Clayish Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 The production was overkill. In Hip Hop? Of course it's overkill. It's a fucking hip hop track. That doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuckWithInsomnia Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Definetly, it fucking sucks. It was good at the start with just Billie's vocals and it was sounding all mysterious. Reminded me off The Offspring's "Dirty Magic" (The 2012 version more so). Then Lady Cobra comes along with her shitty as fuck rap, Rap is probably my second favorite genre of music behind Rock (I class Punk and Pop Punk as sub-genres of rock) but this is song is just shit. I really do like Dos though, and experimenting different types of music is good, and Green Day have always done it just in this case, they haven't produced a good song. (Brain Stew, Kind For A Day, Good Riddance, Warning, Waiting, Macy Day Parade, Minority/American Idiot, JOS/HC, WMUWSE, Peacemaker, Kill The DJ, Oh Love, FBHT, Network, FOD, Modern World, BOBD etc. all were experimental) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodrigo86 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Each one of my friends hates the song, me too. It's ok, the bassline is good, the atmosphere is very intense But WHY? Green Day, WHYYYYYYY? That rap is, sadly, the worst Green Day song ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SetOnOverdrive Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Awww, you're gonna need some precipate at around 0 degrees Fahrenheit for that burn! That's like -20 degrees Celsius. I'm sure you would get frostbite at that temperature. Which in essence is a burn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbite would cancel it out, if the burn is so bad that you're burning alive of course. Depends on what kind of burning you prefer to be honest. I'm a frostbite kind of guy personally. Don't judge me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGLWW Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I thought the same when i first heard it. But any sane person would say it isn't even the worst song on Dos. It is a quality rap song/Misery type Warning party song. And I think Lady Cobra is an awesome singer. The song is so freaking sexy. It takes it to the dirty extreme but it makes sure it isn't degrading to women. It actually kinda is a cry to women. It is kinda like One for the Razorbacks of Kerplunk! Shows the satire of it but speaks for feminism at the same time. I've always admired when green day does that. So many punk bands fail to get that message through. Dookie only enhanced that fact and it was done even somewhat ambitiously. I mean just listen to the lyrics of She. For it's slacker reputation, Dookie and many of their other early albums, are overshadowed by the fun and ridiculous. Dookie can being freeing and inspiring, same with Insomniac, Nimrod, and Warning is the culmination of that inspiration where the fan love comes back to the band and with American Idiot it is all capped off with an explosion. Shame how people can't see that. I say if you only like old green day, you never were a true green day fan because you missed the main point.

SetOnOverdrive Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Can someone post a picture of this Lady Cobra person? I'm really interested to see what she looks like now. I did a google search but a whole bunch of different folk showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtue Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I think Billie's part was catchy.. The effects? Maybe a tiny bit overdone,but catchy. The bassline and instrumentals? Even as a Rap song Green Day never disappoints,IT's Sexy As Fk. The lyrics for the rap on the other hand sucks ass. "Better make a move before I get bored?" what the fuck? But if I didn't listen to the lyrics or care for it,It's generally a good song.I like it. Lyrically,No. In terms of catchiness yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Kennedys singing about Nazi's, a bunch other good and crap bands have done the same. Just because the song is about an "encounter" doesn't mean it is sexist. Everyone does shit, it is how you clean it up that matters. That what Amy starts to go into and what Tre will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrongWayToSalvation Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 You're one to talk about feminism when you throw around "slutty" so casually. Well, when she talks about telling someone to "explore my vocal chord".and hooch and chooch (vagina?) that seems to fit into the "Hey, get me drunk and we may just hook up!" sort of thing.

No you're reading into that wrong. The girl is the one that is initiating it. And if you listen to other songs on the album, you will see what I mean.

And obviously I was being sarcastic. I don't think feminism is about that. I do think a lot of feminists are annoying as hell and hypocritical though. At least the ones on internet forums, but hey everyone is on a forum No you're reading into that wrong. The girl is the one that is initiating it. And if you listen to other songs on the album, you will see what I mean. Yeah, girl initiating it, while being drunk. That kind of fits into the slutty bar girl thing. Some girls act like that when they're drunk. Which is exactly what I'm saying, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
