"American Idiot" is a protest song[2] by the American rock band Green Day. The first single released from the album American Idiot, the song received positive reviews by critics and was nominated for four 2005 Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Best Rock Song, and Best Music Video. It is considered one of the band's signature songs.

One of the two explicitly political songs on the album (the other being fellow single "Holiday"),[3] "American Idiot" says that mass media has orchestrated paranoia and idiocy among the public. Citing cable news coverage of the Iraq War, Billie Joe Armstrong recalled, "They had all these Geraldo-like journalists in the tanks with the soldiers, getting the play-by-play." He felt with that, American news crossed the line from journalism to reality television, showcasing violent footage intercut with advertisements.[4] Armstrong went on to write the song after hearing the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "That's How I Like It" on his car radio.[5] "It was like, 'I'm proud to be a redneck' and I was like, 'oh my God, why would you be proud of something like that?' This is exactly what I'm against."[6] Songwriter Mike Dirnt felt many people would be insulted by the track until they realized that, rather than it being a finger-pointing song of anger, it could be viewed as a "call for individuality".[7] The song emphasizes strong language, juxtaposing the words "faggot" and "America", to create what he imagined would be a voice for the disenfranchised.[8]

In a 2004 interview with Q Magazine, the three members of Green Day discussed the idea of flag desecration in relation to their song, with Armstrong and Dirnt being the most supportive: "It means nothing to me. Let's burn the fucking thing."[9]

Released in 2004, the single peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Green Day's first Billboard Hot 100 chart entry.[18] All of Green Day's other hits had only managed to chart on the Hot 100 Airplay chart or the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.[18] However, the appearance of "American Idiot" on the US singles charts occurred just prior to Billboard's inclusion of Internet download purchases into their Billboard Hot 100 chart data, which would have made a significant difference in the song's peak had it benefited from the new chart tabulation system.[19] "American Idiot" became Green Day's first top-five single in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 3, and it debuted at number 1 in Canada. In Australia, the song reached number 7 was ranked number 22 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004. Green Day performed the song at the 2005 Grammy Awards.[citation needed] "American Idiot" has sold 1,371,000 copies as of July 2010.[20]

The music video for "American Idiot" shows the band playing in a warehouse against a green American flag (a reference to the name of the band), which only has 48 stars. In the middle of the video, the band is seen playing at different speeds (fast, slow-motion, and normal speed). During the bridge, the stripes of the flag melt onto the floor. The band is then sprayed by a green liquid from amplifiers next to the flag. At the end, the band drop their instruments and leave.[21] The song's video was directed by Samuel Bayer. The video won the Viewer's Choice Award and also nominated as Best Art Direction.[22]

Green Day's 2011 live album Awesome as Fuck contained a live rendition of the song, featuring an extended guitar solo, recorded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on the 21st Century Breakdown World Tour. It was also featured in their 2005 live album Bullet in a Bible, set at Milton Keynes Bowl.

"American Idiot" was ranked the number 13 Single of the Decade by Rolling Stone magazine in 2009. VH1 also placed the song at number 13 on its Top 100 Songs of the 2000s in 2011.[23] Rolling Stone ranked it number 432 of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2010, the only Green Day song on the list.[24] The song is certified Gold in the United Kingdom for sales of 400,000.[25]

In advance of Donald Trump's visit to the UK in July 2018, a campaign to get "American Idiot" to the top of the UK song charts was launched.[26] On the Official UK Charts dated 13 July 2018, the song re-entered the UK Singles Chart at 25 and the UK Singles Downloads Chart at number 2.[27]

I stand disarmed. Even my egomania can't pretend to be worthy of mediating the insane glory of this compilation. The scoop: Ads were placed in magazines throughout the 1960s and 70s for "songs" and "poems" that were "needed" for recording. And the salt of our exclusively God-blessed nation stood horny to (pay to) volunteer their inane scribblings for semi-cynical one-take sessioneers.

"Blind Man's Penis": I hope my mom isn't reading this review. These lyrics aren't honest; they're by someone who sent them in to see how far the song-poem orchestras would go for a vanity-buck. This anthem is about warts and nipples and zebras and Nazis and erections and gelatin-fingers. Recommended for white weddings.

There were so many mistakes that it will be miracle if it survives. No promotion, to many small episodes with few songs, too many ads, all songs were similar, no diversity, stage was just average. It should be done as Eurovision, 2-3 semis and final in one week to keep excitement. They should already know the host state so they can have time to prepare. But it looks like no one wants it. Btw why UK choose same American company to create the stage when ASC stage was so bad?

Ngl, it was a miracle that the first season came to an end instead of being cancelled halfway through. As for the show, the songs were fine overall, but the format and the mess they made with the rules affected it

It wasn't just the words. The music of nineteenth-century American popular music, following familiar melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic patterns, was essentially free of surprise. The popular music of the 60s and afterwards would be increasingly harsh, dissonant, and aggressive. Both pre- and post-Golden Age popular song was generally simplistic in its melodies and harmonies, as well as in its lyrics. The Golden Age, by contrast to the periods that preceded and followed it, brought out a melodic invention, harmonic richness, and lyrical creativity that would not be seen before or afterwards. This, too, had its psychological effects.

Meanwhile, for my father (born in 1920), who was the son of Polish immigrants and who grew up on the Lower East Side of New York, the Golden Age songs served as a means of assimilation. Offering sentiments he could identify with and images he recognized, these songs (just like his favorite novelists, Sinclair Lewis, Booth Tarkington, and John O'Hara) helped introduce him to the America beyond his household and his immigrant neighborhood. Part of what made these songs seem familiar to him, even as they helped bring him more closely into the American family, was that many of the people who'd written the songs had, in fact, grown up in the same streets in which he'd grown up and were, like him, the children of immigrants.

This sappy but undeniably sincere ballad hits all the soft spots: supporting the troops, loving your neighbor, giving it up for religion. Adorned with a rousing chorus and uncontroversial feel-good message (take some notes, Toby Keith), it's become the go-to track for political conventions, military morale-boosting, and Six Flags laser light shows. The song's been re-released multiple times to coincide with various national events, including the death of Osama Bin Laden. Fact: It has been played during every 4th of July fireworks display since 1984.

Francis Scott Key was a gifted amateur poet. Inspired by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry the morning after the bombardment, he scribbled the initial verse of his song on the back of a letter. Back in Baltimore, he completed the four verses (PDF) and copied them onto a sheet of paper, probably making more than one copy. A local printer issued the new song as a broadside. Shortly afterward, two Baltimore newspapers published it, and by mid-October it had appeared in at least seventeen other papers in cities up and down the East Coast.

The jury consisted of 56 musical experts each representing a U.S. state, territory, or Washington D.C. The jury members evaluated the artists on their performances, artistic expression, originality, and the hit potential of their songs.

Americans have been singing since the first Europeans and Africans began arriving in North America in the sixteenth century. Work songs, hymns, love songs, dance tunes, humorous songs, and parodiessuch songs provide a record of American history, serving both as historical sources and also as subjects of historical investigation.

During the colonial, revolutionary, and federal periods (1607-1820) most American songs were strongly tied to the musical traditions of the British isles. Hymn tunes, ballads, theater songs, and drinking songs were imported from England or based closely on English models. The main exceptions were the hymns of German-speaking communities in Pennsylvania, the music of African-American slave communities, and the songs of New Orleans, which were closely linked to the French West Indies and to France. Those exceptions aside, the most distinctively American songs were patriotic ones, like Yankee Doodle and the Star Spangled Banner, and even these were adaptations of English originals. e24fc04721
