Green Day Play Springfield, "Chocolate Rain"

Anecdotal evidence and box office stats indicate that there are two or three of you that have yet to see The Simpsons Movie, but this is the no child left behind era, and we don't want the theater-averse among you to miss out. Perhaps you dug into the radio rip of Green Day's punk'd version of the Danny Elfman penned Simpsons theme, and now thanks to YouTube you can enjoy it while marveling at Springfield's intolerance for inconvenient truisms and Groening's Titanic tease.

Billie Joe with a teleprompter onstage? How perfectly Axl.

Oh, and Tre Cool sings Tay Zonday.

Who the heck watches the Simpsons or has seen the movie? That show has been dead for the past 7-8 years. IT was supplanted by Family Guy, but that also has fallen off recently.

Judging by the millions the movie is getting, quite a lot of people are watching I'd say.

it's just legions of fans coming out to see if the series fell off because they put all the love into the movie.

Seriously, did Chocolate Rain even need a parody? What a waste of everyone's time, the original's too funny to even try and parody.
