Green Day is the fifth track on 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. The song is about Billie Joe Armstrong's first experience with Cannabis and how he felt. He wrote it before the band changed its name to Green Day, and the song is where the idea for the band's new name came from.

A "Green Day" is a day spent doing nothing but smoking marijuana.
