-Billiejoezee- Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 yeah but thats what a fink in german actually means http://www.michael-dornieden.de/images/20090119165238_fink_landscape_small.jpg oh now I get it.
Isabel Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Ohhhhh, I always assumed he was saying "four" at the beginning. Ha, I've been wrong for 5 years. Go figure.
green day is Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Everytime I sing this song all of a sudden I switch songs and I find myself singing words I might have ate. I do the same thing but with Dominated Love Slave.
Margo 39 smooth Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 haha i'd never heard that before but i realy like it
justcause Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Fucking love this - anytime it fetches up on my player, it raises a smile. It's kind of brisk like a cold shower, and it's a superb piece of writing. Short as it is, it has everything - a vivid little picture-story that has humor and warm and a little pathos. Y'know how they say that short stories are the hardest things to write - and here's a little piece of perfection, delivered with the flick of a wrist and the thrum of a guitar. It's just great.
Boston Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I love this song. Whenever it comes on my shuffle, I repeat it at least three times. Its so catchy. I always wish it were longer.

justcause Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 So now I love this song, and your post Aw, thanx!!
fadi_7 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 u just wish it's a bit longer and i'm sure that it will be my fave green day song !
Juliette Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 aww i love this song so much, something so sweet about it
The Snark Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Great choice! I love this song so much and it makes me immensely happy whenever it pops up on shuffle. I always thought it sounded like it could have been a Warning B-side: catchy and the storyline reminds me of a happy Misery. Plus it's fun to play on the kazoo.
Hermione Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Such a funny little song! A really nice little amusing story, it has that acoustic folk-y sound like a proper folk tale. I love the name and concept of the album it's from too, a whole album of loads of 30 second long songs is such a cool idea. I've always thought of the Wilhelm Fink in question as being the one from Pinhead Gunpowder, with the rough and ready feel of the song. The Network's Fink seems like an entirely different character, who just happens to have a similar name
madddie Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I love this song! Short and sweet. I can listen to it on repeat for ages.
Florence Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I really like this song. It's one of my favorite GD rarities. fave lines: ~But considering our luck We'll get busted by the cops Instead of sex, we'll go to jail Another lesson learned and failed~
EvanAsFuck Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Absolutely love this song... The shortness just adds to the amazingness of it too!!
taybay Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Never heard this song before, but I like it a lot. Thank you
greendaytone Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Great little ditty, that I haven't listened to enough. I bet Billie Joe wrrote this in just a few minutes. And the Berkeley Marina is a beautiful place.
ltrbmb17 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 if you didn't choose this song as SOTW probably I'd never hear not only THIS song but even ABOUT this song!!! THANK YOU!!! It is so romantic!!! Punk romantic But considering our luck We'll get busted by the cops. Instead of sex, we'll go to jail AWESOME!
placenta Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Great choice! I remember when this one came out, I listened to the compilation a lot - as many bands on the disc is quite cool. A fun project by Fat Mike from NOFX, where he got 101 bands to make short songs. More detailed information on the record here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Music_For_Short_People I think it's still in print and easily available through most online vendors (correct me if I'm wrong on this). It was released on vinyl as well, and I can imagine it must be quite a hard task to get the needle to the right spots of the record, haha. I really recommend getting it, both since it has Billie Joe on it, and because it's overall a fun release
