It's been almost a month since I saw 'American Idiot' but I still replay it in my mind because it was so incredible. And because I'm still so utterly in love with everything about the musical and want to revive my memory of it constantly, today's song is 'Whatsername'.
This was the song that stood out to me so much in the performance, and the week afterwards, I listened to it over and over and had it stuck in my head, until I had that obsession with 'Alone Again (Naturally)'. I'm happy to report that I now have been able to listen to different songs once again, which is great, because listening to the same song 166 times in three days is a bit excessive.
'Whatsername' has wonderful lyrics and music to accompany the story, and it worked so well in the storyline:

"I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been"
I couldn't decide which version of the song to share, because the original Green Day version is so different to the musical's. The Broadway version begins with acoustic and with strings (which I briefly mentioned in my post about the musical), and considering I am talking so much about the musical, I decided that I'll post that version, but I strongly encourage listening to the original as well, because it's so amazing and definitely one of my favourite Green Day songs.
