My Gen X Playlist: Pulling Teeth – Green Day

Scroll down to see more content

Don’t eat anything hard, crunchy or sticky for a few weeks.

Bummer. I’ve really tried taking better care of my teeth over the past year. And I have. In my defense, the dentist told me a twenty year old filling eventually cracks and needs to be replaced. I had a temporary crown put in and have an appointment to return this Friday for the permanent one.

The dental technician advised me to chew on the other side for awhile. Little did she know that I also had a cracked tooth on the opposite side that needs fixing next. What the hell. What a mess. And in my defense again, this is probably due to years of grinding my teeth. I knew this teeth grinding would eventually catch up with me.

My dental saga (or shall I say horror movie) continues…

Today’s song is Green Day’s Pulling Teeth. The dentist told me worst case scenario the next one’s got to be pulled. The only fun thing about teeth pulling is Green Day’s song so I’ll play that instead.

I'm all busted up
Broken bones and nasty cuts
Accidents will happen
But this time I can't get up
She comes to check on me
Making sure I'm on my knees
After all she's the one
Who put me in this state

Is she ultra violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh God, she's killing me

For now I lie around
Hell that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true

Is she ultra violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh God, she's killing me

Looking out my window for someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm locked in here
All I do is cry

For now I lie around
Hell that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true

  2. Oh no. That sucks. I have an ancient retainer that I still wear that prevents grinding. My husband and son are constantly getting harassed by dentists to purchase very expensive mouth guards for that reason. They need to make those things cheaper!

  5. You know, Green Day’s “Dookie” is rightfully known as their greatest album, and it was also their breakthrough to worldwide stardom. This song never gets talked about, but to my mind it’s the best tune on the album.

    I’m going on Wednesday to get a couple old fillings checked. I’m sure there will be some work to do.
