Green Day Does "Food Around the Corner"

It would seem that Tre Cool, drummer for the rock band Green Day, is a Looney Tunes fan. A fan's home video of an early Green Day gig in 1994 has surfaced on Youtube, in which the band performs "Food Around the Corner", the flea's song from Bob Clampett's 1943 classic "An Itch In Time"! There are a couple different performances on Youtube, so they must've done it several times. In this version, Cool and lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong do it as a country-fied harmony piece, and it must've caught their punk-rock fans off guard! Here's the clincher: It's GOOD! See for yourself!

I've heard rumors that they did a version of this song. Now I've finally heard it for myself. Thanks for finding this.

Of course it was good. They can sing, play their instruments well, and have a sense of rhythm (and clearly, a sense of humor!).
