JadedHaushinka Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 It's a song that has been stuck in my head most of all the other Green Day songs. o.O I love it and I sometimes sing it when I get mad at my sis.
Bastard of 1967 Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Ah, yes, Green Day's ode to schadenfreude! The lyrics are simplistic and don't have anywhere near the subtleties that Billie's songwriting does, but it's great to hear what Mike can come up with -- and even better to have him taking the lead vocal during the chorus. His likening whoever he is singing about to "chewing on tinfoil" is just killer. How many of us have been at the ballpark or a burrito joint where a little bit of that foil wrapper rips off and rides along in whatever you're eating -- even worse when it short-circuits a filling! AIIIEE!! Love this song.
SetOnOverdrive Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 As your ship is going down I'll stand by and watch you drown. I've thought that about so many people! An amazing track.
Smoothed Out Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I love singing this at school, when someone pisses me off I definitely want it at my funeral, one of the best songs ever! I love it
Waffles Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 My friend keeps on playing that song on his ipod over and over again. I love it too
Smbcf Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I forgot how good this song was! I hadn't listened to it in a while. It's so catchy!
xjernpqvrnbfv Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Ohh I love this song! I'd love to hear it live! My favourite line is probably As your ship is going down I'll stand by and watch you drown.
Hermione Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 For some reason this song has always been one of my least favourites, I dunno why. I still like it though. It has, like, a pirate vibe going on. I could imagine some rowdy pirates singing it in a bar. Hearing like chewing on tinfoil actually makes my teeth hurt, love that line. And also As your ship is going down, I'll stand by and watch you drown - excellent
theviridiansea Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I love this song. The first time I heard it I listened to it on repeat for 3 hours.
Moffie Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I thought we were going to be on "When I Come Around" forever! Interesting song. Fits the mood, I guess.
tommy_huggs Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 One of my fav's from shenanigans! "I can see through you, cos you're wearing thin." My favourite line from this song!
Dry_Ice Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I like Shenanigans since its really raw but not so much as Insomniac. Ha Ha Yo're Dead is a great track from this album just to scream!
oscar is a nimrod Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I really love this song, especially the chorus. like others have said shenanigans was not too polished and not too shabby either, just right....
1039slappygirl Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I love so much this song I think it's great to listen to/sing at whenever I get pissed off about something Mikey Dirnt did a great job with the lyrics
deadbeatbrat Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I love this song! It's so upbeat, despite the lyrics--although if he's laughing about it, then I guess that makes sense. I wish Mike would write more
Waffles Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I love this song! It's so upbeat, despite the lyrics--although if he's laughing about it, then I guess that makes sense. I wish Mike would write more I know, it would be interesting
east cc nowhere Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I love the line I can see through you cause you're wearing thin really clever use of words and common sayings to create an interesting meaning. This is one of my favourite lines from all of their songs Maybe the song is about the Journalist that Platypus was aimed at who raved about them before dookie but when they signed to a major label did a 180 on them I heard your sick Sucked on that cancer stick A throbbing tumor and a radiation high Shit out of luck And now your time is up It brings me pleasure just to know you're going to die It sounds like he was dying so maybe Ha Ha Your Dead is also about him?
GDM Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I love this song! Next to Desensitized it's my favourite song off Shenanigans! ^this^ I love this song for its rye sense of humor. And because sometimes, you just feel that way about some people!
Doris The Spider Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 This is probably my favorite Green Day song. This then JAR. I love Mike's songs. I don't know what to say about the song but I give it two thumbs up!
BUBBA7012 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Shenanigans is a great record, its very underrated
xpoprocks&kittycatsx Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I love this song! It's a great track off of Shenanigans! It's a nice song to shout out to the person you hate! Haha!
