Liam Gallagher, the ornery former vocalist from Oasis, isn’t a huge Daft Punk fan. Nor is he a fan or the band’s No. 1 single "Get Lucky," the first from the band’s latest album Random Access Memories.

Speaking to Sony’s MU streaming service, Gallagher, who now fronts the band Beady Eye, said he could write "Get Lucky" in no time.

"I’d write that in a f--king hour," Gallagher said. "I don’t know what the fuss is about, you know what I mean? It’s like f--k off, give me a f--king break."

Nor is Gallagher a fan of the French electronic group’s decision to perform while wearing the trademark robot helmets, which obscure the band members faces. "Take your f--ing helmet off," he instructed. "Let’s see what you look like sans helmet, whatever you’re called.”
