The second of three #1 modern rock radio singles from ‘Dookie,’ (the first was “Longview,” the third was “When I Come Around”), it was a fun song about going crazy. ‘American Idiot’ was musically and thematically more ambitious than anything than Green Day had attempted up to this point, but “Holiday” showed that they could still knock out great, simple punk rock jams. Would a goofy bunch of guys like Green Day ever be able to grow up? It’s nearly as great of an album closer as “Whatsername” from ‘American Idiot,” and is another underrated Green Day song. Somehow this song didn’t make it to ‘Dookie,’ but that didn’t matter. Green Day wanted no part of it, and they let us know on this acoustic rocker: “Stepped out of the line/Like a sheep runs from the herd/Marching out of time/To my own beat now,” indeed. Ironically, years later in 2006, Green Day would perform at the New Orleans Superdome with U2 before a Saints/Falcons game. The highlights would have made a solid album. Hey, if you’re going to “borrow,” borrow from the best. Yes, Corey Taylor of Slipknot.

The song is great, and so is the video, which poked fun at football. One of the highlights of the underrated ‘Revolution Radio’ album, the song marked something of a return to politically-charged songs. “I, at least, pay the people I steal from that courtesy.” He should have taken the compliment and moved on. But unlike those guys, they actually had some fun with it. So the “Dreaming” video is a series of clips of the band members stalking through airports, wandering through foreign cities, and playing vast stadium shows — all of it made to look like the dreams of a forlorn chihuahua. They recorded an earlier version of the song for 1992’s ‘Kerplunk!,’ but the ‘Dookie’ version is better. TopPop 2,185,070 views. That’s not a knock; this song was an amazing kickoff to their 2000 album, and it showed that they could be just as badass strumming acoustic guitars as they were bashing electric ones. Their lineup included singer/guitarist Fink, singer/bassist Van Gough and a drummer known only as The Snoo, and they suspiciously talked an awful lot of smack about Green Day. It’s not entirely clear when Green Day recorded this version of the song, but it’s thick and produced, and it does not sound like the work of socially-distanced guys working remotely from home studios. And this is his favorite song from ‘Dookie.’ If you haven’t listened to this jam in a while, give it a spin and then explain to us how it wasn’t a huge hit. A gem from the band’s Lookout Records era, this is a tribute to the main character in J.D. And it deserved to stand on its own from the ‘Dookie’ songs anyway - it was a tribute to Mike Dirnt’s friend Jason Andrew Relva, who died in 1992 from injuries suffered in a car accident.
We can't w...It’s so close to “Bring It On Home To Me” that Green Day share a writing credit with the late Sam Cooke. It’s one of the best songs from the ‘UNO’/’DOS’/’TRE’ era, which would have benefitted from some editing. Most of Green Day’s best songs have ended up on the radio, but somehow this one didn’t. This acoustic ballad -- which was really a Billie Joe Armstrong solo song -- showed that the band’s singer/songwriter had more range than he’d been given credit for. “Every night I dream the same dream,” he yelped. Salinger’s ‘The Catcher In The Rye.’ One of John Lennon’s most lyrically heavy songs, by 2007, Green Day had earned the respect and gravitas to be able to do the song justice.
