"Brain Stew / Jaded"
Song

"Brain Stew" / "Jaded" are two songs by the American punk rock band Green Day. They were released as the third single from the group's fourth studio album, Insomniac. The two songs were released as one single, as the songs are transitional, "Brain Stew" ending and moving right into "Jaded" without the music stopping. Brain Stew is the tenth track on the album and Jaded is the eleventh track on Insomniac as well as the 2001 compilation album International Superhits!. The main riff of the song samples 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago (band).

When the song transitions to "Jaded", the video transitions to normal color and fast shots of the band playing the song. The video was directed by Kevin Kerslake.[1][2]
