Song of the Week Going to Pasalacqua

[tommy_huggs]

Great song. Good choice for song of the week. What the hey!

[Bastard of 1967]

This week’s Song of the Week is Going to Pasalacqua. Please use this thread to discuss your thoughts and feelings about the song.

Another awesome choice -- one of Billie's older (and better) forward-looking love songs. I LOVE the way the opening chord and lyric reaches out and grabs you by the throat! One question....WTF is Pasalaqua?

I promise I'll write more later (gotta go feed my kid!)

[Metanoia]

one of my favs of the OLD ones =)

@ everyone who doesn't know how to pronounce pasalacqua:

download this, around 18:44, 22:14 and 29:16 you hear how it's not pronounced, around 29:25 you hear it the right way. and even if you already know how to pronounce it but don't have it yet, download it anyway =D

And I loved that Saturday Night Special thing.

hehe even though i knew how to pronounce it thanks for the download link thats kinda funny

[Abstractication]

Easily one of my favorite songs. If I ever get to see Green Day, I think I'd melt if they were to play this song.

[colour_me_stupid_]

I have just fallen in love with this song all over again! Im requesting it at Marlay Park lol

[valentinesandcigs]

Before the 2 Garden shows i prayed every night for this song to be played The first night they didn't play it so i was not expecting them to play it the next night but then i heard the opening chords being played really slowly and i just kept thinking to myself: "No way its a tease they're not gonna play it" and then Billie sang "Here we go again" and i just want insane haha.

Defiantly one of my favorites

[Savior of Rebellion]

Finally, I've been waiting for this to be Song of the Week...nice choice J'net !!

What more can I say, I just really love this song

[Laura!]

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, it's one of the songs that stood out to me on 1039. Then I heard it live on Comp'd and I fell in love with it even more. I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing this song.

I think this would be great as an acoustic encore song.

haha i though it was

"going to pasa - quack - kaka"

[Ayame]

One of my favourite songs off 1039/SOSH.

It's lucky that they played it at the concert I went to last year.

[green-day1972]

Going to Pasalacqua is my new favorite song since... one week (before it was Longview)

Would I last forever?

You and I together, hand and hand

We run away.

(far away)

Love it <3

[Harriet]

I would kill to hear this song live.

[AnnA™]

Hm, what to say... One of the greatest songs. This one, and Only of You are my favourites off 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours.

I just love it. There's something about Billie's singing in this song on the CD. Perfect

[SpiffyGiffy]

Has to be my favourite Green Day song I think

And so it is probably in my top 5 songs of all time

They played it in Manchester when I went. He did the "any really old school Green Day fans?" and obviously half the arena was screaming. Until they actually started playing Going to Pasalacqua and then I was the only person anywhere near me who was singing along

I think my favourite version is the one on Foot In Mouth

This.

It's just one of those songs you can't get enough of

[PasalacquaBomb]

One question....WTF is Pasalaqua?

I read once it is a burial place in Rodeo, California.

[skindogfuss]

Going to Pasalacqua was epic at the O2. Praying they do it at Wembley!

It was epic at the M.E.N too.. never thought I would ever hear that song live. Fucking love it!

Well, we started off facing the stage but essentially in the right corner where the catwalk meets the stage - right in front of Mike. But during the show, the pushing caused us to start "traveling" around the barrier until we were more in the corner facing Billie's mic. Two other friends were on my right side (Jason and Niall) - Tony was on my left side with Bubbles next to him. Does any of that ring a bell???

Yeah, same kinda thing happened to me, I was on the same side and was pushed around till I was right in front of Billie at the end. For this song I was in that corner at the end of the catwalk so must have been really close to you guys!

You were probably right next to Bubbles!
