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

I was auditioning for a play, standing outside the studio door, nervously going over my lines. I suddenly heard Wake Me Up playing in another room and a bunch of people singing along to it. I started singing along myself and went into the audition laughing to myself. Got the lead role. :happy:

Congrats! Green Day definitely has a way of calming nerves.

I went for a haircut today and Know Your Enemy was playing on the radio, afterwards the dj said how nice it was to hear it again and talked about the American Idiot musical coming to the UK. He then played Gangnam Style haha

Good Riddance on repeat at my brother's elementary school graduation. It was playing to a bunch of photos on a huge projector in the school gymnasium. That was before I even bought one of their songs.

I was on my way to my girlfriends house and the song that came on the radio was When It's Time, which i never heard on the radio before. And on the way back home I changed the channel and Time Of Your Life came on with the radio version of Kill the DJ right after it. :happy:

hearing Good Riddance at a graduation sounds like the most normal thing to happen to a green day fan :D

Yeah true :D

At the time I think I was actually kinda annoyed with it playing over and over again. It's weird because now that I am a huge green day fan, I can remember almost every time I first heard a new green day song. I guess in the back of my mind I was always on the fence wanting to hear if the next thing was that much better. American Idiot and seeing some live performances really put me over the top. I can even remember hearing a song from Dookie for the first time in the 90's at a friend's house. First time I remember hearing a punk type song. Wasn't sure what to think of it at the time lol. Even hearing the Austin powers theme song on shenanigans all these years later, I can remember a conversation my brother and dad had about first finding out it was green day that did the song when the movie came out. I think they both were surprised that it was pretty good haha.

I've heard last of the american girls at Kohl's a couple times and it always surprises me to hear it.

Also, there is one radio station I barely listen to in the car but whenever I change to it there seems to be a Green Day song on which is great. And a couple weeks ago driving home from a hockey game there were 2 songs played in a row but I finally got to hear Oh Love on the radio. Luckily my friend left the station on cuz I was like ooo green day.

Lol, same. My sister controls the radio but if I ever use it I always end up hearing Green Day or blink

Yesterday when I walked into work I heard their cover of Working Class Hero which Ive only heard in the radio once before and when I left Basket Case came on

Yep! I used it at my graduation presentation. :D Someone else wanted it too, but she couldn't take it because I choose before her. I was so happy to have it, because I was the Green Day fan between her and I...

But I heard a Jesus of Suburbia in a store and I was surprised because it's a long song...

I'm in Canada at the moment and I heard Waiting on the radio. It's quite strange really, because where I usually am I'm lucky to get something other than pop or rap.

Yesterday for the 4th time they played WMUWSE at my work (Kroger, a grocery store chain in the midwest). My bitch of a superviser who hates me says Billie Joe is a freak after seeing the AI tour in Indianapolis (last time they were here :dry: ) and says Billie's a freak. She didn't deserve to go to that.

My old job occasionally would have BOBD one of my friends that works there and i were the only ones who would get excited about it.
