Welsh rap outfit Goldie Lookin' Chain have thrown their hat into the Christmas song ring with a brilliant take on the John Lewis advert - Man on the Moon.
Whereas Norwegian singer Aurora Asknes covers Oasis' Half the World Away, GLC have put their own clever lyrics on the backing track of Noel Gallagher's most touching songs.
The boys ask us to stop buying presents that can't even be sold on and also take a pop at Christmas jumpers.
The video also features past John Lewis adverts as well as classic Christmas TV moments like EastEnders' Arthur Fowler's breakdown.
"But the John Lewis one came out on Friday morning and we decided to have a look at what we could do with it," he continued. "With Christmas there's so much to write about anyway.
"As soon as the temporary Halloween shop in town disappears they slam a Christmas one in there, then on Boxing Day, they slam an Easter one there.
"By December 12, no one is interested in Christmas any more, it hasn't snowed, it's raining."
Rhys adds: "The junk my mother buys me, I don't even need biscuit tins.
"I don't eat many biscuits - and if I do, I keep them in the packet.
"When me and my sister were kids, my parents bought us a ping-pong table, we couldn't fit it in the house, it had to go in the garage and the car had to go on the street.
"I didn't even play ping-pong.
"The bottom line with the John Lewis advert is that they are a big shop who sell lots of stuff and they want people to buy it."
GLC's Eggsy aka John Rutledge says that all you need at Christmas is a coal fire and good friends.
"The best things in life are the simple things," he adds. "If John Lewis wants to raise awareness for Age UK maybe they should chuck a few million to them.
"I don't like the manipulation of it - you just know there was a marketing man in London, in skinny jeans, probably called Julian, trying to think of a cause to link to the ad."
The two GLC members are not totally opposed to Christmas, with Eggsy arranging a Christmas Eve walk every year and Rhys loves to torment his family with Christmas songs.
Eggsy adds: "I and a few other blokes go for a walk in the middle of now-were - I call it Uncle Daddy's Christmas Walk.
"It's lovely, there's no drinking until you black out, just being around good people."
And it's not all Scrooge-like behaviour around Rhys' house at Christmas, he says: "I do love Christmas really, I cook a big dinner for everyone, I've got Christmas songs on in each room."
"My parents go around the house turning them off, but I'm right behind them putting them back on," he addded. "And we have a Christmas quiz too."
He does also like the original advert though: "That Aurora has such a sweet voice, but in the end for our version we used the original Oasis' track because it had more oomph.
"Noel's pretty cool with us so I hope he doesn't mind. And 'Mr Lewis', I'm sure he'll be cool with it too.
"There are lots of parodies around. We'll see. I'm hoping this will boost our chances of doing the Eurovision Song Contest next year."

This is the story of a young girl called Lily. Looking at the moon through her family telescope one night, she is amazed at what she finds, a man on the moon.

Singer Ellie Goulding suspects Noel Gallagher's recent insult against her is some type of publicity stunt.
The 48-year-old Oasis rocker slammed a slew of modern day musicians recently, telling Esquire UK: "Does anybody give a f**k about what any of these current pop stars are up to? Who gives a s**t what f**king One Direction do? C**ksuckers, all of them in rehab by the time they're 30. Who gives a s**t what Ellie Goulding is up to? Really? Adele, what? Blows my f**king mind. Nobody cares! Fame's wasted on them."
But Ellie had a personal interaction with Noel that seems to discount pretty much everything he said about her.
"Noel came up to me at the Brit Awards two years ago and said, 'I love your music - but don't f**king tell anyone'," she recalled to The Sun.

Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Noel Gallagher says the last six months of Oasis were "awful" and he and Liam even had a "massive fistfight" before their final world tour had started.
The 'Don't Look Back In Anger' hitmaker quit the band in August 2009 after a backstage bust-up with his younger brother at a festival in Paris which ended with Liam swinging a guitar at Noel's head like an "axe".
Now, Noel has opened up on just how strained the siblings' relationship was and has revealed they had come to blows before they even started touring final album 'Dig Out Your Soul' - an incident which proved to be a key moment in the breakdown of their bond.
In an interview with the new issue of Esquire magazine, he said: "The last six months were f***ing awful, it was excruciating. Me and Liam had a massive, massive, massive fistfight three weeks before the world tour started, and fights like that in the past would always be easy to rectify but for some reason I wasn't going to let it go this time. I was just like, 'F**k this ****.' And there was an atmosphere all the way around the world."
Noel admits things were so strained between him and the frontman as they travelled the globe he made the decision to fly separately from the rest of his bandmates.
During the final run of shows, the 48-year-old guitarist felt Oasis had lost sight of what they were, had nothing left to achieve and he was particularly dismayed at Liam's desire to use their stadium shows as opportunities to plug his clothing line Pretty Green.
He said: "By that stage I was flying separately to the rest of the band, which I have to tell you was f***ing great. And Liam was sacking tour managers because he didn't like their shoes. Then he starts his own clothing label and starts dedicating songs to it on stage and I'm like, 'Really, is this what it's come to?' He's modeling parkas on stage which you could buy on his website. And it's just like, 'This is not for me.' All that being said, we had two gigs left and I reckon if I'd had got to the end of that tour and I'd had six months off I would have just forgotten about it, got on with it. But the straw that broke the camel's back was the night in Paris and that was a fight. There's no hidden darkness. It was just a fight about f***ing nonsense, just him being p***ed. He'd cancelled the gig at the V Festival and we were getting loads of s**t for it ... Liam's convinced I'm some kind of puppet-master, and he blames it all on me. And then it just escalated. It blew up. And that was it. I sat in the car and thought, "You know what, I've done enough now. F**k it, I'm going to leave ... If I'd thought there was anything left to achieve I wouldn't have left Oasis ... You name it, we did it all."

It’s tradition for the annual John Lewis Christmas advert to bring a smile to the Nation’s face every year, but in 2015 Noel Gallagher will be smiling bigger than anybody else as the ad is apparently going to earn him thousands.
That’s a pretty nifty Christmas bonus, isn’t it?
The traditionally tear-jerking advert isn’t set to debut until tomorrow morning, but it has already been confirmed that it features Oasis track ‘Half The World Away’, which was written by Noel.
The song has been covered by unknown Norwegian singer, Aurora, but The Sun report that Noel will still rake in thousands of pounds in royalties for the store using the song - which you might recognise as the theme tune for The Royle Family.
Stars such as Lily Allen and Tom Odell have previously recorded songs for the advert, and a source told The Sun that John Lewis opted to use Aurora instead of an established artist because her voice is so “quirky”.
They explained: “There have been lots of options and the process has been kept top secret. Even though Aurora is a complete unknown, they felt her quirky voice is perfect for the song.
“There were initially some discussions about the song being a cover of Steve Winwood’s Higher Love, but the Oasis track won out.”
So far we have only seen an Adele-esque teaser of the ad during Sunday night’s X Factor, which simply displayed the hashtag #OnTheMoon in John Lewis’ famous font.
Needless to say, we can’t wait for the final product to truly kick off the festive season tomorrow morning.

Noel and Liam Gallagher have had their fair share of problems in the past. Well just one problem really – they hate each other.
But things are looking up. According to The Guardian, the brothers have both agreed to take part in an upcoming Oasis documentary, “sharing their favourite memories and offering their insight in interviews."
So maybe they’re ready to kiss and make-up? They’re bound to bump into each other at the wrap party, right?
James Gay-Rees of production company On The Corner and director Asif Kapadia are the guys behind the recent Amy Winehouse film, and will be creating the Oasis documentary, which will chart the Britpop band right from their early days.
Asif will act as executive-director on the film with Mat Whitecross to direct. Mat has directed a number of Coldplay videos and 2012's Spike Island.
They are said to have been given "unprecedented" access to the band and unseen archive footage.
Screen Daily reports that Independent Film Sales will launch the film at industry event, AFM, which takes place between 4 – 11 November.
Andrew Orr, managing director at Independent, commented, "Oasis are without doubt one of the classic British rock bands, selling 70million albums worldwide and defining the sound of a whole era.
“At its heart are Liam and Noel Gallagher, two of the finest rock ‘n’ roll stars this country has ever produced. Mat’s sensibility and style are going to provide the perfect complement to this tale of the rise of one of the great rock ’n’ roll bands."

