Green Day - Best Thing In Town lyrics

[LiLveveHardcore]

This is one of the best things that I ever had  the luck to hear !!

[Brigister]

haaay shit!!

[simpleboy98]

0:12 he says "vas a gritar, vas a llorar" spanish :D

[mlanie1350]

the best thing in town and around is green day

[Geekstinkbreath123]

@whoatethecake Amen

[iamandrewssoul]

Much easier font to read than the Kerplunk cover font used on "One of my Lies."

[XoxshannonluvyaxoX]

Green Day IS the best thing around.

[1224JennyGRL]

"A missing piece..of the puzzles in my mind" is the line ;)

[greendaykicksass1101]

could you do strangeland please

[TheZombiesExist]

God, I love this fucking song. <3

[GDGloading]

Yes, you right! we don't fucking chose when we're born!

[whoatethecake]

@lunajazyra This song is just as good as any other song by Green Day. Green Day are the only band where all their songs are great. If you don't like this song, why the fuck are you listning to it? Its amazing and thats all I need to know

[Mariorox10]

this album is the best thing in town!

[TheJack4real]

You know, if you listen to the lyrics, it sounds like this is his experience getting high o.o

[Uplip]

who gives a fuck? new fan, old fan, new Green Day, old Green Day, punk rock, classic punk, punk opera. American Idiot, Dookie, Nimrod, Kerplunk, 39 smooth... Green Day is Green Day and Fans are Fans. Old or New.

[Geekstinkbreath123]

I say that if you like only "new" Green Day or only "old" Green Day, then your not a true fan of Green Day

(read the top comment)

[LunaJazyra]

This song sucks. Green Day is the best band EVER!!! I love all their songs except this song... :/

[dookie4tw]

@LunaJazyra says a 14 year old girl who only knows American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown...

This song fucking rocks!

[SbibiSbi]

@dookie4tw Your true!This song rocks! :D

[LunaJazyra]

@dookie4tw says a 15* year old girl who have loved green day since she was four years old?

I love all green days song except this. This song sounds... I don't know. It's good. But the song are made of green day and they can do this so much better. .-.

[fatriff]

@LunaJazyra You haven't even got the 1st clue that this song is over 20 years old. And you have a nerve to criticize this song when you listen to Brittney Spears.

[greendaykicksass1101]

@LunaJazyra fuck off if you dont like this song, no need to share your thoughts bitch

[NinjaBunniesRule24]

@LunaJazyra Please answer this one question for me:

Why the hell are you on this video if you dislike the song? >.>

And also, why post? People like you annoy me.

[DeadPantsHL2]

24001th view!

[Acceptable76]

FUCK YEAH Punk - fucking awesome song.

[spangle236161]

@sandstorm9898

"sick and tired of all this wild shit"

[ewd52]

awesome I love the american Idiot album and the new stuff is good but this is classic punk rock. still american Idiot is my fav album

[sandstorm9898]

what does he say in the end?

[moosexsama]

Is it bad that my immediate first thought when I hear the chorus to this song is that scene in spongebob about paper towels?

[MrTech991]

@moosexsama holy fuck I thought I was the only one!

[NinjaBunniesRule24]

@moosexsama It's not bad. It happens to me whenever I hear this song. xD

[PunkZombie1300]

@glimpus their first recording was 1000 Hours and it was when they were 15

[glimpus]

how old were they when they recorded this? if its actually the first song they recorded, they'd be what, 16? pretty damn good for 16, or any age for that matter. most high school bands suck.

[pyroslayer83]

best thing in town? seeing sounds? yea its about drugs

[Stupidboy167]

dude... does it kinda seem like he's talkin bout drugs? like the best drugs in town.. ya know think bout it. lol

[snickeyfenix117]

why is there always a fight? haha xD lol well i dont really wanna get involved but im 13 n i know almost all there songs up 2 their first 1 but their still good n they r a punk band cuz their doing wat they want n dont give a rats ass about wat other ppl think its just my opinnion i dont wanna start a fight though i just wanted 2 speak my mind :P lol

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

You can't expect people to be exactly the same after, what, 20-some years? Were you the same after like 5 years even? I expect not. By the way, don't go telling me what I do and don't understand, as you don't know shit about me. I hate people who go "Oh, everyone likes American Idiot" like there's something wrong with that. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH AMERICAN IDIOT OR 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN. They're just different than, say, Dookie or Insomniac. I like all of Green Day's music.

[IWasThere1039]

My all time favorite :D

[imahappyvirus5]

this song should be the theme song to LSD: Dream Emulator

it'd make a lot more sense than the music on it now.

[stuffy777]

we gotta make some videos with the old music but with new pics maybe will punk wake up again:D

[TreCoolsDominatedLS]

Great video. ive known this song for 3 years and i could never figure out what Billie Joe was singing.

[GaryDPGreenday]

love it <'333

[Dehdif]

I'll send this to boy who I like... If he gets my point, but doesn't feel the same, i'll say "I just showed you a good song, what's your problem!?"

