i got the cd! it was so badassery...my grandma seen the news report while i was watching mtv which i was like 13 or 14 and she was like "didnt i buy you that cd?" and i was like "yeah its not that bad if i had a 6 year old they'd be listening to it!" lol and in turn i did that with my nephew...hes 5 and a HUGE green day fan! lol
in response to the people talking about the letter it was dookie. and it happened a few times because of ernie being on the back of the cd.. each time i think it was a grandma buying it for thier grandkid... now my grandma DID BUY ME DOOKIE FOR XMAS! i was tired of borrowing the tape from friends...
i think, i think, that the like button needs to be bigger cuz 4 people missed it. well its either that or those 4 people are fucked up cuz greenday is the most fuckin awesome band thats ever lived if u dissagree then why the hell did u even listen to this song? yeah, just sayin!
in a short time this song become one of my favorites with having a blast ... jackass, fashion victim.. and a lot of others...BUT i am gonna say that the new album have some good songs...like peacemarker and others... american idiot is brilliant thestory behind the songs the emotion .. is more art than music...warning have amazing songs and they looks awesome.. waiting.. blood sex and booze fashion victim i alrready said....then come the old songs...nothing to say ... all of them awesome!
i turned it up a few times so i could hear the song in the kitchen while i got somthin and as i walked out i swear i heard the sound that goes off when u turn up the volume... guess my computer likes this song to lol XD
I feel like Billie, because there's this girl who is acting just like the lady who sent the reject letter. I sent the douchebag this song.. she's gonna get owned
im confused.. the lady that sent a complaint letter said she was uninpresed by the laguage and the only ''BAD WORDS'' i heard was shut up and hell... :I
my fav line: " The difference between you and me, I do what I want, You do what ur told." god i love it!!!! You totally owned that stupid lady Billie!!
@TheEric1203 some lady's kid got the dookie album for his birthday and he started saying bad words and so his mom got mad and sent a complaint letter to billie joe
@metalheadofrock oh. yeah haha i found the video showing it with billie's response letter. I think it was Nimrod tho, wasnt it? But either way.... Billie fuckin bashed her good lol. "See, that's the difference between you and me. I do what I want.... and you do what you're told!"
@Fallofthehateful17 oh. i see its not Nimrod now, but it seems like it was Insomniac because the mother mentions that she likes When I Come Around... whatever tho
if you wanna read both of the letters, which you really should cause its awesome, google "letters of note: I write for myself and il say anything i damn well please"
@duckling109876 Wow I'm amazed at your ignorance. Consider the bands Underoath and Dance Gavin Dance. Their line-ups 5-10 years ago were completely different. Underoath has only one founding member left and recently left the band, while DGD has none. So this means they have always been "the same" band? Green Day's music HAS changed. They even have an extra guitarist lol. Nevertheless, they live on.
There is no "Old" or "New" Green Day. Green Day was always the same band, and will always be the band, saying that there is an "Old Green Day", and that it's better than the "New Green Day" is like saying that you expect something to ever change. Dumb assholes
i got busted because my mom was talking to me and i was listenin to this song at the same time and when i sang "shut the hell up" she pulled my NEW earplugs and broke them then she said what the fuck did you say i looked at her and said it was the lyric in the song you frickin idiot i showed her then she got me super nice "black skullcandy earplugs and said srry hahahah
@MzDark some say so, i think its true. in wikipedia, it says The name has two different theories on how it was made, one being a mix of two suggestions, "The Rejects" and "The All Americans". The other being that it came from a song "Reject" by Green Day, with the chorus, "a reject, all american".
ON FEBRUARY THE SEVENTEENTH IT'S BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG'S BIRTHDAY,AND WE WILL ALL WATCH THE 21 GUNS VIDEO AND GIVE IT THUMBS UP. LET THAT BE A LITTLE BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO BILLIE JOE FROM THE FANS.
WE LOVE GREEN DAY,RIGHT? ♥
COPY & PASTE ON OTHER GREEN DAY VIDEOS AND THUMB THIS UP SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT
That lady that sent that letter to Billie is a bitch! Green Day isn't made for 8 year olds, well the ones that cuss aren't. So that bitch shouldn't be mad at Billie for making awesome music!!!
one of the best sogs on the album.... and probably the most underrated. it's kinda gay that it's so hard for a song to be rightfully apreciated without being a single.
This song was written towards that one woman who sent a complaint letter to greenday, about the words they were using. She got told offffffffffffff :D
This song is actually about an incident where an 8 year olds grandma gave him Insomniac and then he started singing the lyrics with all their explicitness in front of his mom. His mom wrote a letter to Billie and he actually wrote back. So the lyrics probably express what he wrote to her!
@hayjude99 thats true but what you don't know is that he got the lyrics from the letter he wrote back, I do what i want you do what your told" was in the letter
@Joypadjunkginger yes I know that. Look at my post again where I say that billie actually wrote back. And yes I have seen the latter and I know those lyrics come from it.
@SKsarakristine It was an 8 year old boy's mom whom wrote Green Day the note after his grandma bought the CD for his birthday and it inspired him to write this song. He even uses a few phrases used in his response letter XD
@SKsarakristine well no, actually it was a grandma who bought a Dookie cd for her granddaughter and then she got angry because of the explicit lyrics. it couldn't be nimrod if this song is in nimrod.
@Brigister well no, actually it was the grandma who bought Insomniac. At the top of the letter from the "irate mom" it reads RE: Insomniac. That is all.
@mudslicker1 greendayauthority . com /images/billiejoe_letter . gif (delete the spaces) Check this out, it's the official letter. It doesn't say Nimrod, nor Insomniac, nor Dookie. But the woman talks about When I Come Around so I supposed the grandma bought Dookie. That is all.
@Brigister You're looking at the "cropped" version. Check out this URL and you will see the top of the letter where she writes to their address in Berserkely which includes the date and to the right it reads RE: Insomnia.
@mudslicker1 It says "Page not found" :/ anyways, I found another "uncropped" version on Google Image, so I saw that you were right. Sorry I didn't know it, thanks for correcting me ;)
@Brigister Sorry bout the URL....not too good with all the delete-the-spaces-blah-blah-blah. But hehe...really....when you think about it....Insomniac would be the album [er, um...tape] to make mommy want to medicate. And I wasn't trying to correct you, just passing along a bit more information so we can all get on board and get it straight. Peace.
@Brigister well no, actually it was the grandma who bought Insomniac. At the top of the letter from the "irate mom" it reads RE: Insomniac. That is all.
@BoredLikeHell1000 That had happen to me too.I said to a classmate of mine to shut up and she start talking to me about human rights about expressing their opinions and democracy and stuff.
@BoredLikeHell1000 Yeah that had happened to me once.I told my friend to shut up and this classmate of mine start telling me about human rights to express their opinion and about democracy and stuff.
@AliceFantasies Well I just just checked and if you search(on youtube) the name exactly, it comes up. It's called "Green Day - Reject COMPLAINT LETTER!!"
I Just Read "Reject" came from an incident where a boy received Green Day's previous album, Insomniac, for his eighth birthday from his grandma. The boy started singing Green Day's songs (with explicit lyrics), and his mother got angry and wrote a complaint letter to Armstrong; Armstrong wrote an actual letter back to her, and this song was based on his response.
@jojijojo123 the song is about the mother of a kid who got Insomniac and (the kid) was singing out loud "explicit content", so the mother got angry and wrote a letter to Billie Joe, who actually answered, and the songs kinda how he answered her.
@jojijojo123 i think it was a letter a "concerned" parent wrote to Green day about her 60 yr old mom bought a green day tape for an 8 year old and she is mad at greenday?
@jojijojo123 A lady that wrote him an angry letter, to which he replied and wrote this song about. I'm sure I'm the 13th person to tell you this though.
@jojijojo123 lol, this song is written because some bitch complained to green day about their swearing and how her son started singing them. billie joe wrote a letter back to her, and later wrote this song. yes, she did get told!
@jojijojo123 that song was for a lady who wrote a complaint letter to billie joe telling him that her son had been listening to a song on insomniac with inappropriate lyrics..so billie wrote this for her
@ThePOLARBEAR721 nonono it was to the kids mom, the grandma bought the record for the kid, and the kids mom heard some of the songs and she was shocked, and she wrote the letter, then she got told off by billie joe :D XD
@jojijojo123 it was written for a mom who sent a letter to BJ and green day saying that she wished they would swear less cuz her 8 yr old son listened to them and BJ wrote back and pretty much said fuck you
@jojijojo123 "Reject" came from an incident where a boy received Green Day's previous album, Insomniac, for his eighth birthday from his grandma. The boy started singing Green Day's songs (with explicit lyrics), and his mother got angry and wrote a complaint letter to Armstrong; Armstrong wrote an actual letter back to her, and this song was based on his response.

