| Song |
"Stuck with Me" is the second single from Green Day's fourth album, Insomniac. The song is about being too weak, and too much of a push-over to stand up for yourself. It is also about being part of the upper classes after Dookie's release, and how Billie Joe Armstrong didn't quite fit in.[1] The song also appears on the Foot in Mouth EP.
Studio Mix-Up
When Green Day was recording songs for Insomniac, they were trying to think of an appropriate name for the song that later was released as "Stuck With Me". They also recorded the song now called "Do Da Da" around the same time. However, the song was originally called "Stuck With Me", because those words actually appear in that song. Unfortunately, there was a studio mix-up, and someone labeled the third track on Insomniac "Stuck With Me". When the band discovered the error, they felt the name was appropriate for the song and kept it. When it came down to deciding on B-Sides, Green Day decided to release the real "Stuck With Me". They in turn gave it the nonsensical name "Do Da Da".[1] It was later re-released on Shenanigans.

Music video
The music video was filmed in black and white. One half of the video shows Green Day performing the song (In black and white), and the other half displayed some of Winston Smith's animated artwork done for the album, thus making the contrast of colors the point of the video.
