Green Day Cover "The Simpsons Theme"
Remember that will-not-confirm-or-deny-anything 20th Century Fox intrigue over whether Green Day were in fact getting Groening'd? That lasted about two minutes? Internet's fun like that. The internet's also really good for radio rips, though this one's really only a few seconds long. Green Day's cover of the Danny Elfman penned theme to The Simpsons was released today (in pink-donut cases, if you're near a Walmart/Circuit City/Best Buy/Barnes & Noble -- and face it, you are), but you can get a little listen of the punk'd version of the track at Pretty Much Amazing, who heard it earlier this month on KROQ.
If that's not enough for you, though, you can have the whole 1:23 jam with a buy at iTunes. Yes, this is Simpsons movie week, and yes, we are excited. But let's not forget that this fall the show kicks off its 19th season! Longer than some of you have been alive, we reckon. And they have treats in store. After the jump, a list of some of the celeb talent making the show's last teenage year a good 'un.
Word is we can look forward to yellow cameos from Jack Black, Lionel Richie, Topher Grace, Placido Domingo, Maya Rudolph, and Kurt Loder. And on top of that, Simpsons writer Al Jean says the Stewart/Colbert ticket will make their way onto the show, too, albeit separately: Colbert as Homer's life coach, and Stewart on a show in which Springfield is bumped up to host the first presidential primary. Apparently the town gets fed up with the candidates and writes in 'Ralph Wiggum.' Ralph in '08? Just maybe.

Geez, they made it sound pretty damn boring. Love The Simpsons´ theme and I have nothing against Green Day, but this sounded pretty damn lame.

I want to see this movie, but I don't wand to spend money that will make its way into Rupert Murdoch's propaganda machine. I think I'll by a ticket for a different movie and then sneak into the theater that's playing this.

Hey, you know what? I thought the movie was the end of the simpsons anywhere, including tv. I just wanted to let you know that.
To steve: some years ago it was very unusual to find someone who couldn't appreciate The Simpsons. But nowadays, things have changed. The episodes are aggressive and pointless. Previously, the show had some depth even without us knowing. Remember the one when Lisa needed braces? Even my mother laughs to the memory of that.

I have to agree with this statement, I do respect Matt Groening more than Green Day. Sadly, it still doesn't change the fact that the show hasn't been funny in about 10 years.

I can't wait for the movie, and i think the first two reviews of the movie were positive so i'm really excited. i don't understand the choice to have green day in the movie though.

I listened through 6 minutes of bad simpsons impressions, hoping i'd hear the vocals at the end... no dice. thank god for the link to the full track.
it's honestly pretty good. GD's surf-rock skills were evident on shenannigans (from that movie soundtrack)... in any case, all the hype about them writing lyrics was completely false, all he "sang" was the tune, with the syllables "da da". I was waiting for GD to embarass themselves again (following the U2 collab and Lennon cover), but they did pretty well for themselves this time around.
fuck, I didn't realize I'd have that much to say about this. sorry.
