[edit] Lyric Issue

In the spoken verse, the second line goes: Paparazzi, Eiffel Towers, will criticize your government; not pulverise the eiffel towers. At least, this is what's written in the lyric booklet provided with the cd. Or is it a mistake in the booklet? I doubt it. - Ishaandirnt

[edit] George Bush OR Politicians?

Regarding the article: he said "'fuck you' to George W. Bush" and not "all the politicians". - Macintalk

There is a sentence in one of the first paragraphs that talks about "Jackson is so awesome he was secretly in every scence of the video..." Could someone who knows what that even means please fix it?

In regard to Macintalk, no he didn't. He said "...a big fuck you to all the politicians."

I do know on the Bullet in a Bible DVD, he talks about "all the politicians", but on other live versions of the song, he directs it towards Bush personally. -- Selmo ^(talk) 03:33, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Odd title

Anyone know why it's called Holiday when it's a song about war.Buc 21:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

my guess is that Armstrong is commenting how politicians treat their day job like it's holiday time. I have always felt that the lyrics are a mockery of how some politicians discuss and make decisions. Rosham60 (talk) 10:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Time signature

Isn't it in 12/8, not 4/4? The all the drum tabs suggest that its 12/8, and Tre at some points fills out a bar with 12 notes on the snare... So surly it's 12/8?

RE: I may be wrong, but i dont think the amount of snare notes he plays affects the signature as long as he sticks to the 16 beats (4 by 4). Im pretty sure its a 4 by 4 throughout, but hey, im not an expert! - ishaandirnt —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishaandirnt (talk • contribs) 15:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rock?

What signals this as Pop Rock and Boulvard as Rock? Who determines this? H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 20:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea. I move that it be labelled "rock" at least.--Jude 06:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I suggest Pop Punk like the rest of their songs on Wiki. H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 07:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I just fixed it. To justify it: the sidebar said that it was pop punk but the article said it was rock, so I just put "pop punk" into the article to match it up.--Jude 07:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Changed to Pop Punk...again. Guys, this is not Alternative Rock or Folk Punk(wtf?).77.30.217.141 (talk) 12:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] tre

did tre cool dress in a drag? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.8.69.18 (talk) 05:05, 4 March 2007 (UTC).

In the video, yes.--Jude 07:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

YOU stop changing the genre. -- Blaze7755 (talk) 17:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

This is not specifically directed at Blaze, but it's more appropriate to put it in this section than create a new one. DO NOT CHANGE THE GENRE IN THE INFOBOX WITHOUT DISCUSSION FIRST. If you want to get the genre of Green Day's music changed, please discuss the change at Talk:Green Day before actually making any changes. Thank you. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 19:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
