Shenanigans

about this album

Shenanigans is the second compilation album by American rock band Green Day. It was released on July 2, 2002, by Reprise Records. The album contains B-sides, rarities, covers, and the previously unreleased track "Ha Ha You're Dead". "Espionage", a spy-themed instrumental, was featured on the soundtrack for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and "Tired of Waiting for You", their cover of the Kinks song of the same name, was featured on the soundtrack for the 1997 film Private Parts. Shenanigans peaked at number 27 on the US Billboard 200 upon its release and has sold 280,000 units as of September 2010. Even though the original cover does not feature a title, several retailers fixed confusion over it by designing a sticker which was plastered on the front. In a September 2009 interview by Fuse on Demand, when asked who designed the cover for the group's eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown (2009), Billie Joe Armstrong said that Chris Bilheimer designed it as well as the last four album covers. The album was supposed to include a track titled "D.U.I." (written and sung by Tré Cool), but was removed. It was only available on unmastered copies of the album. Shenanigans been described musically as a mix of punk rock, skate punk, and hardcore punk. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
