The #1 most annoying song of the summer: "Do You Know Your Enemy?" by Green Day
I know I'm going to take a lot of heat for targeting Green Day (since apparently they're God split into three guys with musical instruments), but their song "Do you know your enemy?" is by far the most uninspired, over hyped, overplayed piece of flaming dog turd of a song I've ever heard. For anyone who hasn't been around the radio for the past three months or anyone whose ears were gnawed off by rabid squirrels, let me describe the song for you. It goes like this...
"Do you know your enemy?"
"Do you know your enemy?"
"Do you know your enemy?"
"Do you know your enemy?"
"Do you know your enemy?"
"Do you know your enemy?"
"Do you know your enemy?"
"Do you know your enemy?"
"Do you know your enemy?" x 26
It says that shit 26 times in a row - 26 fucking times - to start the song. By then you're so fucking bored and pissed off, you can't pay attention long enough to learn if there are any other words besides the title of the song in the damn song.
This song represents everything that is wrong with popular music today. Everyone walked around beating off to "American Idiot" in 2004 because Green Day took shots at George Bush. Wow...taking shots at Bush...how original and PUNK ROCK! Now, since all the critics love them, they could literally record an album of a 500-lb. woman queefing into a microphone for 64 minutes and it would still become the #1 album in the universe based on nothing more than reputation. The Beatles did the same thing with "Yellow Submarine." They dropped a shitload of acid and just said, "Let's write a song about whatever our acid-soaked brains can conjure up and say the same thing over and over again and see if people are stupid enough to think it's awesome." Guess what? They did.
Green Day's album, 21st century breakdown, was the #1 record in America BEFORE IT WAS EVEN RELEASED. How is that even possible? You mean to tell me it was the best album in the country before anyone even heard it? You tell me that isn't the perfect example of sheep mentality this country has to offer. The song sucks. Green Day sucks. Anyone who likes them sucks. Anyone who wants to point out that the song debuted in April and shouldn't be included in "songs of the summer" sucks. Fuck you. Fuck you. You're cool. Fuck you. I'm out.
Dumbed Down Version: Do you know your enemy? Yes, I do. It's Green Day. Fuck them.
Listen to the other songs on that CD before you pass judgment...
