I thought it was from another musical. Sorry about that!
Certified Nimrod Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Really? I thought it was from another musical. Sorry about that! TODD WAS WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING GREEN DAY-RELATED?! THE BAND REALLY IS BREAKING UP!
Todd Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 TODD WAS WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING GREEN DAY-RELATED?! THE BAND REALLY IS BREAKING UP! You're trying too hard. Sit down before you embarrass yourself
Certified Nimrod Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 You're trying too hard. Sit down before you embarrass yourself What am I doing?
Todd Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 What am I doing? Nothing out of the ordinary I guess
fatherotti Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 So back in the downloads there's a small clip with an early Nimrod setlist. http://www.greendaycommunity.org/topic/96037-rare-nimrod-era-interview-info/#entry5571396 In the setlist there are 2 songs that never appeared in the final record. Either that or they were retitled later on. Anyone know anything about Alfred E Normal and 19th Nervous? haha

Anyone know anything about Alfred E Normal and 19th Nervous? haha I believe 19th Nervous is referring to 19th Nervous Breakdown, originally by The Rolling Stones. As for Alfred E Normal, no idea.

Either that or they were retitled later on. Anyone know anything about Alfred E Normal and 19th Nervous? haha I don't recall "Alfred E. Normal" being talked about but "19th Nervous Breakdown" is a Rolling Stones song Green Day tried to cover. Unfortunately Billie couldn't get the vocals right so it was never completed.
Certified Nimrod Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I believe 19th Nervous is referring to 19th Nervous Breakdown, originally by The Rolling Stones. As for Alfred E Normal, no idea. I was typing the same thing!
fatherotti Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Ahh I see thanks guys! Alfred E Normal is unknown haha.
Jon Benjamin Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Alfred E. Normal has been talked about here I don't remember details though.
green day is Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Alfred E. Normal has been talked about here I don't remember details though. That's cause there are no details. We've known about it from that list but that's all.
Hermione Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Really? I thought it was from another musical. Sorry about that! I did have to double check by googling it to be fair. And he did make reference to other musicals in the song, eg "bullets over broadway", so it's understandable!

Anyone know anything about Alfred E Normal and 19th Nervous? haha Pretty much what everyone else said, there are no details on Alfred E Normal, but another song they were gonna do was Elvis Costello's Allison, that one didn't cut it either
Crimpshrine Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 On Armatafe Shanks at the Bridge what Mike and Bille are saying ? can't understand and find on lyrics is like they're saying "See you later ohhh"
green day is Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 On Armatafe Shanks at the Bridge what Mike and Bille are saying ? can't understand and find on lyrics is like they're saying "See you later ohhh" No one knows, since it isn't in the lyrics book and they haven't talked about it. Other notable examples - the end of Hitchin' A Ride and part of Reject, both of which Billie has admitted are just nonsense.
DookieLukie Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Pretty much what everyone else said, there are no details on Alfred E Normal, but another song they were gonna do was Elvis Costello's Allison, that one didn't cut it either They were going to put a cover song on Nimrod?
WhiteTim Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 They were going to put a cover song on Nimrod? Im sure it was probally for a single b side more so than the actual album
Todd Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 They were going to put a cover song on Nimrod? Who knows. They tried recording it at least. They record like 40 songs for each album though, right? I know they had a ton for Nimrod, 21Cb, and the trilogy. But I'm sure if they really liked a song, they'd release it somehow, whether that be on a single, a comp, or a live album
Hermione Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 On Armatafe Shanks at the Bridge what Mike and Bille are saying ? can't understand and find on lyrics is like they're saying "See you later ohhh" My personal theory is that they're saying "sing it with me, whooaahh", sarcastically inviting the listener to join in singing this totally negative song, the last song you'd expect to have a singalong with. And instead of singing along with a happy "whoa" like you would in a happy song, they sing a miserable sounding cynical "whoa". Hopefully I've heard that right because if so it's awesome.
Guest Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Always thought it was "say my baby woah". Makes about as much sense as anything on Insomniac really,
