American Idiot/Trivia

• The mashup album American Edit by "Dean Gray" remixes tracks from American Idiot with an extremely diverse range of other songs, ranging from Bryan Adams and The Offspring to The Beatles, The Bangles, Queen and the Doctor Who theme. It's surprisingly good and expands on the plot of the album. The band's label objected to the mash-up, but Billie Joe Armstrong supposedly heard it and approved.
