Not sure if serious or not.

The only one that was serious was "Dirty Rotten Imbeciles", you know like the hardcore punk band? The rest of them were just stupid jokes.

A for effort guys, but I can't help at facepalming over most of these suggestions.

F.O.D - F*ck off and die

I hope you realize F.O.D. stands for Fuck Off and Die lol.

A Girl Called Kill would have been a great name for Blood Sex and Booze

As for others;

Dirty Rotten Bastards - Calling All Demons

Brain Stew - On My Own... Here We Go

I think Loss of Control was originally called Crushing Bastards. I prefer the one they went with though.

Sassafras Roots - Waste Like You

8th Avenue Serenade - Cradle Songs for a Midlife

Haha You're Dead - Your Demise Has Been Greatly Appreciated.

Okay that last one was tongue in cheek.

Well, they were pretty stupid, some actually were quite rude and offensive

Cradle songs for a midlife sounds like an album full of lullabyes made for adults.

I'll admit that naming songs isn't my strong point. Thankfully it's not my job to do that.

Dude, just leave it alone.

Nightlife would be renamed Addiction.

This thread has made me thankful none of you guys have creative control over Green Day.

Geek Stink Breath - No Self Control

Last Night On Earth - Sending All My Love

Baby Eyes - Born To Kill

Basket Case - Paranoid

Macy's Day Parade - All That I Wanted

That'll be so sad though. These are all very unique and strong titles so I disagree with all except "Baby Eyes", which I'm pretty indifferent about, Born To Kill or Baby Eyes, neither is great, but still works. You pretty much suggest that they name all the songs after whatever is sung in the chorus, but as I see it you should only do that if the lyrics present itself as a title, something unique like "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" or "99 Revolutions". But in these cases the title in itself adds even more depth to the song. The best example of how well that can work is "Good Riddance". If it was simply called "Time of Your Life" no one would pick up on the bittersweet undertones of the song, which are probably half of its greatness.

"Last Night on Earth" sets up an atmosphere of "this is all that I don't tell you, but what I would tell you if it was my last chance". It explains more of the intention behind the song.

"Macy's Day Parade" is the same, and acts as a perfect symbol of what the song is about. It's about contemplating on the real values in life during a commercialized holiday.

"Geek Stink Breath" is more of a mood-setter. It makes you imagine a filthy teenage lush, and actually tells more about the song than "No Self Control" does, and it's just more unique.

And "Basket Case" just sums up what is wanted to be told in the song. He is not just "paranoid", he's just losing his mind overall. It also fits the light mood of the song better with a fun title rather than a serious one, and it's catchy and original.

If anything, I'd be more interested if people would take the "boring" titles like "All The Time", "Hold On", "You Lied", "See The Light" or "Loss of Control" and come up with something completely unique and original for it instead. Something not taken from any lyric, but something that sums up the song even better than any lyric could do on its own. And it has to be memorable as well.

Oh man, you are buthering the wrong song titles.

You are all taking some the most original titles they have and just suggesting they'd go with the most trivial sounding thing you can extract from the chorus, instead.

Brain Stew - On My Own... Here We Go

Sassafras Roots - Waste Like You

No. :fuckyou:

Hannah and I big owned with the renames today.

And I think some people are taking this way too seriously.

Nothing's fun unless you take it somewhat seriously. But don't get me wrong, I'm not offended by people's suggestions by any stretch, I'm just amazed at how one-dimensional they seem, when the original title is so unique. I wish to emphasize the smile by which that smiley was giving his middle finger, because that's the context good online discussion should be taken in. ;)

Stop changing the names of the songs to lyrics in the song. It gets old after a while. Hence why Green Day didn't name all their songs after lyrics. That's why we have Platypus and Good Riddance.

Coming Clean = Turning Point
Longview = Lack of motivation
Poprocks and Coke = I'll be there
Redundant = Humdrum

Humdrum? What the fuck is that? Again, unique song names being turned into boring names.

Okay then. Regardless, I got a good laugh out of them.