[assassincreedbrohood]

the 1 person is gay



[sofi1996101]

@assassincreedbrohood You're stupid, man.

[sofi1996101]

@assassincreedbrohood Maybe they're dumb for not liking it but you shouldn't use gay as an insult, kay?

[MindyAnnJoers]

@assassincreedbrohood you should check out the definition of "gay" and make sure your using it properly.

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@assassincreedbrohood I have gay friends who love Green Day, so watch how you throw your words around.

[TheJohnny990]

@assassincreedbrohood PEOPLE AREN'T GAY BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE GREEN DAY!!!!!!!! and even if they were, what's wrong with being gay, and what's wrong with having A DIFFERENT OPINION!!!!!!!! u should check ur definition of gay.

[TheJohnny990]

@assassincreedbrohood oh and btw Billie Joe Armstrong is bisexual and wouldn't appreciate you saying shit like that

[thepunkdish]

just out of curiosity but, Do you have an agreement with Green Day or someone like Reprise/Warner Bros. Records. to produce these amazing videos???

[stefandobes85]

my cat is the best thing in town

[Nick91F]

shit the first 2 albums on lookout were the ones i started off with



[7green7joke7]

matori najbolji si prvi Srbin koji stavlja green day pesme gj za to!



[legalizeit727]

Lyric corrections:

"Hearing colors and all I see are sounds"

"A missing piece yeah the puzzles in my mind"

Other than that, pretty good!!!

[rawrieatyourbrains]

the chorus reminds me of the spongebob episode where he buys paper towels and their called best in town or best thing around

[HoldenCaulfield310]

Some of these lyrics are wrong....

[slw9000]

aw FUCK i love this song! <3

[ninamaedci213]

i'd totally tap Billie, JUST SAYIN'

[TheJial1796]

wait a sec are Sweet Children, Best Think in Town, and Strangeland all songs by Green Day or are they covers??? help me out please

[KNOWYOURIDIOT]

@TheJial1796 all green day, the only song on kerplunk that was cover was My Generation

[whatsername1313]

@TheJial1796

Green day was orignally "sweet children" but they changed it due to the song "green day" they are the sweet children....its not a cover..none of the songs you named are covers,..-W

[TheJial1796]

@whatsername1313 i knew their history and stuff i just didn't know about these 3 songs because on the disk it seperates them from the rest with my generation so i was jw. musta been like their demo for the album or somethin i guess

[Deutscheland1470]

people need to stop calling their new stuff crap. i would never have found out about green day had boulevard of broken dreams not gotten me hooked and if it had not compelled me to find out what else they have done. personally, i love insomniac best.

[AnotherMe21]

Respond to this video...

Does anyone know if Billie Joe was a tripper? He talks about "seeing sounds" and "mysteries of the earth" in this song. I don't know if he's just being lyrical or frying his balls off.

[Quferta]

Billie singing, fucking assholes.

[SpoiledBreakfast]

@MartinApayauq1997 Actually, it was the first song they RECORDED, not the first song they wrote. That would be Why Do You Want Him? :P

[ArtFReaK94xx]

Old and new, their music is just amazin :)))

[pleasetellme59]

This was the first song by Green Day, and maybe one of the best- I couldn't stop dancing through the whole song. ^-^

[antisadism]

best band in town.

[Quferta]

Lol, really fantastic song. GD for life.

[PatK640]

Read the lyrics. LSD...

[smittypunker]

you guys know that this is john kiffmeyer playing drums not tre

[smittypunker]

@HazzLovesYou yes tre cool did play with them on kerplunk, however best thing in town, strangeland, sweet children, and my generation are from the sweet children ep, which was recorded long before tre joined. you can tell be the diffent qualities between say this and 2000 light years away, also on wikipedia it even has the listings for the drummers: tre cool tracks 1-12, john kiffmeyer 13-16

[breakprotocol]

@HazzLovesYou this song was recorded before slappy hours.

[pepsixenix]

yay no dislikes

[ddiamondd]

nice video. but i think its hearing colors, not eerie colors.

[chibirobo009]

dude! you have the best lyric vids they're awesome

[8Haushinka8]

I really love this song, is awesome!!! the old Green day is the best of the best!!! but the new is great too. I really love Green day with all my heart!!!

[jesseashly]

can u do The Grouch?

[kickenwing30]

lol, after always thinking this song was about a really preppy girl that everyone tries to get in school....I've come to conclude that its probably another song about pot

[MyFavouriteFace]

one of my favourite Songs♥

[noobzorxz]

Look at the views on this video. It's a huge fail that, prolly the most, nowadays Green Day fans only know their new stuff from American Idiot and up - There is SO more to Green Day than that o.O

[greenday2themax]

@noobzorxz i know green day stuff old and new. Even though I am a teen, I don't hate their old stuff. I love actually. Not that I have AI or 21CB, I still love them.

Green Day forever!

[greendayfreak1324]

@noobzorxz i agree people dont listen to thier old stuff anymore just new. but either way all thier songs are amazing (:

[mest4ever]

@noobzorxz I agree:)

[BensHerpingChannel]

@noobzorxz This isn't Billie is it who's singing?

