Fair Use Video: This is exactly what the title claims it to be – a dance remix of “Boulevard of Broken Songs”. Essentially a sped-up version of the mash with a hyper drum beat, I’m sure this is great club … Continue reading
Fair Use Video: “Whatsername (Susanna Hoffs)” is a straight up mash of “Manic Monday” by The Bangles (led by Susanna Hoffs) and “Whatsername” by Green Day. I suppose that Dean Gray is using “Manic Monday” to answer the question posed … Continue reading
Fair Use Video: “Greenday Massacre” is brutal. It takes the music from “Lyin’ Eyes” by The Eagles and sets the words from Green Day’s “Wake Me Up When September Ends” to it. Ouch. And it works. Double ouch. The comment … Continue reading

Fair Use Video: Combining elements of one of my favorite U2 songs (“Bad” as well as “Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own”) and a pair fine Green Day ballad (“Homecoming” and “Are We The Waiting”), this track is … Continue reading
Fair Use video: “Boulevard of Broken Songs” received quite a bit of airplay around the same time that Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” was getting airplay. It features samples from Oasis (“Wonderwall”), Travis (“Writing To Reach You”), and Eminem … Continue reading
Must-Be-A-Fan Video: I will leave it to our resident Dr. Who expert to identify which season’s Dr. Who theme we’re listening to here. “Dr. Who On Holiday” mashes up Green Day’s “Holiday” with The Timelord’s notorious “Doctorin’ The Tardis,” itself … Continue reading
