Green Day's 2001 singles collection, International Superhits, was nice, but now these San Francisco East Bay punks are really spoiling us. Shenanigans sweeps up Green Day's assorted rarities, oddities, and B-sides into one surprisingly coherent package. The poppy "Suffocate" is just as good as anything that showed up on the previous compilation. "I Want to Be on TV" is unruly American pop punk at its best. And the smart surf-guitar instrumental "Espionage" will already be familiar to anyone who owns the Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack. Meanwhile, the straight-faced cover of The Kinks' easy-listening favorite "Tired of Waiting" is truly something to behold. Sure, some of these tracks would have benefited from withering in obscurity forever--but the rest capture Green Day in fine style. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

A collection of 14 rarities from the modern rock superheroes, including B-sides, import-only and vinyl singles from 'Dookie', 'Insomniac', 'Nimrod' and 'Warning'. Then covers of the Ramones' like 'Outsider' & the Kinks 'Tired Of Waiting For You'. 2002. Reprise.

Customer Reviews:

Shenanigans is petty good........2006-07-30

This cd was pretty ok, most of the songs were catchy and punk style, but i also wish they could of put the lyrics to the songs in the booklet! Oh well, pretty good album to add to your Green Day collecion!

"Ha Ha We're Not Dead Yet!".......2006-07-22

You could fill 3 discs with the shenanigans of Green Day, and I'll admit they left a lot out on this album, but this is the ultimate prelude to the operatic, arena-rock smash hit to follow. Remember the good old punk days of Green Day with "Shenanigans".
Here's a run-down of the tracks...

01. Suffocate
A song about living under influence with a driving beat, SOUNDS LIKE GREEN DAY! It took me a few tries to appreciate this song, but it really is good. 3/5 stars

02. Desensitized
A surreal, Smiths-esque beginning soon explodes into a driving song about the Internet, reminicent of "Brain Stew". This song spent a few weeks at the top of my iPod's Top 25 Most Played list. Fantastic, with lyrics that ring so true (why do you think you're online right now?) 5/5 stars

03. You Lied
A song with a good beat and fairly bland lyrics, "You Lied" never got far. It's not a highlight, but it's not filler, and good to listen to while driving. 4/5 stars

04. Outsider
My mom liked this. A Ramones cover, done pretty damn well too. 4/5 stars

05. Don't Wanna Fall In Love
I love this hyper little song about hating love (ironic, isn't it?) A creative guitar solo for this Green Day era too. 5/5 stars

06. Espionage
Green Day's second-ever instrumental (the first being "Last Ride In" from Nimrod), and their only good one. I love this James Bond-esque tribute to suspense movie music. Note: They used this for the movie "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me". It's either that or "Scooby Doo". 5/5 stars

07. I Want To Be On TV
Now, what's the point of doing a cover if it wasn't a good song to begin with? I don't like this song much, not very good music, a little funny, though, when they yell "Then the world WILL BE ALL MINE!" 2/5 stars

08. Scumbag
A short song of hate written by the bassist Mike Dirnt, not very great, but okay. 3/5 stars

09. Tired of Waiting for You
Now THIS is a good song! A cover from The Kinks, and relatively quiet and easy to listen to. Sure, it rambles a little bit, but it's still far from filler! 5/5 stars

10. Sick Of Me
Now, this is what you would call a filler song. An uncreative anthem of failed relationship, not really worth listening. You hear the first line and you've heard it all, really. 2/5 stars

11. Rotting
An uncharacteristically morbid song from Green Day, sung in a lower octave, giving it a rich, tired sense. I don't know what happened to Billie Joe to prompt him to write this, but I like the result. 5/5 stars

12. Do Da Da
Okay, another filler, but one good thing about it is you can hear Billie laugh at the end. "Do Da Da" was meant to be the original title for "Stuck With Me" from Insomniac, and vise-versa, so that's the shenanigan factor of it. 3/5 stars

13. On the Wagon
A slow, driving song that is gently sung strikes home as an alternative love ballad. This is pretty good, and kinda catchy once you hear it a couple of times. 4/5 stars

14. Ha Ha You're Dead
This is the other song Mike wrote on the CD, and widely regarded as the best song on the whole thing. And regarded correctly! The music is great, the lyrics are great and it's so happily hateful I play it over and over again. The chorus is the best part. Viva Hate! FOREVER! 5/5 stars

So, buy "Shenanigans", my friends. Buy, buy and reminice (sp)
about the good old days of Green Day, but celebrate the splendor yet to come! Cheers.

