About this song: Welcome To Paradise
"Welcome to Paradise" is a song from Green Day's 1992 album Kerplunk and was re-recorded for their 1994 album Dookie. It went on to be released as the second single released from Dookie, after "Longview". The Dookie version was later included on their 2001 greatest hits album International Superhits!. The song is based on the band's experience moving out of their parents' houses and into an abandoned house in Oakland, CA where the band members, along with several others, lived without paying rent.
