Oasis axeman Noel Gallagher was a bit confused during a phone interview with a journalist in Santiago, Chile on Tuesday during the band's South American tour.

Here are transcripts from the conversation, along with Gallagher’s expressions of bewilderment, that he posted on Oasis' MySpace blog on Wednesday:

"Journalist: Ok. Last time you were seen in Santiago with a sex turkey, what happened?
NG: ?? 'Scuse me?
Jnlst: My pardon. What happened with a sex turkey?
NG: I'm sorry, but did you say 'a sex turkey'?
Jnlst: Yes. What happened with him?"

HIM?? Jesus! Now, I'll freely admit – if pushed – that I've got up to some dubious gear in the past but this guy can't really think I've had full homosexual sex with a man-turkey? Can he?

We continue....

"NG: Ok. We seem to have crossed wires here. Shall we just go back to the beginning and start again? Slowly? Yes?
Jnlst: As you wish.
NG: Ok. Fire at will.
Jnlst: Sorry?
NG: Never mind, just get on with it!
Jnlst: Ok. Can you explain what it was like in Santiago with a sex turkey and how it compares with Chris Sharrock?"

Now, I'm thinking, this is either a live radio comedy stunt thing or someone put acid in my tea.. unless...

"NG: When you say a sex turkey, do you mean ZAK STARKEY?
Jnlst: Of course."

SEX TURKEY!

"NG: Aah, Zak Starkey? You mean Zak Starkey?
Jnlst: Of course. What did you think I meant?
NG: Ha! Fuck, Zak Starkey! I thought you meant that I had..oh, never mind. I think we have to wrap this up.
Jnlst: But you never answer my question!!
NG: They’re both the same. I need to lie down. Goodbye."

Gallagher wrote in another blog entry that he's "been doing a bit of writing for the 1st time in ages," although it's unknown if the songs are for Oasis or his proposed solo album.
