I know this has nothing to do with Jake but I love Macy's Day Parade Barb! That's one of my favorite Green Day's... do you have their International Superhits?
Yes, I do. I listened to part of it on my way into work, as a matter of fact. I usually do this sequence: Basket Case, Brain Stew, Hitchin' A Ride, Minority, Warning, Macy's Day Parade.
As far as sheer audacity/beauty of lyrics go, Hitchin' a Ride contains probably the most quotable lines of any of their songs - I've used quite a few of them as signatures over the last several months.
Hitchin' a RideHey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
Need a lift to happy hour.
(He says "Oh, no.")
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well -
The well that inebriates the guilt.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Cold turkey's getting stale - tonight I'm eating crow.
Fermented salmonella poison oak, no.
There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and I'm dehydrated.
My tongue is swelling up, I say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Troubled times, you know I cannot lie.
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride.
