Shenanigans
Shenanigans is a compilation from Green Day, gathering B-sides, rarities and covers from across their career, along with one previously unreleased song, "Ha Ha You're Dead". It came out through Reprise Records on 2 July 2002, and it was the band's second compilation. Among the highlights are "Espionage", a spy-themed instrumental that featured on the soundtrack to Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and their cover of the Kinks' "Tired of Waiting for You", which turned up on the Private Parts soundtrack.
It sits between Warning: and American Idiot, a stop-gap for fans who wanted the odds and ends that never made it onto the main records. The sleeve carries no title, so many shops added a sticker to the front to help buyers. It reached number 27 on the US Billboard 200. Collectors might also hunt for unmastered copies, which contain Tré Cool's "D.U.I.", a track dropped from the final release.
