Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong shared a cover of Eric Carmen’s 1976 solo single “That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll” for the latest installment of his “No Fun Mondays” cover series
, started off with a sort of sparse, rockabilly vibe — the likes of which Bruce Springsteen would later emulate on “Glory Days” — and a big, brassy chorus buttressed with lush, AM-radio-ready backup vocals, Armstrong plays it straight. The guitar takes center stage in the music, from the scratchy riff to the wiggly lead line, leaving room for Armstrong’s voice to surf over the top.
“Today’s song is ‘That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll’ by Eric Carmen who was also in The Raspberries,” Armstrong wrote in the video’s description. “However the first time I heard this song was by teen heartthrob Shaun Cassidy. My sisters would dance around the house to this one!” . “Nice work Billie Joe!”] Armstrong of Green Day for this ultra-cool new take on ‘That’s Rock ‘n Roll’!”