Shenastic.......2006-07-06

this is a wonderful CD.
not many bands make these kinds of CDs
but theres no surprise that the world's most
famous band since at least 2004 with american idiot
the only modern band to make a real rock opera and basically a good rock CD worth listening to--or even before then--has made one. the songs range from reg punk green day, to some diff more mellow sort of, all of what a green day cd would have. what would this world be without green day? exactly. some of the highlights i especially enjoy are do da da, and tired of waiting for you. my favorite is rotting, it is excellent and its like no other green day song ive ever heard, actually unlike any other song ive heard period. melancholy sorta? its amazing.

ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION!!!.......2006-07-02

Great Green Day cd! I would rate it 4 and a half if I could. Almost five!

1. Suffocate - Great song, and great lyrics! This song's about a guy that's drunk, and he's tryig to "Get Off."

2. Desensitized - 2nd best on the whole cd!

3. You Lied - Catchy tune! After a while, it gets boring though.

4. Outsider - Cover of The Ramones. Green Day's version is way better!

5. Don't Wanna Fall in Love - Heart pounding, hed smashing song! Really fast. About a guy trying to not fall in love!

6. Espionage - It was in some spying movie...

7. I Want to be on T.V. - Only a minute long. Similar to "Take Back" from Nimrod. A five star song! Rock On!

8. Scumbag - Me and all of my friends love this song! My favorite off the whole cd! On ITunes I noticed they wrote S*****g.

9. Tired of Wiating For You - Cover by the Kinks. Shows the slower side of Green Day.

10. Sick of Me (or Sick) - 5 star song!

11. Rotting - Pretty twangy guitar! I would have made the words a little different...

12. Do Da Da - There's a long story on this song! While recording the "Insomniac" cd, Thsi was one of the B-Sides. The Songs "Stuck With Me" and this one were mixed up. This then became named a stupid name for a song, the present "Do Da Da."

13. On (off) the Wagon - Great song.

14. Ha Ha You're Dead - Awesome!

Maybe I'll rate this cd 5 stars instead!!!

This is a great CD.......2006-05-22

This is a great CD and I really like the song HA HA YOU'RE DEAD.

To hell with Rhino.......2005-08-11

It was said by Everlast himself(on his Island Record message board) about a month before this CD came out, that he was not asked permission to make the CD, and nobody from House of Pain is making money off of it. Rhino only got Tommy Boy's permission, and made the CD. This means that Everlast, Lethal and Danny Boy all got jerked by Rhino. Screw Rhino. This CD is a joke, and the ones who decided which tracks go on this CD need to die. This CD was NOT remastered, and this CD does NOT express House of Pain/Everlast's greatest songs. DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM. But if you do so choose to, please, by a used copy. Everlast isn't making money off of this, Lethal aint seeing a dime, and Danny Boy is getting jerked, too. Don't by this album. It's not a real Best Of album, and nothing on here is remastered.

Everlast/HOP fan from PA.......2004-02-25

I am a big Everlast & House Of Pain Fan. I think this CD is great and I think it's great they finally have a greatest hits. Though,the album is missing songs such as "Top o the morning to ya","The Have nots", "Fed Up","Today (watch me shine)","I Can't Move" and "Deadly assassins". But still,the album is great. And it's a must for any Everlast/HOP fans or hip hop fans.

The 2nd review on this page.......2004-02-22

Hey moron, "Word Is Bond" IS on that CD....you might consider actually listening to the CD before reviewing it. What an idiot.

House Of Everlast........2004-02-16

I've wondered for years why "House Of Pain" had no collections out, and even though this could be better, it's still "On Point". I do wish this included "Top O' The Morning To Ya", "House Of Pain Anthem", "Back From The Dead", and "Beef Jerky", from the "Jerky Boys" soundtrack. But, it does have the classic "Jump Around", "Same As It Ever Was", "Pass The Jinn", and "Just Another Victim", from the "Judgment Night" soundtrack. There's even a couple of 1990 pre-HOP tracks on here from "Everlast". Although I do like his solo stuff, and hope he keeps recording, I think this could have been an all "House Of Pain" collection. Also, chronological order would have been nice to seperate the two eras. Still though, this is 17 tracks of dope beats, and "Fine Malt Lyrics".

Legends..........2004-02-14

Many of the kids that listen to hip hop today, might not even know who House of Pain (HOP) was. Unfortunately, this effort will not motivate them to know what a revolutionary hip hop band they were. The content is fine and it's great to hear these jams resurface. But what about jams like "Legends", "Fed Up", "The Have Nots", "X-Files", "Back from the Dead", and "Runnin' up on Ya". Because all of these songs and many others are not on this album, the title is definitely not fitting. The same goes for Everlast. From the album cover to the choice of songs, this album falls short of representing what HOP and Everlast have given to the hip hop game. Sadly, someone approved to make this item public before putting together a worthy compilation.
