The chant has an interesting history, though not everyone is happy when it breaks out during most sporting and cultural events
Oasis returned to Ireland to perform for the first time in 17 years in front of a rapturous atmosphere in front of more than 80,000 fans at Croke Park on Saturday .
At one stage, during Noel's solo section of the gig, where he performed Little by Little, Half the World Away and Talk Tonight, the eldest of the band's siblings took a moment to soak in the crowd as they chanted 'Olé Olé Olé' in unison. Not everyone was so complimentary of the 80,000 crowd's antics, however, with one viewer adding the Olé chant was "the cringiest part of every concert in Ireland," though another added: "Why do people suddenly pretend to hate this. It’s f****** class when you’re there."
The chant's tune comes from the 1985 Belgian song called Anderlecht Champion, which featured the French 'allez, allez, allez' lyrics instead of the Spanish 'Olé', which was formed the following year for the Mexican World Cup.