[SGE4LIFE96]

@BensHerpingChannel

of course its him, who else?

[BensHerpingChannel]

@SGE4LIFE96 Their new style is a bit different.

[MasterMarf]

@noobzorxz

beste greenday was before 94-95 :D

[321StardustMusic]

@noobzorxz

thankfully not true. I know quite a few major Green Day fans [as well as myself] who are involved in everything, from the first song Billie ever wrote [why do you want him] to the new stuff the boys are working out in the studio as we speak.

Green Day is, has been and always will be the greatest band on earth.

And even though Tre wasn't in those early moments, he's still as much a part of GD as Mike or Billie (: <3

[olwhatsernameJoe]

@noobzorxz I know. And it pisses me off. Cuz when you think you met someone cool who likes Green Day and you mention like Kerplunk or even Warning their like...what?!

[hutch356]

@olwhatsernameJoe Not me bro!!!!!

[manateegirl1]

@noobzorxz That's why I'm creating a playlist with all the Green day songs on it, starting with the old ones.

[Dirtyyellowboi]

@noobzorxz ik but i like BOTH american idiot and all their stuff from the 90's too i mean bands can change all the time

[fuckamericanidiot]

@noobzorxz to be fair this is about as obscure as green day gets

[JPPraterCO08]

@noobzorxz Yeah, trendy kids and shit... I listened to Green Day when I was a kid, and that was around the 'warning' days before they totally sold out.

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@JPPraterCO08 They didn't sell out!! Yeah I love Green Day haha(:

[JPPraterCO08]

@ahahaGreenDaymusic ...yes they did.

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@JPPraterCO08 um no......they didn't.

[JPPraterCO08]

@ahahaGreenDaymusic Yeah, they did. Sorry, kid.

[JPPraterCO08]

@ahahaGreenDaymusic I'm assuming you're around 13 or 14, so you wouldn't really understand it because they sold out to appeal more to you trendy kids more than anything else. Their half-wit political commentary appeals only to people who don't know anything about politics outside of Today Show and makes you kids feel rebellious, and Billie Joe and his goddamn eyeliner is nothing more than a ploy to make thirteen year old kids spend their allowance money on posters and whatnot. They suck now.

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@JPPraterCO08 Why do stupid pricks like you always assume that anyone with an opinion is 13? I am not 13, for your information, and there is nothing wrong with 13 year olds anyway. Just because maybe you don't like thier newer music doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. Also, I am not a "trendy kid", and there's nothing wrong with Billie Joe's eyeliner. It isn't a "ploy" to make kids spend thier allowance on them, it's just what he wants to do. They don't suck, they're just DIFFERENT. Yo

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@JPPraterCO08 You can't expect people to be exactly the same after, what, 20-some years? Were you the same after like 5 years even? I expect not. By the way, don't go telling me what I do and don't understand, as you don't know shit about me. I hate people who go "Oh, everyone likes American Idiot" like there's something wrong with that. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH AMERICAN IDIOT OR 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN. They're just different than, say, Dookie or Insomniac. I like all of Green Day's music.

[ljc9509]

@ahahaGreenDaymusic Very well said. I'll bet my life's savings on the fact that in the last twenty years, if he's been alive that long, his music taste or his idea of what makes a good song or his interests or his personality or everything about him has changed one hell of a lot. It's no surprise a lot of bands change their style slightly, it's a new perspective on their music and I love it. It's also no surprise bands split up, we should be happy GD haven't done that after all these years!! :D

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@ljc9509 Ahaha thanks. Yeah sometimes things just irk me and *boom* i explode at people. I don't know what I'd do if Green Day split up!! I love how he says "They sold out to appeal more to kids like you" and it's like don't you realize that I'm listening to Best Thing In Town, which certainly isn't new?

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@ljc9509 And I like how he keeps calling me 'kid', even though he has no way of knowing how old I am.

[ljc9509]

@ahahaGreenDaymusic Hahaha I know, he's one of those assholes that can't handle the fact that Green Day are now a popular band and he likes a mainstream band and hates people who weren't in Gilman Street etc. The kind of guy I hate.

[skullzandbows]

@ljc9509 ya i think you have to like a band through and through otherwise your not a real fan i mean sure sometimes there are periods that they go through that you may not like but there's always at least one good song in there ;)

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@ljc9509 Mhm. Tehe and he hasn't responded because he totally knows I'm write and doesn't want to look like even more of a moron.

[33miyaz]

@noobzorxz if they only know american idiot, they arent real fans. im new, but i listen to all their music so i think i can call myself a fan, but back wen all i knew was good riddance and boulavard of broken dreams and 21 guns, i couldnt

[MrHatenoobs]

@noobzorxz sorry i think the most green day fans know old songs to... my opinion...

[123GreenDayChick456]

allll your vid's are awesome:).

my favourite on youtube so far;D.

[MiichelleLovesMusiic]
