OASIS sold out, man.
http://www.betanews.com/article/ATT_to_Kick_Off_Huge_Marketing_Blitz/1135882877

In an attempt to reintroduce and breathe life back into the AT&T brand, the company will kick off a massive marketing campaign on News Year's Eve. SBC completed its acquisition of AT&T last month and adopted the name. The campaign is expected to cost up to $1 billion.

British rock band Oasis will provide a theme song for AT&T, and the company's logo will be plastered on billboards, airport signs and television commercials across the United States. In Times Square on New Year's Eve, AT&T will have ads covering the entire sides of buildings.


AT&T's famous slogan "Reach out and touch someone" will be replaced by "Your world, delivered." The new tagline is designed to emphasize the many facets of communication that AT&T handles, including voice over IP. Oasis' song is called "All Around the World."

When they called themselves the Beatles and it was the 60s.

3. That article is biased toward Beatlist propaganda.
The wording is tainted to make it sound like Oasis was commissioned to write a theme song for AT&T, as if they are artists for hire. This is not the case. "All Around The World" is on the 1997 album Be Here Now.

Any trick like this that the Beatlists try to pull eventually crumbles.

Score one for Oasis.

6. Remember
Oasis was more popular than the Beatles in the 90s.
