jengd Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Ok, it’s better but I think ruined forever by Wham. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Maybe we get Whammed harder in the UK. I'd probably like that Jimmy Eat World cover if I'd never heard the Wham version, but I've worked at a supermarket at Christmas and that tells you all you need to know about my relationship with Wham. Xmas TIme of the Year is perfectly OK, but I might punch something if I heard it over and over, every year. I used to like All I Want for Christmas but yeah, retail at Christmas. I do like these versions of Green Day songs though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Listening to Alkaline Trio tonight and just made a Green Day connection. "This Could Be Love" mentions the Berkley Marina, the same one that Billie Joe mentions in "the ballad of wilhelm fink". There it is. Definitive proof that Matt Skiba is Mongo Fink, and Billie Joe is his older brother, Wilhelm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came up as my most played song and I know it was because when I came out I had it on repeat for over an hour (yeah, I liked it 😊) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Lyrically, what is the happiest Green Day album overall? I'm thinking Warning, but what do you guys think? Rev Rad is bleak. Take out Bouncing off the Individual Wall and However-Old-Adrienne-is-Blood and it's an abyss of sadness and despair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of See the Light, every song is just really dark in one way or another I'd agree with you that Warning is the happiest album. It's their most optimistic album for sure 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She-Loves-Him Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The anecdote from the gal on Jeopardy tonight was about how she met Green Day when she was a baby. Apparently all she did was stare at Tre’s green hair, hah. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 So I know I'm late and xmas is over....but I cannot believe how the classic Wham song Last Christmas is getting slammed! I thought it was a cherished classic! I absolutely love that song (the Jimmy Eat World version is good too!). For some reason it gives me warm fuzzy feelings whenever I hear it. It's one of the few xmas songs that perfectly captures the season for me (along with Eurythmics version of Winter Wonderland). If there's one xmas song that I like but can no longer stand it's definitely All I Want for Christmas is You...unless it's the MCR version.

That's the issue I've run into several times with these Heardle offshoots hosted on glitch-me. They all just stop working. I used to do a metal one that stopped working. The NIN one also doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NIN one also doesn't work. I think the biggest problem with it is that living in the Uk and it being such a huge hit, we hear it so often it’s got to be really horrible for people. I was never a Wham fan nor liked the song so however many years on, to still be hearing it so much is just grating. It’s everywhere all the time round Christmas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted January 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2023 Working in retail will make you hate any Christmas song of any genre. There are only so many times you can tolerate the same five songs on repeat while customers threaten to report you to the CEO because the last lemon cheesecake is damaged. I can't even listen to the original You Get What You Give anymore because of the Sainsbury's version (in case you want to suffer, this is what I'm on about). At least they've retired that so I'll (probably?) forget about it eventually... but there is no forgetting Wham. Or Slade. Or Mariah Carey. Then again, they're all bearable compared to that Sainsbury's cover and that's in my head now. HELP. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, maybe Warning, possibly FOAM? Since 39/Smooth in 1990 up to Warning as well as a new awesome sound to fry your brain, you could relate to Billie Joe's lyrics which where dark and sometimes depressing. Coz that was happening to you. Pissed off, living in slums, no work, no money, and a government who didn't give a fuckin shit. Songs about life, which was shit, about you coz your shit. And the happier moments with songs about girls, who were not shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
