Nele Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 According to Billie Joe on New Year's Day 2004, they started recording 39/Smooth on December 29th and Alan was like "Y'know, it's my birthday and I'm 39. You guys should call the record 39." And Billie Joe was like "Oh yeah, cool!....um, whatever." And then they were driving around in their Volkswagen bus when Mike said that he wanted to call the album "Smooth" [and apparently that was because Mike always had a smooth, shitty grin on his face..and they smoked lots of weed, or something ] And then John said "We should call the album 39 / Smooth!"And that's how it happened The name Slappy came about from a pot influence and they thought it was just a funny word. [Their original bass player Sean Hughes's dog is on the cover of the EP]And the name 1,000 Hours apparently came from someone's collection of some sort that Billie was looking through. He said the name just stuck...and it ended up being the "cheesiest song" he ever wrote I always thought it was Mikes dog, but Wikipedia is not always correct of course.
