I don't really have a single favorite song in mind, though if I can name records from the era I'll pick Slappy and Kerplunk. I like most of the songs in there. Mainly because they're IMHO kinda more cohesive/solid. And heck, some of them are quite fun to play.

As for 39/Smooth, maybe Going to Pasalacqua, Green Day, The Judge's Daughter, Rest (yeah, I like it), At the Library. And as sappy as it is, the first half of 1,000 Hours (1,000 Hours, Dry Ice).

Words I Might Have Ate is a good one!

Definitely "Android."

1,000 Hours - Only of You. Because it's amazing, I love the sound they had when they first started out. The combination of the loud guitar and that pop sound.

39/Smooth - Don't Leave Me, because it rocks and Going to Pasalacqua because it's such a good song it's still being played in sold out arenas around the world to this day.

Slappy - 409 In Your Coffee Maker because it sounds like something that would have been on Dookie (and almost was)

Kerplunk - My favorite Green Day record of all time. Id say 2,000 Light Years Away because it's a fucking classic, Christie Road because it was the most mature and heartfelt song Green Day had written at that point and Words I Might Have Ate because it's so catchy and not like anything they've written before or since.

I can relate strongly to the lyrics to Paper Lanterns , Only of You , Dry Ice and Christie Road

In my opinion the run of tracks 7 to 11 on Kerplunk (One of my Lies, 80, Android, No One Knows then Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?) are the best sequence of 5 songs on any Green Day album! But as for a single song, well I adore the way Billie Joe sings 2000 Light Years Away, and love At the Library and Road to Acceptance for the way they perfectly encapsulate a mood. But if I had to pick one, would have to be Christie Road, just for all it represents to me - boredom, wanting to escape, angst etc., and when I listen to it I think of times in my life when I've listen to it and it's meant so much.
