Band Name Origins:
- The band got really stoned and watched an episode of 'Sesame Street', where Ernie said 'It's going to be a Green Day.' Before that, the band was called 'Sweet Children'. Submitted by: KingBee
- In numerous interviews, including Alternative and Kerrang, Green Day has cited the meaning of their name. While Billy Joe and Mike were still in High School, they refered to days when they would sit around and smoke pot as a 'Green Day.' They honored these days like the sabbath - refusing to do work or move from the couch for fear of interupting the trails of potato chip crumbs on their Sex Pistols TShirts. The song titled Green Day off the "39/Smooth" release was written to reflect Billy Joe's first experience with marijuana. Submitted by: Jake
Why the Name is Stupid:
- perhaps they meant to call themselves Gray Day (but didn't want to be sued by Madness) Submitted by: Mark
- What does a green day look like? Submitted by: Blueriver

Insulting Lyrics:
"Holliday"
The Insulting Lyrics: Bomb's away
is your punishment Pulverize the Effiel Towers who critize your government. Why They're Insulting: I'm not sure which of these lines is more insulting. The "bomb's away is your punishment" line, which says join the U.S. or die or "Pulverize the Effiel Towers who critize your government" which I think is a pock shot at France for not supporting the war in Iraq.
It's a draw as far as insulting things go. Submitted by: Celeste

The Insulting Lyrics: Ha ha you're dead And I'm so happy
