Weirdest place you've heard a green day song being played?

I was flipping through the channels and I went past HBO and this children's movie called "Surf's up" was on. Its an animated movie about a penguin that wants to know how to surf so he goes to Hawaii (I think) but when the penguin gets there they show a bunch of penguins surfing and Welcome to Paradise came on. That song is the only reason why I watched the movie :happy:

Well I never got to actually HEAR the song, but I work in high school and we had a music lesson today and Wake Me Up When September Ends was in the textbook! That was a bit weird. Think I'll make the kids sing it on our next lesson. :D

this^ :lol:

my dad hates green day coz he think's their music's too simple but one day we were in his friend's (also total anti-green day) car and his mate just says:

"I found this really great band! Listen to this!"

and he sticks it in the CD player...

... and Stop Drop and Roll came on.

It took every ounce of self restraint i had to not laugh... even when my Dad suggested they sounded late bealtes... :lol:

Haha, that is great!

That happened to me!

gasped and yelled, "Church on Sunday!!!"

Then my friend looked and me and was like,

"Um...okay. What? Did you remember that you have to

go to church on Sunday?" :blink:

I didn't even bother to explain...

21 Guns was on the radio in someone's kitchen in Emmerdale. :P

They actually play quite good music in Emmerdale, I've heard Kaiser Cheifs, The Feeling, Biffy Clyro in yesterday's episode and 30STM tonight :lol: (yes I'm sad)

A few friends and I went to a strip club for my friends 18th birthday and they were playing Know Your Enemy....which, in that context, is kinda weird...

It wasn't that weird for me but my dad is kind of anti-Green Day (even though he doesn't have much of a reason for it really). And he has this radiostation he always listens to. He always says to me like "They'd never play a Green Day song on a station like this", and goes on and on about them not being good or big enough of a band (yeah, he's weird).

Then the other day they played 21 Guns on "his" radiostation. Hah! :P

And no, it's not weird for a radiostation to play a Green Day song, but he obviously thought it was for that particular station.

I once heard Basket Case in a pizza place. I screamed "GREEN DAY!" No one was in there but me and my dad and I refused to leave until it was over.

My spanish teacher last semester is also my socials teacher this semester. On our last spanish project we had to write diary entries on what we did on a made up vacation and who we went with. My best friend decided to humor me and took Billie and Tre with her on her 'trip'. Needless to say the diary is hilarious to read, but we managed to make our techer think we were insane.

So now for the reference, I was in socials and my teacher was talking about the stereotypes that Canadians have to deal with. After a few clips of 'talking to americans' from the rick mercer report she announced to the class: Because I know -enter my name here- really likes Green Day, and that's putting it lightly, I'm going to play this song. She ended up playing Wierd Al's spoof on American Idiot = Canadian Idiot :P

I don't know anyone else in the school that likes Green Day a lot, so I heard some people muttering behind me, but I didn't care, I was too busy playing the air drums :lol:

In currently in Indonesia, and a few days ago, I was on this totally random domestic flight. And when the plane landed and stopped, WMUWSE started playing in the plane. Not only was it the first time I heard actual music playing in a plane, but Green Day in the middle of nowhere in Indonesia? Awesome. ;)

I was sitting at the desk waiting for the guy to analyse some figures, and then 21 guns came on and i went all "OMG GREEN DAY!!" and started singing a long and i was all "This car is gonna be a Green Day fan!!', even though it hasn't been made yet....

Well I haven't really heard a song but my new English textbook contains the lyrics for "I wanna be on TV" (our current topic is "the mass media"). It's weird to see a Green Day song in a schoolbook, especially one that is quite unknown. The acknowledgements actually say "text by BillY Joe Armstrong" although it's a cover of a song by Fang.

EDIT: I just realized that there's a GD References thread. I'm stupid, sorry.
