Shenanigans is the third compilation album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released on July 2, 2002 through Reprise Records. The album contains b-sides, rarities, covers, and a previously unreleased track, "Ha Ha You're Dead", which was recorded in the late 90s but never released[citation needed]. The song "Espionage" was featured on the soundtrack for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
Shenanigans reached #27 in the US charts upon its release and has sold 280,000 units there as of September 2010.[1] Even though the original cover does not feature a title, several retailers fixed confusion over it by designing a sticker which was plastered on the front. It is unknown who the cover's creator is. In 2002, Green Day went on the Pop Disaster Tour in support of the album; however, no songs from the album were played during any of the shows.
Shenanigans was reissued on vinyl for the first time in the U.S. on September 15, 2009.

"DUI"
There is some confusion over the rare song "DUI", written and performed by Tré Cool, which is mentioned in the Shenanigans track listing but is not on the album. In the track listing, "DUI" is listed between tracks nine and ten ("Tired of Waiting for You" and "Sick of Me"). All of the song information except for the title is hidden by a large spot of spray paint. This led to years of speculation by fans. Finally in 2006, on the Idiot Club website, in the Question and Answer section, Mike joked that it was removed because it was filled with "great advice"; then Billie Joe stated that he "likes irresponsibility, but not that much irresponsibility".
Due to the confusion, the song is sometimes considered a hidden track, despite not actually appearing on the album.
According to Green Day's official site, the song is featured on a Japanese version of the album; however, this is untrue. The only version of the album that contains "DUI" is an advance promotional copy. The song can be found in its entirety at Green Day Authority.com. A high quality version is also available on other websites and on bootlegs[citation needed].
