait?' And I was like, 'no it isn't, but it ****ing is now, nice one.' So someone came up to me at an Ian Brown gig a few years back, and asked me, 'Sally, the girl in question, is she actually Sally Cinnamon, from the Stone Roses song?' Which I thought was ****ing brilliant. She'd obviously sat down and worked this one out, and I didn't want to spoil it for her. So I said, 'yes, it is Sally Cinnamon. Well done'. It's not really. ****ing bag of shite that, waste of an afternoon."