"I've got a cat that's more rock'n'roll than all of them put together. Pigeons? Rips their f**king heads off."
Oh dear. Self-proclaimed last of the great rock and rollers Noel Gallagher has torn into One Direction, Adele, Arctic Monkeys and, well pretty much everyone.
The former Oasis star gave a typically outspoken interview to Esquire, where he called modern popstars (except Kanye West) "c**ts" who don't deserve fame.
"Fame's wasted on these c**ts today. Bar Kanye. You watch him on the MTV Awards and you think, 'You can f**king stay, you're alright,'" he said.
"Does anybody give a f**k about what any of these current pop stars are up to? Who gives a shit what f**king One Direction do? Cocksuckers, all of them in rehab by the time they're 30.
"Who gives a shit what Ellie Goulding is up to? Really? Adele, what? Blows my f**king mind. It blows my f**king mind. Nobody cares! "
It wasn't just the popstars who found themselves in Noel's bad books though, as the guitarist also bemoaned rockstars, or rather the "spotty f**king herberts with guitars".
So if the likes of Royal Blood and Arctic Monkeys aren't cutting it (neither of whom we recall wearing eyeliner by the by) who would Noel like to see come to the forefront?
"F**king utter gobshites just being f**king headcases ." We're saying nothing.

A documentary all about the rise of Oasis is coming - and it's in the works from the team behind this year's Amy Winehouse movie Amy.
The film will journey from the moment Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band in 1991, to releasing their debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994.
According to Deadline, Amy director Asif Kapadia will executive-produce alongside James Gay Rees. Mat Whitecross is directing.
The as-yet-untitled documentary will feature never-before-seen archive footage and insight from both Noel and Liam.
Director Whitecross previously worked on Spike Island, about a group of Stone Roses fans trying to get tickets to see the band's Spike Island concert in 1990.
Meanwhile, Noel recently ruled out Oasis headlining Glastonbury (again), simply because the festival "don't pay enough" to justify a reunion.

Retailers John Lewis have declined to comment on reports that their Christmas 2015 advertising campaign will be soundtracked by an Oasis song.
Interest in the John Lewis adverts has increasingly grown in recent years with contemporary artists covering older material in a stripped-back fashion. Last year saw Tom Odell doing 'Real Love' by John Lennon while Lily Allen's cover of Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know' was a hit in 2013.
Marketing Magazine reports that Oasis song 'Half The World Away', better known as the theme tune to BBC comedy The Royle Family is "in the running" for this year's advert. The advertising campaign traditionally kicks off in early November, meaning any song choices would likely have been made by this point in October.
However, a spokesperson for John Lewis said that "a number [of tracks are] still under consideration", adding: "Speculation about every element of our Christmas advert happens every year. However, we can confirm that at this point in time, neither the track nor the artist have been confirmed."
The John Lewis advert trend took off in 2010 when Ellie Goulding's cover of 'Your Song' by Elton John hit Number One. However, the first John Lewis advert song came the year before with a folk cover of Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child Of Mine'.

Oasis' 'Half The World Away' To Feature In John Lewis 2015 Christmas Advert?
Retailers John Lewis have declined to comment on reports that their Christmas 2015 advertising campaign will be soundtracked by an Oasis song.
Interest in the John Lewis adverts has increasingly grown in recent years with contemporary artists covering older material in a stripped-back fashion. Last year saw Tom Odell doing 'Real Love' by John Lennon while Lily Allen's cover of Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know' was a hit in 2013.

