I don't know, all I can find out is that it was released on the soundtrack. I'd quite like to know if it was just recorded for Friends too, and how the collaboration came about. Wonder if they've ever talked about it? I suppose they weren't going around getting interviewed in 1999 so maybe not.

What does Billie use on his hair besides Jhirmack Styling Spritz because I find it hard to believe he only uses a 4$ hair product (http://www.medshopex...com/077914.html). So yea, what else does he use on his hair?

Billie Joe's wax look

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong uses surfboard wax in his hair.The rocker says the waterproof gripping aid helps him create his trademark spikey hairdo.He revealed: "I use wax on my hair, it gets rid of my natural afro. But sleep and lack of sleep does it just as well.'Meanwhile, Billie Joe claims if he wasn't in a band he would be a swimming pool cleaner.He explained: "I love what I do. If I wasn't doing this, I dunno what I'd do. I think I might have been a swimming pool cleaner!'

Was it just recorded for the Friends episode?

According to Penelope Houston, Howie Klein from Warner suggested that she should wirte something with Green Day. So she wrote the lyrics and gave it to Billie to write the melody, and latter they recorded the song together. It was supposted to be on "Lois and Clark" soundtrack originally, but then Howie Klein decided to put it in the soundtrack of Friends.

Thanks for that info! Cool to know.

It's a collaboration with Penelope Houston, her singing with Billie doing some backing vocals and Green Day playing the music. It was on a Friends episode in 1999 and released on a Friends soundtrack album called 'Friends Again' the same year. Here it is in the episode, it was playing at a party:

@Rocky_ArmWoof @CleoArmstrong

I just saw these twitter accounts for the first time. Are these both Billie? Or Adrienne, Joey, or Jakob? Or were they made by fans?

It'd be awesome if Billie were tweeting on these :dance:

So Green Day have a song called "What About Today" When is it from? I've heard that it's really old, but I found a download that mentions a Cigs an Vals demo ( http://www.mediafire.com/?za93sta5kga61ia ) Does anyone know when this song was actually from?

what the fuck is this shit? :mellow:

[video of the Vonnegutt cover for "When I Come Around"]

Question: Why does this exist? That rap in the middle made my ears bleed. There was a mention of Green Day kind of in the song (in the rap. Good luck), but oh my god.

As for smoking....heh, other than cigarettes, I'd say these guys were pretty active pretty early. Already in a band writing about smoking weed at 18-19 years old? :P

During the era of recording Cigarettes and Valentines they posted a bunch of phone messages on their website including a few other songs like Christmas ones as well, that was one of the tracks they posted. As a lot of people have said, it sounds like it was used for The Networks song Spike

Yeah you get lots of confusion when it comes to those songs. For some reason different people each song is "What About Today"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_Christmas_(song)

I was reading about the song Father Christmas by the Kinks and found this:

The song has been covered a number of times by bands including the Gigolo Aunts, Green Day, Warrant,Lit, Bowling for Soup, Save Ferris, Action Action, Everything and OK Go.

Is there any truth to this? Maybe it was covered during a concert or something.

Yeah I have no idea why people would call the Network sounding song What About Today, maybe a download of it got incorrectly labelled or something. I just call it the Networky song.
