2. That's my favorite Stone Roses song. As for the TOTP lip-synching - most artists hated the show

requiring that, and some - including Oasis - sabotaged it, at least at times.

A couple of articles about that:

From the second article:

#3: Is as... O
Oasis - "Roll With It"

We often, regrettably, forget that Oasis wasn’t always composed of just Noel and Liam Gallagher. During their heyday, they had Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan on bass, and "Bonehead" (AKA Paul Arthurs) on guitar. The latter caused a bit of a “ToTP” sabotage of his own when swapping with the cellist the year before during a performance of “Whatever.” But in 1995, Oasis continued to mess about with the show’s producers. For “Roll With It” there was a last minute swap of the Gallagher brothers, ostensibly to see if anyone would notice they were lip-syncing. It looked like producers were wise to the act this time, though; as it was quickly spotted, and a message appeared on screen to let viewers know they hadn’t been had.
