DUI
There is some confusion over the rare song "DUI", written by Tré Cool, which is mentioned in the Shenanigans track listing but is not on the album. In the track listing, "DUI" is listed between tracks nine and ten, "Tired of Waiting For You" and "Sick of Me" respectively. All of the song information except for the title is hidden by a large spot of spray paint. This led to many years of speculation by fans. Finally in 2006, on the Idiot Club website, in the Question and Answer section, Mike joked that it was removed because it was filled with "great advice," then Billie Joe stated that he "likes irresponsibility, but not that much irresponsibility".
The song "DUI" can be found in its entirety at Green Day Authority.com This version is very low quality and the cd quality version can be found in the forum section of the site.
According to GDA, the track was originally posted on greenday.com.

Trivia

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
- There is a squishy noise on the song "Sick of Me" just before Billie Joe says "like a dog".
- Even though the original cover does not feature a title, several retailers fixed confusion over it by designing a sticker plastered on the side and shipped around the world. It is unknown who the creator is, but he is reported to be from Puerto Rico.
- Mike Dirnt plays the baseball bat in "Desensitized."