I Just Read "Reject" came from an incident where a boy received Green Day's previous album, Insomniac, for his eighth birthday from his grandma. The boy started singing Green Day's songs (with explicit lyrics), and his mother got angry and wrote a complaint letter to Armstrong; Armstrong wrote an actual letter back to her, and this song was based on his response.

Lol, nice xD
It amazes me how Green Day just wrote about pretty much whatever they wanted.

@jojijojo123 the song is about the mother of a kid who got Insomniac and (the kid) was singing out loud "explicit content", so the mother got angry and wrote a letter to Billie Joe, who actually answered, and the songs kinda how he answered her.

@jojijojo123 i think it was a letter a "concerned" parent wrote to Green day about her 60 yr old mom bought a green day tape for an 8 year old and she is mad at greenday?

@jojijojo123 A lady that wrote him an angry letter, to which he replied and wrote this song about. I'm sure I'm the 13th person to tell you this though.

@jojijojo123 lol, this song is written because some bitch complained to green day about their swearing and how her son started singing them. billie joe wrote a letter back to her, and later wrote this song. yes, she did get told!

@jojijojo123 that song was for a lady who wrote a complaint letter to billie joe telling him that her son had been listening to a song on insomniac with inappropriate lyrics..so billie wrote this for her

@jojijojo123 it was written for a mom who sent a letter to BJ and green day saying that she wished they would swear less cuz her 8 yr old son listened to them and BJ wrote back and pretty much said fuck you
