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

May 18 "Wake Me Up When Hockey Begins" by Emily Hall a parody of "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day
(I submitted this earlier as just lyrics w/ a link to the video, I didn't know about the separate video submission form) I created this after the Sharks were eliminated by the Stars in the 2nd round for the 3rd year in a row. It describes the pain Sharks fans have known far too many times, and was amplified in this year's playoffs, where the "President's Trophy" winning Sharks were eliminated in the 1st round by the Anaheim Ducks. It's gonna be a long summer for Sharks fans. youtube: (youtube link) (Comments)

Story about this misheard lyric by: Stephanie

I was listening to the song, and my mom was sitting in the other room. So then she came into the room I was in and said "What are you listening to?!" And I said "Haha You're Dead by Green Day" And she's all "OH! I thought they were saying "I humped your friends. And sometimes it even sounded like they were saying 'I hopped your fence.' I'm guessing that it sounded that way because she couldn't hear the song properly from the other room!

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.
