New Video: Green Day, ‘Stray Heart’

Green Day

Green Day's soundtracking a guy with heart problems -- but not the kind you think.

Ready for round two? Green Day are on to ¡Dos!, the second record in their punk album trilogy. In their "Stray Heart" video, a flirty guy tries to impress women with his record collection -- which might work if his heart wasn't already out roaming the city. No, for real: Dude's nearly "Walking Dead" status. Uh, we're gonna pass on dating the guy with a big, bloody, gaping hole in his chest -- how are we supposed to hug? The cat's already ruined enough of our sweaters.

But this guy's heart hasn't exactly gone missing all together. The stray organ, wearing vein-size skinny jeans, leads our sketchy hero on a run around town, where he goes looking for love and gets slaps to the face instead -- all while bleeding out onto his leather jacket. (I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure commitment is way less bad for you than resembling a shotgun victim/almost-zombie.) So what can we learn from this video? Being a player: literally gross. The metaphor comes with a bouncy track powered by a classic Mike Dirnt bass line and a sing-along chorus: "Everything that I need, I need from you/ But I just can't have you," Billie Joe Armstrong sings.

Not that we have to worry about Green Day taking their affections elsewhere: ¡Dos! is due Nov. 13 on Reprise Records, with ¡Tré! landing Dec. 7. We love you, too, guys.
