Dookie
Album details
Artist: Green Day
Year: Recorded 1993, released 1994
Average fodder rating (out of 5): 4
Difficulty: Easy
Assessment of suitability for parodying
Green Day have never been ordinary, but this is about as conventional as they have probably ever been. The songs are short, the stories take place on a small, immediate, personal scale, and it is not a concept album.
The parodies
Long View [Explicit] . . . Bad View
Welcome To Paradise . . . I’ll Come to Paradise
Pulling Teeth . . . Self-Killing Crazy
Basket Case [Explicit] . . . Badness Case
She . . . He
Sassafras Roots . . . Sailing in Brine
When I Come Around . . . When I Sail Around
