Where’s Green day?? In the title and thumbnail but not in the video

[joshfields]

Let's go Izzy! I love when Izzy and Jayse are paired in these videos. They're so fun together.

[denathegale]

Somebody dropped the ball and lost the Green Day

[xxifeelliketacosxx]

Wheres the Green Day segment? It says green day in the the title for you guys to right?

[alexandrew]

Janie's got a gun makes me think of not another teen movie 😂😂😂

[micmac]

Puff the magic dragon was once sung by Christian band Peter Paul and Mary and was NEVER about marijuana. The writer of the song is fed up about having to debunk that myth. It's about growing up and loss of childhood innocence.

[iamb_u]

Producer: What's this song about?
Izzy, every single time: "Drugs! Sex!" 😂

[flor]

Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters is literally about wanting to be a pilot.

[jasonb]

They should have done “Zombie” by The Cranberries

[grimmxlaw]

where is the green day part? it's in the title but nowhere to be seen.

[TheErnestoRos]

Hearing Mmm Bop when Hanson is older, actually hearing and understanding the lyrics. Being 40….. whoa

[BPC]

Closing Time spawned my class motto: “Every new beginning, comes from some other beginning’s end.”

[tdcfc]

Just here to compliment Julie's music taste again. Just threw some NIN in there. The Downward Spiral is just on a whole other level.

[MGC-XIII]

RHCP Under the Bridge is actually much deeper because he wrote it after losing a former band member to an overdose of Heroin.

[savannahraemccracken]

Shoutout to the woman that said Hansen looked like girls because the joke in my family as an androgynous little girl was that I was the forgotten Hansen brother 😂😂

[elizabethseals]

These were THE songs when I was in high school. I've only listened to the first song and my mind is blown. We didn't have smart phones and computers were so slow because of the modems. So, a lot of us didn't look up lyrics. Some CDs would have the lyrics on the cover and I would get so excited. Most didn't. 😮😂

[random_j._cosplay]

"I don't know, but don't ruin it because that was my graduation song. "... same Izzy 🤣

Also, geez... how many years was that song used at graduations because I'm like a year older than Jayse and started high school when Izzy was like one year old?

[Totchi]

"zig-a-zig-ah" is not about cigars, it's literally an insider word the Spice Girls made up for sex. It phonetically describes the in-and-out motion ending with an "O", that's what it means.

[wnmgjhd]

Brittany and Izzy and Jayse are just so funny as for Brian Love you guy . Everyone was great

[SKification]

The Pearl Jam song reminds me of my little sister. We grew up together only to discover as 33/30 respectively that she was not my biological father’s daughter. He knew it. He raised her. He recently passed and I will always love him for being so loving. RIP James.
