Slappy Hour - what is it?
This is Green Day's first compilation album, consisting of all the songs off their first album '39/Smooth' (tracks 1-10), tracks 11-14 off the EP 'Slappy', tracks 15-18 off the EP '1,000 Hours' and track 19 from the collaboration album 'The Big One'.
It was released as a CD in 2003, but all of the songs were released in 1991.
Members of Green Day at this stage were Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass, backing vocals) and John Kiffmeyer aka Al Sobrante (drums).
The album design and art was done by Jesse Michaels, member of Operation Ivy. Green Day cover Op. Ivy's song 'Knowledge' in the album.
The CD features enhanced content including photos, fliers, original posters, video footage
One of the coolest Green Day collectables that isn't over $20.
Me: Dude, I can't think of the coolest Green Day CD ever that features extra-special features from when I wasn't even born!
Green Day fan: You weren't born then?! Man you missed out on heaps of awesome shit. But it's 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours which you shouldn't forget.
Me: ... was that a hardcore Green Day fan not mistaking me for a tween who only likes American Idiot because they saw the film clips on MTV? Cool!
What does "Slappy Hour" mean?
Slappy Hour is the first hour of the night (Midnight, 12 AM) and it goes until 12:59. During that hour of the night, if you hear anyone exclaim that its midnight or simply state the time, you must slap them. This excludes text messages, through the telephone, or anyway that disallows you to physically slap them. You must only slap the slap victim once. Also, no slapbacks.
Robert- "Damn dude, its 12:30!"
*Johnny slaps Robert*
Robert- "What the fuck?"
Johnny- "Sorry bro, it's Slappy Hour"
