History Music / Dookie

* FadingIntoTheNextSong: "Chump" --> "Longview". However, this is a rare case where they are not {{Siamese twin|Songs}}s.

->''""Punk turns into pop in fast, funny, catchy, high-powered songs about whining and channel-surfing; apathy has rarely sounded so passionate."''

* LyricalDissonance: "Basket Case" is an up-tempo, fun song about suffering neurosis.

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: The album title actually refers to "diarrhoea", which the band referred to as "liquid dookie" when on tour (they'd be suffering from it after eating spoiled food). The band actually wanted to name the album ''Liquid Dookie'', but this was deemed too gross, so the band had to settle for ''Dookie''.
** Most people didn't get this reference though, especially in non-English speaking countries, so it's partially a subversion of this trope.

* UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}}: "Pulling Teeth" may also be about this - or plain old physical abuse.
** Funny story, Mike Dirnt wrote this song in sarcasm about a pillow fight he had with his girlfriend. The band thought it was funny so they recorded it and put it on the album.

* OneWordTitle: "Burnout", "Chump", "Longview"

** "Coming Clean" was about Billy Joe Armstrong's coming to terms with his bisexuality at age 17.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: "Coming Clean" was autobiographical for Billy Joe Armstrong and referred to him telling about his bisexuality to his parents.

The album is seen by critics and fans alike as one of the greatest and most seminal albums of its time and of all time, being awarded the #193 spot on ''Magazine/RollingStone'''s coveted "500 greatest albums" list and winning the UsefulNotes/GrammyAward for Best Alternative Music Album. It was certified Diamond by the RIAA for selling over 10 million copies, and went on to sell double that, making ''Dookie'' the band's highest-selling album. The album also spawned various fan favourites of the band, including "Longview", "When I Come Around", and "Basket Case", all seen as some of their {{Signature Song}}s.

* ShoutOut: The robed character on the album cover is the woman on the cover of Music/BlackSabbath's debut album. On early prints Ernie from ''Series/SesameStreet'' was also seen on the back cover, but he was later airbrushed out in fear of litigation.

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: The album title actually refers to "diarrhea", which the band referred to as "dookie" when on tour. Most people didn't get this reference though, especially in non-English speaking countries, so it's partially a subversion of this trope.

* MinisculeRocking: "Coming Clean", "Emenius Sleepus" "In the End", and "All By Myself" are all under two minutes long.

'''''Dookie''''' is the third studio album by Music/GreenDay, released in 1994. Prior to this album, the band was floating under the radar, with their first two efforts (''39/Smooth'' and ''Kerplunk'') receiving shrugs or light positive reviews from the media. Their first album on a major label - Reprise Records - ''Dookie'' not only propelled them to stardom, but also allowed punk rock music to finally make the big transition to the mainstream.

'''''Dookie''''' was the third album released by punk rock band Music/GreenDay, and it was released right at the start of February 1994.

Prior to this album, the band was floating under the radar, with their first two efforts (''39/Smooth'' and ''Kerplunk'') receiving shrugs or light positivity from the media. ''Dookie'' not only propelled them to stardom, but also allowed punk rock music to finally make the big transition to the mainstream.

The album is seen by critics and fans alike as one of the greatest and most seminal albums of its time and of all time, being awarded the #193 spot on ''Magazine/RollingStone'''s coveted "500 greatest albums" list. It was certified Diamond by the RIAA for selling over 10 million copies, and went on to sell double that, making ''Dookie'' the band's highest-selling album. The album also spawned various fan favorites of the band, including "Longview", "When I Come Around", and "Basket Case", all seen as some of their {{Signature Song}}s.

Despite this, the album unfortunately became a ToughActToFollow for the band, with their next three albums (''Insomniac'', ''Nimrod'', ''Warning'') failing to get the gargantuan success that ''Dookie'' did, although ''Music/AmericanIdiot'' got pretty damn close.

!!Tracklist:

# "Having a Blast" (2:44)

# "Welcome to Paradise" (3:44)

# "In the End" (1:46)
# "F.O.D. (Fuck Off and Die)" (5:46)

!!I sit around and watch the tropes, but nothing's on...
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: From "Basket Case": "I am one of those/me-LO-dramatic fools."

** The hidden track "All By Myself".

** Funny story, Mike Dirnt (bassist) wrote this song in sarcasm about a pillow fight he had with his girlfriend. The band thought it was funny so they recorded it and put it on the album.
* LyricalDissonance: "Basket Case" is an uptempo, fun song about suffering neurosis.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: "FOD (Fuck Off and Die)". It sort of speaks for itself.
