Oasis man Noel Gallagher has explained the thinking behind the title of his band's new album."Dig Out Your Soul" refers to a DJ delving into his vinyl collection to play some Motown, Gallagher told BBC 6 Music this morning, explaining Oasis considered a number of titles before making their final decision."Originally it was going to be called "Bag It Up" and then it was going to be called "The Shock Of The Lightning" and then it was going to be called "Standing On The Edge Of The Noise"."I couldn't think of any ideas and then somebody had taken bits of the lyrics out and "Dig Out Your Soul" was what came up. I was like, 'You know what? Titles become themselves'."Gallagher also admitted that the band don't have the best past form when it comes to album titles, pointing out that their 1994 debut "Definitely Maybe" didn't have "a great title, but if the album is good enough it'll become itself".""Dig Out Your Soul" is not the best one but "Dig Out Your Soul" was the best one on a day when we had to choose one," he concluded.
