I Think We're Alone Now - Billie Joe Armstrong - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Even though the impact of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic on the world can't be overstated, it is safe to say musicians and artists in general were among the most affected by this crisis. Unable to promote their work through live shows, music artists remained connected with their audience through live streams or home recordings while undergoing a bit of an existential crisis. Such was the case of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, who put his own spin on Tommy James and the Shondells' 1967 US hit "I Think We're Alone Now" in solidarity with all those practicing social distancing. Decidedly more punk-oriented than the original, Billie Joe Armstrong's take on the bubblegum pop classic features his sons on Joey and Jakob on drums and bass. It was recorded at his home in California and released on March 23, 2020. Shortly after its commercial release, the track reached Number 7 on the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs.