Wonderwall is a song by English 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? on October 30th 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 their most popular song, despite the fact that British TV stars Robson & Jerome's "I Believe"/"Up on the Roof" kept it out of the top slot. Wonderwall continues to have enduring popularity in Oasis's canon; as of 2008, it was 76th in the UK's list of best-selling singles, and has now sold over a million copies in single and download sales in the UK, where it went platinum.
The song is included on Oasis's compilation album Stop the Clocks.
Background
The song takes its name from the 1968 album Wonderwall Music by George Harrison, at the time still a member of the Beatles.[3] Harrison's album was in fact a soundtrack to the film Wonderwall, but the film has remained unknown by the general public. The original title of the track was "Wishing Stone".
It is often claimed that "Wonderwall" was written for Gallagher's then-girlfriend, Meg Mathews. Noel married Mathews in 1997, but the couple divorced four years later. Gallagher now claims that the song was not about Mathews at all, but he felt he had to go along with the rumour, saying "The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it. How do you tell your Mrs it's not about her once she's read it is? It's a song about an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself."
Recording
The song was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, during a two-week recording of the 'Morning Glory' album in May 1995. According to producer Owen Morris, the song was completed in 6-8 hours.
Morris claimed that Gallagher had presented an alternative arrangement of the song "which had some extra complicated pre-bridge bits that didn't have singing or melody - but just had some chord changes - which seemed completely unnecessary", the night before it was recorded. This idea was quickly shelved.
Noel initially wanted to sing this song on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, but he gave his brother Liam Gallagher the choice, and Noel ended up singing "Don't Look Back in Anger".
Live performances
Noel debuted the song on UK TV, backstage at Glastonbury and broadcast on Channel 4 on June 24, 1995. The song wasn't performed by the band during their headline performance the night before.
In August 2002, Noel changed the arrangement of his live performances of the song to a style admittedly heavily-influenced by Ryan Adams' cover version of the song. This arrangement has continued to his most recent live performances of the song. When the full band performs the song live, with electric guitars, it's still in the original style as presented on the record. During the 2008 tour, however the band have return to performing the song in a semi acoustic form.
A live version of the song, recorded at Wembley Stadium in 2000, is featured on the band's live album Familiar To Millions.
In an interview with Q magazine in August 2008, Liam said that he hates performing the song: "I can't stand that fucking song, every time I have to sing it, I want to gag. Problem is 'Wonderwall' was a big big tune for us and so you go to America and they're like, 'Are you Mr Wonderwall?', and you want to chin someone."
Video
The music video to the song was filmed in the relatively brief period when bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan quit the band due to nervous exhaustion; Scott McLeod came in to replace him.
Cover art
The sleeve artwork was inspired by the paintings of the Belgian surrealist René Magritte, and was shot on Primrose Hill in north London. The hand holding the frame is that of art director Brian Cannon; the woman is Anita Heryet, a Creation Records employee. The original idea was to have Liam in the frame before Noel vetoed that idea whilst the shoot was taking place.
Chart history
It reached No.2 in the UK charts.
In the US it also peaked at #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart for an unprecedented ten weeks (this amount was later eclipsed in 1998 by Marcy Playground), and reached #8 on the Hot 100.
Awards and accolades
In 1995, "Wonderwall" came in at number one in the national Australian music poll, the Triple J Hottest 100.
The promo video for "Wonderwall", directed by Nigel Dick, won the Best British Video award at the 1996 BRIT Awards.
In the Grammy Awards of 1997 the band received a nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group and Noel Gallagher picked another nomination for Best Rock Song, winning none.
In 2003, VH1 ranked the song at number 95 in its countdown of the "100 Greatest Songs Of The Past 25 Years."
In May 2005, "Wonderwall" was voted the best British song of all time, in a poll of over 8,500 listeners conducted by Virgin Radio.
The song "Wonderwall" placed 105 of the 3000 top songs of all time on the website acclaimedmusic.net.
In August 2006, "Wonderwall" was named the second-greatest song of all time in a poll conducted by Q Magazine, finishing behind another Oasis song, "Live Forever".
In 2006, U2's guitarist The Edge named "Wonderwall" one of the songs he most wishes he'd written.
In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Wonderwall" at number 27 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever.
In December 2007, it came in number 35 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's countdown.
In early 2007, "Wonderwall"'s drumming, provided by Alan White, was voted 90th best drumming track ever in Modern Drummer magazine.

Oasis
Noel Gallagher says Oasis won't reunite for Glastonbury because festival organisers Michael and Emily Eavis can't afford the phenomenal sum it would take for him to rejoin brother Liam on stage.
Noel Gallagher says he won't reform Oasis to headline Glastonbury because the festival doesn't "pay enough".
The rock icon says there's no chance he will reform his defunct band to play at the world famous music festival again because organisers Michael and Emily Eavis can't afford the huge sum it would take for him to reunite with his estranged brother Liam Gallagher.
Speaking at the premiere of Bradley Cooper's new film 'Burnt' in London on Wednesday night (28.10.15), he said: "I don't know where the rumours keep coming from about Glastonbury. Would we ever do it? They don't have enough money I'm afraid. That's the bottom line, they just don't pay enough. I've done it a few times, I know what they pay and it's not enough."
Oasis have played Glastonbury on three occasions, stealing the show on their debut appearance in 1994 before going on to headline the next year in 1995 and then again in 2004.
Liam has since opened the festival as a surprise act with his last group Beady Eye in 2013.
Although he doesn't want to reunite Oasis for Glastonbury, Noel is keen to perform at the festival in Somerset, South West England, again as a solo act with his band The High Flying Birds.
The 'Lock All The Doors' singer previously said: "If I was asked, yeah. I'll headline the spoken word tent, anything. If you're listening Michael Eavis, I'll do it."

