FROM STEREOGUM – It’s like The Simpsons theme song we all know and love, but with louder guitars and more angst!
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.
