About This Track
“Holiday” features a spoken word segment during the bridge that is unique to Green Day songs. While it caused controversy, this speech is generally regarded as anti-fascist, with Green Day accusing George W. Bush of being a fascist.
During live performances, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong liked to introduce this song with a political agenda, or alternatively, a disclaimer. For example, on Green Day’s CD/DVD Bullet in a Bible (2005), Armstrong announces, “This next song’s a big ‘fuck you’ to all the politicians. This song’s called Holiday! This song is not anti-American; it’s anti-war!” Which some consider to be similar to the way in which Bono of U2 would introduce “Sunday Bloody Sunday”; “This is not a rebel song…”.
“Holiday” was played in the movie Accepted and parts of the song were played in the movie Surf’s Up. The song is also featured in the video game Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland.
