X-Kid-X Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) American Idiot was played in my elementary school once. I didn't know about Green Day though lol. Edited December 30, 2012 by X-Kid-X Quote
Lyz Z Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Egypt, during the riots last year. It came on the radio when my family and I were in a taxi. We all just stared at each other like "...is this really playing...here?" Quote
Rabby Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 An Indonesian TV station always play Poprocks and Coke and American Idiot for their shows. Even culinary show. Quote
musso_kn Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Egypt, during the riots last year. It came on the radio when my family and I were in a taxi. We all just stared at each other like "...is this really playing...here?" Which song was it? If it was something like Minority, Know Your Enemy or Holiday, then it would certainly suit the revolutionary climate in Egypt at the time. Quote
Mr. Shluffy Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Within a span of 5 days I heard "Sweet 16" and "The Pedestrian" at two different Buffalo Wild Wings locations. The fact that I heard a Green Day song at BDubs isn't that strange, its the fact that I heard such deep album cuts within such a short time Quote

xXRustyJamesXx Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 there is no weird place to play a green day song 1 Quote
Psycho Britney Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Think I heard an instrumental version of Troublemaker, advertising a new game show on BBC1 earlier! Quote
Kerplunk!!! Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 A few months ago i was down a local pub and kept thinking am i going mad or can i hear Welcome to paradise? Turns out it was coming from a fuzzy radio in the pubs kitchen. This is weird cos Green Day never get played on commercial radio in England anymore and the odd time they do it is always a song from AI or onwards. Quote
Tabeeb Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I've only heard one song either than Good Riddance outside of my house. The only one I've ever heard was "Holiday" and that was at a figure-skating dome for a class field trip. The thing that sucked was that I had just decided to take a break from skating when that came on... Quote
Metea Fame.86 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 A show showing famous people who where fat and lost weight they were playing American Idiot Quote
The Forgotten Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 My french school's morning announcements sometimes uses the instrumental track of Holiday Quote

FatVince Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Many years ago, I heard Letterbomb & Whatsername in a French football/soccer TV show. Quote
Rock_N_Roll_Girlfriend Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I think the weirdest place I've heard a Green Day song would be at the most famous Athens street where a tourist who had been mugged before was singing or better screaming at the top of his not-nice voice, Basket Case, so he could raise money to spend the night at a motel. So, I got close to him, asked him why he was butchering one of my favorite songs and that's how I learned his story.. Strange thing is that I had some money then, and I told him: "alright, I'll give you 20 euros to stop singing." and he said: "thank you! but, can I sing another song in case anybody else gives me money?" and I was like: "yeah, sure! I know some people down the street who are huge AC/DC fans. just start singing Highway To Hell and you'll be at a motel in less than hour!" (I know it sounds kind of bad of me but it wasn't!) I don't know what happened after I told the AC/DC fans to go listen to him, but I hope for the best.. 1 Quote
may10 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Mine was in school too?only in a classroom slide show and it was also good riddance I remember my 7th grade teacher had hoped he got the clean version but as soon as he heard the "fuck" he's like "oh gosh ignore that kids!" Quote
X-Kid-X Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Apparently the promo to The Voice Israel has Dirty Rotten Bastards in it!!!! Haven't seen it yet but I've heard so from a few sources... Quote
Ham Pascale Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I heard american idiot cast version of BOBD(or Holiday) in a shampoo commercial Quote
Mariane Meneses Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 There's a really stupid comedy show at my country called "Pânico na TV" and they went to the beach to show some girls asses.. So while they were showing that, Nuclear Family started playing The next day I was watching a sport's programme and Welcome To Paradise started playing while they were showing cyclists. And I also heard WMUWSE at a drugstore when I was in NY and Holiday at a restaurant. Oh, and last year I went to my friend's dance presentation and one of the dance groups performed American Idiot (the version by the American Idiot Broadway cast). I applauded them so much Quote
Nishant1039 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 i was rapidly switching channels on tv and a very familiar tune forced me to stop. they were playing 2000 light years away on fashion tv! Quote
Unholy Sister of Grace Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Once we watched a video about HIV/AIDS in my senior year and at one point Good Riddance played on the video. I was excited/confused o.O Quote
That Punk Kid. Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Probably hearing Letterbomb at the start of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, a kids' movie. Quote
