Green Day

Green Day is a popular American punk rock trio. They first became successful with the release of their album "Dookie" in 1994. Their 2005 album, "American Idiot" was also a major success. Some hits Green Day have had include "American Idiot", "Basket Case", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "Know Your Enemy" and "Holiday".

History
They were playing at a concert on a barge floating in Lake Springfield. Green Day was playing their own version of The Simpsons theme. When they were done, they were tired of playing so long so they began to talk about the environment. Everybody was upset and started throwing litter at them. Most of the litter missed them and polluted the lake, causing the barge to dissolve and sink. While they play (on violins) "Nearer My God To Thee" for the last time, (a reference to to Titanic), killing them. At their funerals, in Springfield, the organist plays American Idiot (Funeral Version).

Behind the laughter
Green Day requested to be guest stars on The Simpsons Movie. The band recorded a rock version of The Simpsons Theme, which plays in the beginning of the movie and during the end credits.
