For their 2006 best-of album, 'Stop The Clocks', Oasis created a promotional video for their track 'The Masterplan', one of their most revered songs which originally as a b-side to their 1995 single 'Wonderwall'.

The band exit quickly claiming Scott is the most uncool kid they have ever met.

The Jackson 5 starred in a Saturday morning cartoon, imaginatively titled The Jackson 5ive, from 1971 to 1973.
