In late 2006, Gallagher accused Green Day of 'ripping off' "Wonderwall", saying "If you listen, you'll find it is exactly the same arrangement as "Wonderwall". They should have the decency to wait until I am dead [before stealing my songs]. I, at least, pay the people I steal from that courtesy".<ref>[http://www.breakingnews.ie/showbiz/gallagher-attacks-green-day-for-ripping-off-wonderwall-289328.html Gallagher attacks Green Day for 'ripping off' 'Wonderwall'], [[Ireland Online]], 14 December 2006.</ref> [[Neil Cicierega]]'s mashup albums ''[[Mouth Silence]]'' and ''[[Mouth Moods]]'' feature tracks that are mashups of "Wonderwall" titled "Wndrwll" and "Wallspin", the former a humorous remix featuring "[[Full House#Theme song|Everywhere You Look]]" and the latter a mashup with "[[You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)]]".<ref>{{cite news|author=Ryan Manning|date=26 July 2014|url=https://www.theverge.com/2014/7/26/5938279/mouth-silence-is-the-sound-of-your-brain-roasting|title=Mouth Silence is the sound of your brain roasting|newspaper=[[The Verge]]|access-date=24 January 2017}}</ref><ref name="VOX">{{cite web |first=Aja |last=Romano |url=https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/3/7/14371422/neil-cicierega-mouth-moods-90s-mashups |title=This '90s kid turned his love of a decade into the internet's best mashup albums |date=7 March 2017 |work=[[Vox (website)|VOX]] |access-date=4 April 2019}}</ref>
