"Knock-down Drag-out" is thought to be significantly influenced by [[Green Day]]. [[Weezer]] lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] spent several years between the band's release of ''[[Pinkerton]]'' and ''The Green Album'' studying Green Day's music, and he may have drawn inspiration from the song "[[Worry Rock]]" for "Knock-down Drag-out." "Worry Rock," which Weezer covered in [[2003]], includes the lyric "A knocked down dragged out fight / Fat lips and open wounds / Another wasted night no one will take the fall." | "Knock-down Drag-out" is thought to be significantly influenced by [[Green Day]].

The ''Green''-era [[b-side]] "Starlight" may have formed the musical basis for "Knock-down Drag-out". The [[Catalog O' Riffs]] number for the latter is shared by an entry titled "'''Slow Starlight'''", in addition to an entry simply represented as a chord progression: "'''|C |F |C |F |'''" | |||
