Does anyone know what the song Wonderwall by Oasis is an appropriate title for the song? What does it have to do with the lyrics/why did they choose that name?
The song takes its name from the 1968 album Wonderwall Music by George Harrison.

Oasis is for listening to, not thinking about.

Oasis is high on Champagne Supernova's while they play so I really don't care what they sing, they're just relaxing and enjoyable to listen to

I need it for a project, why did they choose that name? How does it relate to the song?

Yeah, they randomly will use lines from beatles songs and do covers of the beatles too like i am the walrus and starberry fields. oasis is just a fan of the beatles, not much to write a paper on

Wonderwall was a film that George Harrison wrote the score for. Noel and Liam love the Beatles and play homage to them in loads of their songs.
Listen to the same album for more similarities.
"She's electric" ending: Exactly the same (apart from a few minor harmonies) to the ending of "a little help from my friends", first bars of "Don't look back in anger" are exactly the same as "Imagine" as John Lennon. Also note whenever Liam sings the word "shine" he puts a drawn out, sneering accent on it, this is mimicking John Lennon on the song "Rain" by the Beatles.
There's loads if your willing to listen to the entire back catalogue of the Beatles.
Anything you need to know on Oasis PM me, I'll know it.
