There's a British campaign to make Green Day's 'American Idiot' the No. 1 song when Trump arrives

I'm sure Green Day would fly there and perform that song if they were able to, they'd be more than happy to do so.
I was 22 when the song came out. For some reason I thought it was older than 2004.
They want people to laugh and get pumped up to boo, not fall asleep. :p
"American Idiot" seems a little bit more forward with it's messaging.
Good stuff.
Hopefully we get it to No1 this time, as it still bums me out we didn't get "Ding dong the witch is dead" to the top spot after Thatcher croaked.

The British' obsession with Trump is pathetic. They have hundreds of more important things at home to protest against, which they happily ignore to march against a foreign leader. Puzzling.
One of my favorites of all time. I must have listened to this album 200 times from start to finish.
Nah, we've got a ton of shit going on, but we're still within our rights to protest against a colossal cunt such as Trump.
What he said about Princess Diana shortly after her death pissed off alot of people here.
Bud, the entire WORLD is making fun of Trump. The only people "obsessed" with him are his Fox News supporters and the #Resist crowd, though for different reasons obviously.
Well, the context of its use is a bit important.
Billie Joe is bisexual and, in that song, was used as a way to mock toxic masculinity -- those who refer to someone with words such as "faggot" for being against war.
Oh okay, that clears a bunch of stuff up. I'm glad it wasn't just thrown around for no reason.
Yep. I know there are people who still believe Dookie is their best album -- and that's totally fine -- but it's American Idiot for me. One of the best rock albums of the 2000s.
WTF are you talking about?
We don't want him to come here, and he's the one who is tweeting about Britain and London, unprompted. He is far more obsessed with us. No one gives a shit about him here other than racists.
The only thing pathetic is nonsense responses like this.
As a bisexual teen in those shitty times, I remember finding out he was bi was and open about it was like getting a hug.
Love this album to bits
You're puzzled that people don't like Trump?
You not been keeping up with the news or something?
The British attempting to push a 3 minute pop song to the top of the charts as a protest against the American president hardly seems like something to fret over.
The Trump Baby balloon makes sense because it's an obvious visual reference to Trump, but the American Idiot thing seems like a waste; basically for Trump or any of his followers to recognize it, someone will have to explain it slowly to them. "Pssst, it's about you!"
I love you. I knew you were cool.
That song always stood out to me, too.
Takes me back to my teenage snowboarding days.
Good old times.
Back when we thought an illegitimate war was already as bad as it gets. Simpler times... more innocent times...
