Troublemaker: Difference between revisions

"Troublemaker" is a notably repetitive song, with a guitar riff and drum beat that play unchanged throughout almost the entire song. It was added to the track list of ''[[The Red Album]]'' along with "[[Pork and Beans]]" after [[Geffen]] said that it was lacking potential hit single.

The song has seen release as a digital single, as well as a one-track promo.  A physical retail single was scheduled to be released in the UK in late September 2008, but it never surfaced. This has frustrated certain members of the fan community, who enjoy collecting the retail singles, which usually include exclusive B-sides - a continuation of circumstances for such ill-fated singles as "[[Dope Nose]]" or "[[Perfect Situation]]". Later it was suggested that, while plans for a retail single for "Troublemaker" have been abandoned altogether, all effort is being put towards the ramp-up of the next single, "[[The Greatest Man That Ever Lived]]".  

Later, another promo-only release for "Troublemaker" had surfaced, an EP of seven club/dance DJ remixes of the song called ''Troublemaker Remixes''.  These mixes are typical, mainly electronic, club-style remixes featuring little more than the vocal tracks from the original, although a few utilize other aspects such as the main guitar riff and the infamous ''wuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh'' guitar/vocal unison. One track even samples "[[Dope Nose]]".
