Australia's The New Seekers were hugely popular in the UK when Noel was a young boy. I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing was used on TV ads for Coca-Cola and sold almost one million copies in the UK alone. Shakermaker's initial vocal melody is essentially the same. So much so that The New Seekers sued - with Oasis reportedly having to pay $500,000 as settlement.
