Play Him Off, Green Day Cat

Posted Tue Jun 2, 2009 4:47pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in As Heard On...

As anyone who has even casually browsed YouTube lately well knows, Keyboard Cat is the latest Internet darling--effectively and immediately rendering Tay "Chocolate Rain" Zonday, Chris "Leave Britney Alone" Crocker, and even fellow Interweb feline Spaghetti Cat obsolete.

But for those of you unfamiliar with the utter awesomeness of Keyboard Cat (presumably because you've been using an abacus, not a computer, for the last month or so), here he is in all his camcordered, onesie-wearing, ivory-tickling glory:

Anyway, Keyboard Cat has spawned thousands of viral-video parodies and tributes, but perhaps the greatest one of all features no kitty whatsoever. Instead, it stars the members of Green Day on The Colbert Report, in what is possibly THE greatest moment of their entire illustrious career:

If Green Day retire tomorrow and never record another song or make another public appearance again, they ought to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame based on this video alone. Genius.

haha Green Day, I swear...you guys are so funny Tre, Mike, Billie...honestly!!!! its a shame you stole music and got that lawsuit....because i would say that i love you if it wasnt for that...

104. Aubrey -
but to the haters-honestly...how old are you ten? if you have hateful things to say, say them in actual truthful things. Green Day is not "gay" and they do not "suck" things. they are all happily married men. I have been a Green Day fan for ages. If you wish to burn them, feel free to make fun of things that they actually do (like guyliner) and not things that they dont. they can take the actual jokes. Your jokes are just childish and pointless. It's pathetic.

That was quite possibly the most retarded thing I have ever seen in my life. First off, Green Day is horrible. One of the less talented punk rock bands that couldnt make it and went alternative/pop-punk. If you say they are still punk rock or rock, you fail miserably. Anyways, yeah the person controlling the cat could have atleast hid his arms better to make it a tiny bit funny.

They totally need to change some of the copyright laws. You can't even see one of the best moments on the Colbert Report ever. It was 'Simpsons funny, and on top of that. Some of the laws, like 5%-10% of copyright laws don't make any sense and allow room for bribary and harassment, etc. what is that about?
Still what is with professional musicans that they don't talk to people, nobodies anymore. That was supposed to be the thing that made them cool, Green Day being one of the best examples. But now, it's just sad, sad, sad, sad. Not to mention, they have so much big egos, It's a wonder the solar system is still up.

I can totally imagine Bert from The Used doing something like that. Priceless.

P.S. The new The Used record is going to be one of the best of the year. Guaranteed. Check out their new video.