Noel Gallagher has described teaming up with U2 at their London gig earlier this week as a "dream come true".
The former Oasis guitarist joined the band onstage during the band's O2 Arena show on October 26, performing their hit 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' before segueing into a cover of The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love'.
Gallagher joined the Irish four-piece at the end of their two-hour-plus show on acoustic guitar and backing vocals, footage of which you can watch below.
"I'd like to bring out of one my heroes, one of the band's heroes to help us out with this next song. Will you welcome to the stage the high flying bird himself Noel Gallagher," Bono announced to the crowd before Gallagher took to the stage.
Now speaking to Audioboom, Gallagher said: "It was a dream come true to be asked to get up [on stage] with them and then it was a dream come true to be asked to sing that song ['I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For']."
"They're friends of mine. I've been friends with Bono for about 20 years. It was a great moment. I was stood in the wings and they were introducing me and I was thinking 'This is actually going to happen now, this is amazing'. They are one of my favourite ever, ever bands and that's one of the best songs ever written. It was a blast, a real honour."
Gallagher added: "I thought my catering was pretty good until I was at U2 the other night, which was honestly something else."

The Stone Roses
Noel Gallagher has suggested that there could soon be renewed activity from The Stone Roses.
The Manchester band reformed in 2011 after originally breaking up in 1996. They played a series of gigs around the world in 2012 and 2013, but have remained seemingly inactive for the past two years.
There have been rumours the band are working on what would be their third album, the follow-up to 1994's 'Second Coming'.
Appearing on Soccer AM on Saturday (October 24), the former Oasis guitarist was asked if he had "any idea what's going on with the Roses", to which he replied coyly: "Yes. I know exactly what's going on... They're blooming."
During the interview, Gallagher also stated that his next album (or "magic trick", as Gallagher referred to it) won't be finished until after his tour ends in April 2016.
He also said and "life is too short" to have a Twitter account.

Noel Gallagher has explained that he's come to accept music's great shift to online but that he still can't stand making music videos.
Gallagher, most famous for Oasis but now hugely successful as a solo artist, was typically forthright on Soccer AM about how the internet was taking some of the fun out of music.
"Yeah of course [it's taken the mystery out of music]," he said. "When Oasis started if you had heard about Oasis and you wanted to see them you had to go and see them.
"Now it's easy to tap into a computer, get on YouTube and have an opinion on a band in 30 seconds - whereas back in the day when we were all young-uns you had to go and be there didn't you?
Tweet-decked
"I'm not on Twitter, life's too short for that, but you've got accept [the internet's] the way you connect with young people - whoever they are.
"I like the internet - it's not what it's all cracked up to be, but it's alright."
Music videos are also considered a necessary evil by Gallagher - who admitted: "I can't stand them."
"In those videos you showed I look furious in all of them. They take all day and the directors are usually quite pretentious."

For just a £40,000 advance, the Gallagher's and co inked a deal for six albums with Alan McGee and his rag-tag band of visionaries. They would go on to headline festivals, fill stadiums, shift millions of albums, provide the soundtrack of a generation and define an entire era of music. But there's much more to their legacy than the music.
To mark 20 years since Oasis first signed, here are 10 things that probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for Oasis - from haircuts and to headlines, Coldplay to The Killers and the childhoods of Alex Turner and Pete Doherty...

Katy Perry
Noel Gallagher
Russell Brand
Noel Gallagher makes some typically acerbic asides as part of his contribution to the forthcoming documentary about his friend, Russell Brand, but now the Flying Birds frontman is complaining that he's been cut from the film.
Noel, who has contributed to 'Russell Brand: Second Coming' following Russell's transformation from Hollywood aspiring film star to London-based activist and author, told Metro earlier this week, "I'm assuming my bit is the best thing in it, which is why they cut it. I won't be going to see it."
However, the High Flying Birds frontman has got it wrong, with his bon mots on his friend's brief marriage to pop star Katy Perry remaining, as he says, remaining very much part of the film. And, as our clip reveals, some of his best lines have not been forgotten...
Noel, who used to appear regularly on Russell's radio show when he was still employed by the BBC, tells a story from when the comedian was freshly married to Katy, and phoned him, asking for advice on what to do if he and his new bride wanted to watch different channels on television.
The film's director Ondi Timoner followed Russell for the best part of two years, as he gave up his Hollywood life in search of something more meaningful, a journey that brought him back to London, to the corridors of Westminster, the streets of East London and into confrontation on 'Newsnight' as he shared his own history with drugs to campaign for decriminalisation, and then spoke about the need for revolution of the political process.
