I've noticed that both Blur and Oasis use the term 'Morning Glory' in
their songs - Oasis in 'What's the Story (Morning Glory)?' and Blur in
'Country House.' What does it mean? I've heard that it's another way
of saying Morning Wood (term for having an erection when you wake up).
Does anyone know if I'm right?

Yes, it's that, but i also think it was an Oasis-slam on Blur's part.

Richard Serra.

p.s. Similar to when they say "he's a boy racer" in one of the tracks.
Morrissey, anyone?

In the same phrase of "Country House", what does "jackanorry" mean?
I think it means "everything's going well."

"He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going jackanorry..."

Also, what's a "quango?" (Mr. Robinson's Quango)

Jackanorry was an old childrens story program screened on british
television about ten years ago. That line I think is about Liam.I heard
that blur use morning glory to have a crack at oasis. But why not oasis
seem to have crack at blur often enough, lately noel has been telling
people not to buy blur records on sunday afternoon's network chart on
103FM

I used to know what a quango was. I think it's a type of business or
organisation etc.

I don't know if this applies, but Jackanory is a British childrens's
program in which small celelbs tell stories. I though that it meant
really strange or something. I'm probably wrong on the last part.
That morning glory bit was what i knew, about the morning erection.

Due to the release dates of Country House and when Oasis officially named their
album, this coincidence is nothing more than a coincidence.

Jackanory was a UK TV program for children. I think it is 'double'
rhyming slang: Jackanory -> Hunky Dory.

> To...@pop3.interramp.comJackanory is a British kids' TV programme where they read a book every
week. It's just play on words of hunky dory I suppose. A quango is a
government organisation for different funds. Like a quango for the arts
or something. However they are notorious for the MP involved to squander
all the money for his or herself.
When blur mentioned morning glory they were just taking the piss out of
oasis.
I think I've made that clear!

quasi autonomous non governmental organisation.

Morning Glory seeds contain a mild hallucinagen (Sp?) simliar in effect to
LSD. I don't know if this is the exact reference that Oasis and Blur
intended, but it is true. (Though don't try it at home, kiddies, as it
takes an excedingly large amount to have any effect and they have to be
ground up very fine or they will pass through your digestive system whole,
causing immense pain.)

My friend told me that 'Morning Glory' means waking up in the morning
with a hard-on, She could be talking complete bollocks though.

I'm not so certain of that since I recall hearing that the Oasis album
was going to be called "Morning Glory" last April. It was at least a
rumour.

I rather doubt it. Didn't Ruby come from the band the Morning Glories?

The truth to What Morning Glory means is actually something pretty
rude according to one magazine. It may just be a plie of bollocks
what the magazine said to put Oasis in the shit but if you want to
fing out what it means, find issue 32 of MMG magazine.

Thee Morning Glories are a Psych/ Garage band from NYC.

I believe that a "quango" is a strange and somewhat archaic british term
for semi-autonomous governmental agency, such as a public utilities
district or a water district. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do
with reggae.

Howzit,
Jackanory was a children's story program on BBC TV a good few years
ago.
When I was a kid in the south of England, if someone was telling a
boring story or obviously making it up, the put-down was:
" Yaaawwwnnn.... Jackanory"

Interpret as you will.

Oh Richie,
Why not just be a man about it and spit it out.
A morning glory is a jolly morning stiffy. An erection. An erect penis
upon awakening.

Couldn't be simpler.
