Talk:Holiday (Green Day song)

message: 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

message: 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)

message: 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)

replies: text: 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)

message: In the interests of avoiding an edit war on genre, it is important to note that when supplying sources for gene changes they should be professional reviews, directly related to the song (or album) and the information should be specific. There are currently sources referenced that do not meet the required standard.
