haveUgotAny Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Hahahahah the way he sings no fucking way in the last chorus is so fucking catchy
Cym Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 My brother and sister really like the Lonely Island band, and some of their songs are really funny and ridiculous. I try not to admit that I like them too, because I'm not too into rap or hip-hop, or stupid humor. That being said, I think this song was ace. Billie's vocals are crazy good, and I can easily see myself getting addicted to this song. It's hilarious! One of the main things that cracked me up about it is that it is literally about running NY, instead of living a gangster or thug life, they're battling sewer rats and bureaucracy. Brilliant.
Sofia Armstrong Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Billie's voice is amazing, seriously come on it's just fucking epic!
Bastard of 1969 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Nightlife's bass riff is one of the best they've ever written. But I don't like any other aspect of that song. Just my opinion. Yes, i just forgot dat bass line
Davis Weiss Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Ok picture this, They don't release a music video for this song for a while. When SNL comes back we find out that Green Day is the music guest on one of the first few new shows. Then later we find out Billie Joe is going to host! (Joking haha he probably wouldn't host but how funny would that be?) They premier the video for I Run NY on that episode and that also gives Green Day their SNL gig to promote the Trilogy. Just a thought.
San Miguel Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I think it's kinda funny - reminded me of Mechanical Man more than anything else for some reason
Hermione Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Anyone have a download link ...? 'o' Downloads aren't allowed here as it's copyrighted, have to find it elsewhere.
belinda jane Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Listened to it on my way home from work on the train, and actually laughed out loud at the last part Billie sings. I'm not usually a fan of the Lonely Island but his part was pretty hilarious and very different to what we're all used to!
Harry Potter. Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 He sounds so good and funny in this. Top notch Billie Joe Armstrong.

Just a thought. That would be amazing, wouldn't it? I would love them to inch closer to being members of the Five Timers Club. Sadly, SNL, at least in recent years, seems to really only book acts that either have new albums coming out in the coming weeks or, if an album is older, have a song or two that are blowing up (as was the case with someone like Of Monsters and Men in April). And let's be real, I don't see Green Day having a hit this summer Yes, I am
Makingyourmascarableed Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I just have the picture of Billie and the Lonely Island (And probably Mike, Tre, and anyone else from Green Day) just walking through the streets like "We run this" for the music video and Billie tries to act all cool/gansta when his part comes up XD

There's one little part where he has the biggest smug look on his face, like he's king. Must watch that video now.. just for that.
mallorymaloney Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Downloads aren't allowed here as it's copyrighted, have to find it elsewhere. Oh, bollocks, I forgot. ;-; Thanks anyway!
WhiteTim Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 That would be amazing, wouldn't it? I would love them to inch closer to being members of the Five Timers Club. While I haven't watched SNL since Norm McDonald was the weekend update host but isnt the five timer club just for hosts or are musical guests included as well?
Mar Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 While I haven't watched SNL since Norm McDonald was the weekend update host but isnt the five timer club just for hosts or are musical guests included as well? Technically, yes (which I find bullshit, especially when you have an episode, as you did with this season finale with Ben Affleck and Kanye West, where both host and musical guest are making their fifth appearance, the first fifth appearance for an African-American, at that, but you only talk about the host, but I digress). I should have clarified that it would be getting closer to a theoretical membership because SNL is dumb (yet I obsess over it ).

Lol i used to be an avid watcher during the early 90's the Sandler/Rock/Farley/McDonald eras after Norm quit i just lost interest I only watch now if there a musical guest I like is being featured
WhiteTim Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 For those who care It was produced by Chops and recorded in L.A. also it appers Billie sang what Lonely Island wrote as Billie doesn't have a writing credit Just got the cd and it sounds better than itunes/amazonmp3 downloads
newsflash777 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Haha I just now listened to it. Its catchy except but I don't like his how his part is like inclining, idk. Anything with his voice hahaha
PanicAttack! Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 This is how I wish his vocals would've been mixed on Nightlife, that's what makes the song irritating to me, not the song itself, still talking about Nightlife.
dangreenday Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Its not my thing at all, but lonely island are huge and the fact they got BJ to do guest vocals is great for them
silvi@ Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Oh my god! I'm totally obsessed with "I run NY", even if it's not my genre.....but Billie's voice is AWESOME.

I kind of forgot that music video existed until about 30 seconds ago...
