Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong does “Manic Monday” for quarantine covers series
Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong has been doing a quarantine cover series on YouTube for the past few weeks. He started it with his “I Think We’re Alone Now” cover two weeks ago, and he turned it into a weekly series with his cover of Johnny Thunders’ “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory” last week. “Welcome to No Fun Mondays. Going to release a cover song every week until we’re let back out into the world,” he wrote. Today’s cover is the Prince-written Bangles hit “Manic Monday” and the bands’ Susanna Hoffs joins him on the video via split screen from her own home. Watch that, and the other two covers, below.
Billie recently performed on an iHeartRadio coronavirus charity show, and he’ll appear on another, Global Citizen’s One World: Together at Home, later this month.
