American Idiot

ends.

What other Green Day song is there? Jesus of Suburbia, American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

I

don't want to be an American idiot.

All right.

Papa J, you know all those songs.

What a banger.

Now, before I introduce mine, what I would have said was I would have chosen The Beatles as well, but given that I was left to choose out of the other list, I'm going with American Idiot by Green Day, and I'm going to tell you why, because that song captured the mood of a generation after 9-11, and it was also the mood of America's invasion of Iraq, and I'm a big fan of songs made in a protest movement.

Here it is.

I

My play, Green Day, American Idiot.

I think your blanked out is also very telling of what you think of that sort of element of experience and my basic point on this is that I'm lucky to know and I'm lucky to carry with me the touching things and the fear and the love that you are.

[electronic music] American idiot.

Canadian Idiot.

Obviously a parody of American Idiot, Green Day.

The video after this, lots of Weird Al pop cultural references, which is just nuts when you see how many there are.

Want to be your lover? This is not a parody, but in the style of Midnight Vultures era Beck.
