Waiting

"Waiting" is a song by American rock band Green Day. It was released as the third single from their sixth album, Warning, and is the tenth track. The song peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart. The melody of the song is somewhat similar to that of "Do You Wanna Dance?" by Bobby Freeman as well as Nirvana's "Drain You" and Petula Clark's "Downtown". The song also appeared as the 20th track on their International Superhits! in 2001. Reception The song was also well received by critics. NME, in its review, stated that "'Waiting', with its Mamas And Papas melody and its Kiss Army hook, could sit respectably alongside the band's best material." Slant called the song "instantly memorable."
