"Sunday Morning Call" is a song by the English rock band Oasis, released as the third and final single from their fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. It reached number four in the United Kingdom, number five in Italy, and number 20 in Ireland.
The song was released as the third and final single from the album on 3 July 2000, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart, number five in Italy, and number 20 in Ireland. It was written by Noel Gallagher, who also sang lead vocals.
In January 2000, Gallagher told The Guardian that "Sunday Morning Call" was about "a particular person on a self-destruct mission" who was "too rock'n'roll for their own good". Reviewing Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, NME described "Sunday Morning Call" as "a dreary thing indeed".
"Sunday Morning Call" was included on the 2010 compilation album Time Flies... 1994âÂÂ2009 as a hidden track at the end of disc two. Before the official track listing was published, NME reported that the song appeared to have been omitted from the compilation. It was rumoured that this was because Noel "hates" the song, as he stated in the audio commentary of the accompanying DVD. Gallagher later confirmed in a Radio X feature that he disliked the song, saying "Because it's shit" and adding that he hated it enough to leave it off the credited track listing of the Oasis singles compilation, despite its inclusion as a hidden track.
"Full On" dates from 1997. It was played by the band during soundchecks in the Be Here Now Tour, for example at the G-Mex in Manchester on 14 December 1997.
The promotional video was directed by Nick Egan and, according to NME, was conceived as an homage to the Jack Nicholson film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with characters resembling McMurphy and Nurse Ratched. It was filmed in an old mental institution in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and features Scottish actor James Cunningham.
