Dookie is the third studio album by Green Day, released in 1994.Prior to this album, the band was floating under the radar, with their first two releases (39/Smooth and Kerplunk) receiving shrugs or light praise from the media. Their first album on a major label (Reprise Records), Dookie not only propelled them to stardom, but also allowed similar punk rock bands like them to finally make the big transition to the mainstream.While various music executives approached the band to make their sound more palatable, Green Day instead sought a more "dry" sound similar to the Sex Pistols and Black Sabbath. Touching on controversial themes such as lust, mass murder and boredom, the record faced numerous attempts in production to sanitize its content. Nevertheless, the lyrics and Punk Rock influences spoke to a population of youth similar to the manner in which Grunge and Alternative Rock conveyed a sense of dissatisfaction with the world.The album won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album, was certified Diamond by the RIAA for selling 10 million copies, and went on to sell double that, making Dookie the band's highest-selling album. It also spawned hit singles including "Longview", "When I Come Around", "Welcome to Paradise" and "Basket Case", all now seen as Signature Songs for the band.Despite this, the album unfortunately became a Tough Act to Follow for the band, with their next releases (Insomniac, nimrod., Warning:) failing to achieve the gargantuan success that Dookie did, although American Idiot managed to give them a comeback and artistic reinvention come the 2000s. | |

Self-Plagiarism: The latter half of "When I Come Around"'s verses have identical melody to the chorus of "80" from the previous album Kerplunk. | |

Epic Rocking: "F.O.D." is a subversion; only 2 minutes of its 6-minute runtime is actually used for the song, and after a chunk of silence "All by Myself" plays at the 4-minute mark. | |

Shout-Out: The robed character on the album cover is the woman on the cover of Black Sabbath's debut album. We can also see the album Easter by Patti Smith in the background. On early prints Ernie from Sesame Street was also seen on the back cover, but he was later airbrushed out in fear of litigation. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Dookie (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: A lot of the album's energetic, upbeat sounds mask very grim lyrics. "Basket Case" is an up-tempo, fun song about suffering neurosis. "Having a Blast" is about Murder-Suicide. "Pulling Teeth" is a catchy little tune about a guy getting beaten to a pulp by his girlfriend. | |

Intentionally Awkward Title | |
| Dookie (Music) / int_e0d20ea6 | comment |
Intentionally Awkward Title: The album title refers to diarrhea, which the band often suffered from as a result of eating spoiled food on tour and referred to as "liquid dookie". 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. | |
