J'net Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 This week's Song of the Week is Stuck With Me. Please use this thread to discuss your thoughts and feelings about the song. Stuck With Me first appeared on the Insomniac album, which was released in October 1995, reached number two on the charts and has gone platinum twice. Stuck With Me was released as a single and reached position 34 on the charts. An interesting fact about this song is that it wasn't originally supposed to be named "Stuck With Me." The song that's now called Do Da Da was supposed to be named Stuck With Me (for obvious reasons); however, someone made an error during production and this song was given the name Stuck With Me. When asked to come up with a name for the other song, Do Da Da was flippantly chosen. Here's the official video for the single Stuck With Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8HYE1E-V4o Stuck With Me Lyrics I'm not part of your elite I'm just alright Class structure waving colors Bleeding from my throat Not subservient to you I'm just alright Down classed by the powers that be Give me loss of hope Cast out... Buried in a hole Struck down... forcing me to fall Destroyed... giving up the fight I know I'm not alright What's my price and will you pay it if it's alright? Take it from my dignity Waste it until it's dead Throw me back into the gutter 'Cause it's alright Find another pleasure fucker Drag them down to hell Cast out... Buried in a hole Struck down... forcing me to fall Destroyed... giving up the fight I know I'm not alright ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can nominate songs for discussion as Song of the Week in the Song Discussions thread, which contains links to each previous Song of the Week from 9/14/2009 forward in its original post.

gabbag Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I love this song, especially the first lyrics. It is just a great song and one of the best on Insomniac
Mari91 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 i love this song!the opening line "i'm not part of your elite" is just so perfectthe video to this song is also one of my favorites
-Billiejoezee- Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I always get mixed up with this and do da da.
Emmalee Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I really like the first line - "I'm not part of your elite, I'm just alright"This song is fun, and I'm glad a song off Insomniac is SOTW becuase it's my favourite Green Day album, heheAnd even though it wasn't originally it's name, I've always liked the name "Stuck With Me" for this song, it just seems to fit nicely in a way that I've never really been able to explain. The fact that it came about from a mistake someone made just makes it more awesome, hehe
Tiffx Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 This is a song I listen to when it feels like everything is going to shit. It means a lot to me. To me it really emphasises feeling pathetic and defeated. So whenever I'm feeling horrible about myself or my life in general, this is the perfect song to relate to and it makes me feel better because I know I'm not the only one who has felt useless. I also think the song is a bit sarcastic, especially the throw me back into the gutter part. Which is why I love Green Day's music because it can be simple yet have a double meaning. This just shows that Green Day's older music has never just been about 'masturbation and getting high'. It really frustrates me how nearly every review or person who doesn't really listen to them assumes that. I mean if you look at the lyrics, this song is also talking about separating yourself from society and expressing a frustration with being subjugated. Some people act like that was a completely new theme in American Idiot. Anywayy that's what the song means to me, one of my favourites on Insomniac. I'll stop ranting about it now though.
Supermodel*Robot Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Oooh, awesomesauce! I love love love this song. For some reason I love Billie's voice in it. Haha I have a thing about the way he says "not alriiiiiight." YOU APPLY THE SAUCE TO YOUR WORDS? lamesauce, radsauce, dopesauce, etc. hmm anywho. I love this song. It gets out all my aggression. Actually I love this entire album. It's just so fiery and raw. The music video reminds me of the 21stCB one (or I guess it's the other way.) Angry fast punk is always the way to go. I quite miss this side of them.
Heather! Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 This is one of GD's songs that I never listened to as much as the others. But I love the lyrics a lot.
Mar Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 The lyrics to this song are great. Very relatable, especially the first line, at least in my eyes. Not one of my favorites, but I like it.
Penguin Puffball Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I had this song stuck in my head earlier.
Laura! Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 It's not one of my favorites, but I love it. I'm listening to it right now, I haven't listened to it in forever.
Solitary One Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I love this song, and all of Insomniac, for that matter. Hell, I love everything by Green Day, but you all know what I mean.
cmrnmrphy Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I think this was the first song i heard off of insomniac
