Editorial Review:
A collection of 14 rarities from the modern rock superheroes, including B-sides, import-only and vinyl singles from 'Dookie', 'Insomniac', 'Nimrod' and 'Warning'. Then covers of the Ramones' like 'Outsider' & the Kinks 'Tired Of Waiting For You'. 2002. Reprise.
Description of Shenanigans:
Green Day's 2001 singles collection, International Superhits, was nice, but now these San Francisco East Bay punks are really spoiling us. Shenanigans sweeps up Green Day's assorted rarities, oddities, and B-sides into one surprisingly coherent package. The poppy "Suffocate" is just as good as anything that showed up on the previous compilation. "I Want to Be on TV" is unruly American pop punk at its best. And the smart surf-guitar instrumental "Espionage" will already be familiar to anyone who owns the Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack. Meanwhile, the straight-faced cover of The Kinks' easy-listening favorite "Tired of Waiting" is truly something to behold. Sure, some of these tracks would have benefited from withering in obscurity forever--but the rest capture Green Day in fine style. --Aidin Vaziri
Shenanigans Reviews:
Great collection of Green Day rarities 
2009-08-21 - "Shenanigans" collects 14 Green Day rarities, B-sides and covers, and is able to put them all together in under 34 minutes. Yes this is a short album, but it's another awesome burst of Green Day, and the fact that I picked it up for all of 7 dollars gives me no reason to complain.
Among these songs as the fast-paced, country-influenced and quite funny "Don't Wann Fall In Love", the instrumental "Espionage" which could very well be the theme to a spy show on TV, the loud, in-your-face "I Wanna Be On TV" which is reminiscent of classic Ramones and Sex Pistols, and a cover of both the Ramones "Outsider", and the Kinks' "Tired Of Waiting For You", both of which are great covers.
Well, there's not much else to say here, the music is great and inside the booklet we get more amusing pictures of the band in their...well, shenanigans! Be sure to pick this up if you want more great Green Day. Thanks for the time, and peace.
Great B-Sides Compilation 
2009-05-27 - Shenanigans collects b-side tracks from the albums DOOKIE through WARNING. If you didn't know any better, this could easily pass as an actual album. It's filled top to bottom with the catchy, high energy pop-punk that Green Day is known for.
The stand out tracks for me are: Desensitized, Do Da Da, Ha Ha Your Dead, Suffocate, Scumbag, You Lied, Tired of Waiting, Don't Wanna Fall In Love.
The Song "Espionage" was recorded for the first Austin Powers soundtrack.
My only complaint is that the songs "J.A.R.", "Maria" & "Poprocks & Coke" weren't on this. Buying INTERNATIONAL SUPERHITS! for 3 songs is kinda sucky.
Tracks 9 & 13 = DOOKIE b-sides.
Tracks 5,7 & 12 = INSOMNIAC b-sides.
Tracks 1,2,3,6,10 & 11 = NIMROD b-sides.
Tracks 4 & 8 = WARNING b-sides.
Track 14 was previously unreleased.
Cover songs: "Outsider" by The Ramones. "I Want To Be On T.V." by Fang. "Tired of Waiting for You" by The Kinks.
Best Green Day album
2009-01-19 - Even though Shenanigans didnt have any hits, I'd have to day that this is the Best Green Day album ever. Also to mention there's a Romones cover too. (Outsider)
Shenanigans (a.k.a. awesome CD =)
2007-12-29 - This is one of the best Green Day CD's and overall one of the best CD's ever! The best tracks are Espionage (Track 6), Scumbag (Track 8), Tired Of Waiting For You (Track 9, which is originally by the band Kinks), and Ha Ha You're Dead (Track 14). The last track (Ha Ha You're Dead) is the by far the best track and one of my favorite songs. The cover and the inside artwork is amazing; the inside artwork is a collage of all of the Green Day albums since Dookie. Plus, Billie Joe Armstrong is REALLY cute, which to me is reason enough to buy the CD! :D
Shenanigans is petty good.
2006-07-30 - This cd was pretty ok, most of the songs were catchy and punk style, but i also wish they could of put the lyrics to the songs in the booklet! Oh well, pretty good album to add to your Green Day collecion!
