- "Geek Stink Breath" is a song by Green Day which is about amphetamine and methamphetamine drug use. (thanks, Tom - New Hartford, CT) This was the first single from Insomniac, which was Green Day's fourth album. Their first 2 were released on a small label and didn't sell well, but their third, Dookie, was one of the best-selling albums of 1993. This put high expectations on this album, which also sold well, but not as well as Dookie.

This put high expectations on this album, which also sold well, but not as well as Dookie. Like most Green Day songs, this was not sold as a single in the US, which helped sell more copies of the album. It earned the chart position because of radio play.This song made it's debut months before the release of Insomniac. While still on the Dookie tour, the band made an appearance on Saturday Night Live. In addition to performing their current single "When I Come Around," they were told to perform either of their previous singles "Longview" or "Basket Case" for their second number. As a bit of rebellion against their management and the media, the band played a very crude version of this as their second song. It became Insomniac's first single when the album was released many months later. (thanks, George - Islip Terrace, NY)
