Maddie86 Posted Friday at 04:08 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:08 AM I'm digging ballyhoo, even if the lyrics are a bit awkward at times. I'm also hearing some Linda Lindas influence in the melodies lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno! Posted Friday at 11:45 AM Share Posted Friday at 11:45 AM It's definitely better than Smash It Like Belushi. I didn't really care for that track when I first heard it but now I'm already completely bored of it. This would've been a much better track to release first even if it's not anything to write home about either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted Friday at 01:48 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:48 PM Oooh, really love Ballyhoo. That falsetto made my heart skip, Billie’s singing in this song is fantastic. The lyrics don’t especially make a lot of sense to me lol, but the sound of the song is just so cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThranaM Posted Friday at 01:57 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:57 PM Really, really, like this song. I love the falsetto, but the best part is the "Madness, ballyhoo" part. It's raw. The only thing that I don't like as much is the "hey, yuh" part - it's too "pop" if that makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL when they play this song live, you know Billie is going to extend that part with 2 minutes of “SAY HEYYYYYYYY OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingle Posted Friday at 02:33 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:33 PM Love both SILB & Ballyhoo. According to Wik' GD have released over 200 songs. Does anyone else come close to Billie Joe's amazing song writing skills, both lyrics and melody. Not imho. Way yer go Billie Joe, your awesome. ❤️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebahar Posted Friday at 02:53 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:53 PM I can’t already see Fantanos next weekly review of songs. He will put this one at the bottom, just shake his head and say it’s typical pop punk, and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it sounds like a common topic recently which is how he feels with his on again off again up and down struggle with a harmful habit. Reach for a knife, let it go, live it up, give up, it’s a curse, the worst, mama raised a bomb.. it’s in his nature to be a hellion but he fights against it. A couple of images I love are “useless as a … crippled ballerina” and “waiting on the sun like a star that’s blowing up”. It’s like another way of describing himself as a dead man walking. Like disaster has already struck but he doesn’t know it yet. He might write a lot about a short list of themes but no one captures the human condition and describes feelings in a simple yet relatable and emotional way like he does. He somehow always avoids sounding too self indulgent or self pitying. Like with Smash It Like Belushi the message is when you’re feeling this way just keep your head down keep going and rip shit up.

GuitarPunk94 Posted Friday at 06:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:14 PM loving it! might be even better than belushi its nice to see the direction they are going/sticking to new songs, recorded after the last lp, but they are still very good and i can totally see the trilogy influence somehow its not as generic as back to the usa was, they use different chords, mixed with different song structures and bridges etc hopefully we will get to experience those new songs during their european tour next month 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingle Posted Friday at 08:47 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:47 PM Ballyhoo lyrics: [Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong] Hurry up, hurry up, get moving Just to fall down again I'm looking like a jerk, looking like a jerk And I'm feeling like a lunatic Fuck it up, live it up, and give up Stay-at-home wanderlust I'm gonna lollygag in a sleeping bag I'm as useless as a dumb and a crippled ballerina [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt] Some days I'm reaching for a blade, I gotta let it go Sometimes I'm reaching for a knife, I gotta let it go So no hard feelings, climb the ceiling Madness, ballyhoo [Post-Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt] Hey Yuh [Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong] Listen up, listen I've been drinking Touched by the hand of luck I'm waiting on the sun, waiting on the sun Like a star that's blowing up It's a curse, it's at worst a blessing God and his only son Ah, mama raised the bomb, chewing bubblegum With a head full of trouble and a lesser main offender [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt] Some days I'm reaching for a blade, I gotta let it go Sometimes I'm reaching for a knife, I gotta let it go So no hard feelings, climb the ceiling Madness, ballyhoo [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt] Some days I'm reaching for a blade, I gotta let it go Sometimes I'm reaching for a knife, I gotta let it go Some days I'm reaching for a blade, I gotta let it go Sometimes I'm reaching for a knife, I gotta let it go So no hard feelings, climb the ceiling Madness, ballyhoo [Outro: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt] Hey Yuh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they were recorded just like 6 months ago, but given some thematic similarities and repeated word choices (like ballyhoo haha), I have a sense they were likely written around the same time as Saviors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
