I was never much of a fan of this band, but there are many other recording artists who epitomized " the American music industry 'formula'" more than these guys - The Eagles spring to mind, for one.

Like everything by Green Day, I'd give this an:

8 for attitude
6 for playing
4 for songwriting
2 for creative delivery

They always manage to make nice punky songs sound boring.

My wife has been telling me for a while that we should invest in some Green Day albums...I think she may be right (again!).

You should hear Glen Campbell do this song. Seriously!

Somewhat tolerable and so very tired. Too bad this is the tune that makes Green Day these days.

Romeo rates all songs 10s and has essentially the same comments. I contend he is a bot, but who knows.


Doubt if romeo's a bot...I've gotten PMs from him which don't mention hotel rooms, dancing or ears.

Back to the song:
It might be a light throwaway ditty, but I always remember it being played on the final Seinfeld retrospective episode, and I still get a lump in my throat remembering that. If you were of a certain age and demographic in the early 90s, Seinfeld was part of your soundtrack, and this was the PERFECT song to wrap it up.

It's not fair that I judge this song by the bad taste left in my mouth after hearing this sung on an episode of the US television show "ER". By a doctor at the funeral of a teenage patient. It's not the song's fault that it was used for such a maudlin purpose.
