Lauren Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 no, I think I know it's that.Oh for My Generation it's "I think I can do it"Actually, it's:"I think I can do The Who..."because the song was originally done by The Who.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Actually, it's:"I think I can do The Who..."because the song was originally done by The Who. At what point in the song is that? I can't find it for the life of me
Lauren Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 It's the first thing Billie says! He whispers it, (well, more like mumbles) so it's kind of low... but it's at the VERY start of the song.

On GDA it says that it's "way down in the mix" and I misunderstood that as somewhere in the middle, or a couple of seconds after the intro started or something.
djrossstar Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 There is a really old article, I believe it's from one of the old Green Day 7 inch records or an old magazine, that explains what Mike says in the middle of Private Ale. I don't remember it exactly, but part was 'crystal-crackin, leaf lovin, ha, la la la lemon'DJ Rossstar

djrossstar Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I remember now. It's from an old Lookout! Records catalog on the Green Day page.DJ Rossstar

Guest Shangri-La Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I remember now. It's from an old Lookout! Records catalog on the Green Day page.DJ Rossstardo you remember the month/year it came out? if i was before '94, which it most likely is, then it's probably lost forever..
drrrnn Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Back in the summer of 2000 there was a contest on one of the Green Day fansites... it might have been Greenday.net or Greendaysite.com, I don't remember, but whoever figured out what Mike was saying in that song won an autographed whatever, so I listened to the song over and over again, and could only make out the same thing every time, which is not even close to what he actually says, but now every single time I listen to the song all I hear is "Hey don't see huggin' glass, you can burn Molly crystal crackin' Pete buggin' ha.... l-l-lemon"...I know he says something about a hippie driving a lemon, but I haven't cared enough to figure it out.
Guest Shangri-La Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 ^you were close enough. they should've given you something anyway
deadair Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Hey, I know this is kinda unrelated but I need to ask. Does anybody know who the girl is that recites the nobody likes you lines at the beginning of the song "Letterbomb" on American Idiot?
deadair Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 kathleen hanna of bikini killThanks so much! I've been wondering that for 4 years! Weird you mention Bikini Kill. A family friend was just mentioning how he liked them. Now I can tell him that a member participated on a Green Day record!

Now I can tell him that a member participated on a Green Day record!you've been wondering for 4 years but never thought to check the AI credits in the cd?
deadair Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 you've been wondering for 4 years but never thought to check the AI credits in the cd? A friend burned the CD for me. That was the first Green Day CD I ever listened to. I never had an original copy. Before I looked here I looked for credits at wikipedia but couldn't find them
Hermione Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 ^ It's funny the other band Billie Joe's in, Pinhead Gunpowder, have a song called 'Kathleen' about Kathleen Hanna. Billie sings on it, it's a great song. So you could tell him that too
shoegazeloser Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 OK, guys, how about this? I gather up all of the versions of what people think Mike says in Private Ale. When I have enough, I make a poll on which one we think is correct so that we can ultimately come up with a decision. Alright, let's wait for more versions...
shoegazeloser Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 "crystal-crackin' leaf lovin' ha, la la la lemon"The crystal is methamphetamine. Leaf-lovin....self-explanatory. Now i'm 100% certain that it's about weed and meth.
forget_me_nots Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 You guys all sound like me. I LOVE to just sit and listen intensely to find every little sound. Like the cough at the beginning of 'Pasalacqua', and the muttering in 'My Generation', and every word of 'Dominated Love Slave', and the cheering at the end of 'Dry Ice'......but everyone knows those. BTW, I dont know is this is right, but I think the thing at the beginning of 'Knowledge' is "Let's get personal" backwards. Maybe. If my memory serves me right.

If my memory serves me right.You can also hear someone laughing (Mike?) at the very end of "Too Much Too Soon" just after the last note. There is also some song that after the last note Tre shuffles with his drumsticks. I've always wondering what the thing at the beginning of Knowledge is. I tried to reverse it with audacity but I couldn't hear anything.
Lauren Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 sorry this is random but you were talking about kathleen...does anyone know the girl on Android?
