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!).

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.

I wonder if every high school in the U.S. for the years since this song came out ended up paying royalties (esp. around graduation season)?  Don't mind that it's overplayed; they deserve kudos — just as the folks collecting on Happy Birthday every year deserve a tip of the (party) hat.

Never heard this song before I heard it on RP a couple of years ago. I can understand how it could be over-played, but I would like it none the less.

I must agree and for those who say you cannot ruin a song by overplay, you can say that all you want but it will not change the fact that overplay ruins the experience of a lot of perfectly good songs. {#Yes}

I like Green Day, but Billie Joe's nasally delivery doesn't really suit this song.
 
It seems that his nasal delivery begat legions of "punk" bands with nasal singers over the last 15 years.

Stiff Little Fingers and The Clash are better - but hey I'll take some Green Day now and then.
 

You can't strip them of punk accolades; they are not now, nor were they ever punk.

We have four local radio stations here, and they ALL play this damned song at least twice a day. I am not fond of Green Day. They are the musical equivalent of Jeff Spicoli.

Early Green Day, hell yeah, but not this tripe. These guys sure have made a lot of money but their progression has been anything but positive.

I graduated from high school in 1998. It's not tough to guess which song was THE graduation song for nearly every high school in America that year. Thank god I didn't go to prom.

That being said, the wounds of radio overplay are beginning to heal and I can possibly begin to enjoy this song.
