"Wibbling Rivalry" is a single released under the name "Oas*s" by the Fierce Panda record label in 1995.[1] It is a recording of John Harris (working for NME at the time) interviewing brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis in early 1994, on the verge of their commercial breakthrough.[2] The musicians live up to their reputation as feuding siblings by getting sidetracked into a curse-laden argument over an incident that happened on a ferry which resulted in Liam being arrested.[3][4] The title is a portmanteau of the expression sibling rivalry and the word wibble.
The single contains a 'Liam Track' featuring predominantly Liam's use of profanities and a 'Noel Track' featuring Noel.[2] "Wibbling Rivalry" holds the record as the highest charting interview release in the UK, reaching number 52 on 25 November 1995.[5]
The single's cover features English underworld figures Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
