10 Musical Collaborations That Didn't Really Work

When Green Day first announced that they were making a trilogy of albums, it didn't feel like the worst thing in the world. These guys had already written two untouchable rock operas, so they had enough experience under their belt to tackle something like this. And while Uno may have been a return to roots, Dos was the garage rock record where everything went wrong.

Then again, it's not hard to see why most Green Day fans like to clown on this song so much, being way too slow for a band that identifies as punk and Billie Joe Armstrong sounding like he's half asleep behind the mic during the chorus. Billie doesn't have to do much on this song though, with most of the lyrics being a rap from Lady Cobra, who hails from an underground band in the Bay Area that Billie was a fan of. This isn't Kendrick Lamar or anything though, since most of these lyrics sound like something that you would hear in some skeezy adult film than a Green Day album.

Considering Green Day don't do features all that often, having one of the only ones go to this track is mind boggling, like they're trying to tap into the dark atmosphere of Arctic Monkeys and winding up closer to the dozier side of a band like The Black Keys. While the punk side of things was already lacking on 21st Century Breakdown, this song made all of us wonder if we had lost the band that gave us Basket Case for good.
