Line 17:
** Especially seeing as, during a recent concert, Billie sang "So go do what you like/I'm having sex with Mike." And a picture from a very recent Canada show where Tre is on his knees in front of Billie Joe, who has a mic between his legs. Oh, and an old video of Tre and Billie randomly kissing (while shirtless) in the middle of a set.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd9KHDV-pzU&NR=1 "I have a very sneaky suspicion that something very bizarre is about to happen..."]
* [[ItsIt's Popular, Now It Sucks]]: ''Dookie'' led to screams of "sellout" that persist to this day.
** Again with ''American Idiot''. [[Sarcasm Mode|How dare they gain a new generation of fans?!]]
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: "Good Riddance," which Billie Joe wrote to express bitterness at his girlfriend for breaking up with him before going abroad, is exceptionally popular at weddings, Bat Mitzvahs, graduation ceremonies, and other events that involve slow dancing. Though to be fair, the lyrics aren't ''that'' bitter.
Line 24:
* [[Sequel Displacement]]: The only pre-''Dookie'' song most people know is "[[Older Than They Think|Welcome to Paradise]]" (which ''is'' on that album, but was originally in the predecessor ''Kerplunk'').
* [[Squick]]: They originally planned to name their first major-label album ''Liquid Dookie'', inspired by eating spoiled food whilst on tour and catching diarrhea. The execs shot down the idea, settling for just ''Dookie'' instead.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]: Subverted twice; once in "Longview," where Mike's [[Epic Riff|epic bassline]] actually was made under the influence of LSD. And it was surprisingly catchy.
** And then Billie got high for the music video of "Brain Stew/Jaded" to get the right feel of the song. How did they get him to sing/lip-sync on drugs?
